Location and service, all was great! We could also easily get to a listed windmill. You can get to the bus station within 5 minutes' walk. The bed was comfortable and large.

The room was lovely, with a view over the garden. The staff of Dolphin went out of their way to make our stay AMAZING. It offers simple check-in too. Ogilvie's Grill House, where you can eat, is only a short distance to the hotel.
