Great 2 night stay in Newbury

We always have such a nice stay at the Dolphin. It’s relaxed there, but super clean and nice rooms with comfy beds and lovely bathrooms. The food is SO good too. Highly recommend!

Perfect one night stop over

Surprisingly lovely pub given town centre location. Berr gardens is a real treat, lovely interior and reasonably priced food and drink. Room was everything you needed- very spacious, plenty of tea/coffee toiltries. Loved the early breakfast set-up, all laid out ready the you are- great for us as we're always up at stupid o'clock and wanted to get back on the road early. Really pleasant stay, ideally located for the races- highly recommend.

Lovely staff, easy parking and a nice size room with a lovely bathroom. Only downside was the bright lights outside the window which made it a little bit harder to sleep!!

Great little pub to stay over

Friendly greeting as always. Set really close to town Centre, a characterful lovely pub. No hassle sign in. Room clean and always some bottled water. Smallest grumble was the lack choice of Jam for breakfast Will definitely stay again

Cozy boutique rooms

The hotel is actually a few cozy rooms above a pub. The rooms are spacious enough. I have also stayed at the Lodge in Newbury and the Dolphin was miles nicer. I was worried about noise facing the street, but it was very quiet. I never heard any noise from the pub. The staff were very nice and accommodating. This felt more like staying at a friend’s house. The staff are only there during limited hours, so if you are coming and going early and late you may find it inconvenient to get towels or other items refreshed. No after hours check in. You will have a key to access the building after hours.

Lovely little hotel

This is a lovely pub with refurbished bedrooms. It is located in the centre of town with great parking at rear. The staff were lovely. Breakfast is in the fish bowl! Lovely little room and there was plenty of continental food, no hot breakfast

Weekend away

Nice and convenient for our needs visiting family. Good size room. Small bathroom. The only real downside is that they dont service the room when staying more than 1 night. Food in pub very good with nice helpful staff.

Very small room and super hot... Stairs only. Window looked out on other windows so have to be careful for privacy. Great staff and breakfast!

OK!

Nice hotel. A shelf in the bathroom would make it more comfortable. Limited choice for breakfast, but that might be after-effects of covid.

Room was good , slight issues , tv wasn’t tuned correctly , no guide , don’t think the tea/coffee tray was refilled , only 2 small milks and no tea spoons ! Worst thing toilet cistern handle not working , water continually run instead of refilling after flushing , niggly things really ! Would stay again !

Fin vistelse med fantastisk service

Vi hade en fantastisk vistelse på det här hotellet – en upplevelse som överträffade våra förväntningar. Det som verkligen gjorde vistelsen minnesvärd var personalen. Från incheckning till utcheckning möttes vi av vänlighet, professionalitet och genuin omtanke. Rummet höll hög standard, frukosten var god och läget utmärkt. Vi rekommenderar varm det här hotellet.

Ótimo custo benefício.

Passei apenas uma noite no The Dolphin e gostei muito da experiência. Quarto e banheiro muito bons, ambiente do pub acolhedor, comida saborosa (Almoçamos lá). O café a manhã self service tb é satisfatório. Localização excelente.

Charming, immaculate, very friendly. Great to have pub downstairs to eat. Delicious. Comfortable bed. A little noisy until midnight because of bar downstairs. Room 4 on a Saturday night. Free parking. Delicious breakfast.

Nice pub, service great food and good accommodation. The owners went out of their way to ensure all guests were properly dealt with when a hot water pipe burst in the night, necessitating alternative accommodation to be provided. They organised the booking, drove us there and refunded our costs…this wasn’t necessary, buy very much appreciated. Thank you for dealing with a bad situation in the best possible way!

Overnight stay with friends

Overall a nice place. Sadly because of covid the bar was shut. Bedroom was very good but could do with internal double glazing as we were woken early by the local traffic. The continental breakfast was a bit sparse but was of decent quality. In normal circumstances I would think that the experience would be better but you can't legislate for Illness
