    Absolutely nothing to dislike but i would suggest that if anyone has issues with hill and stairs contact the hosts first to seek advice re room availability. I am 71yrs and my good wife not quite as old and we had no issues with being on the second floor but some, particularly of our age group, could easily struggle. I believe both hosts would give very good and honest advice .

    The breakfast(s) had a very good range of choice and everything was fresh and cooked to order. The location is absolutely fantastic and our room looked out directly onto the river/boats. The hosts, Andrew & Stephanie were so friendly and able to give good advice re local sites, restaurants etc.

    We loved everything!

    Dolphin Guest House is a true gem of a place: welcoming, comfortable, great location. Andrew and Stephanie are the perfect hosts and have created a cosy oasis right in the middle of bustling Looe. Exceptionally clean room and bathroom, wonderful room with fantastic facilities and an incredibly comfortable bed; amazing attention to detail, from the fresh milk in the fridge to free parking, fluffy towels and a proper hairdryer. Breakfast is cooked to order and delicious. Thanks for a brilliant couple of days.

    Stephanie and Andrew were so friendly and welcoming throughout our stay. The room was lovely with lots of extra touches in the bathroom and a good selection of drinks. There was plenty of choice at breakfast and cooked breakfast was delicious. With location being a short walk to the centre of town, we would definitely stay here again and highly recommend.

    Bit of a cliche but we really couldn't fault it.

    The view from the room is great, overlooking the river. Everything was spotlessly clean and the bed was very comfortable. En-suite was super with nice hot water. Stephanie and Andrew are fabulous hosts offering local knowledge, wonderful breakfasts, beer runs and they always greet you with a smile. The outside seating ares are a lovely place to while away an hour or two with a drink accompanied by some cheese :-) It is one of the nicest places we have stayed and we would love to return.

    Our stay at The Dolphin Guest House was a really lovely break. Andrew and Stephanie are very lovely couple and you can see why this is a such a good business. Everything was of a high standard. The best breakfasts we have ever had .It is a good location and spotlessly clean. The fridge and the parking permit a huge bonus. We hope to return.

    Beautifully maintained and restored 19th century Naval Officer's residence directly opposite the river with easy access Looe town centre(s) and the lovely little railway to Liskard. Stephanie and Andrew have done a remarkable job with this guest house since taking it over several years ago. They are both very welcoming, warm and sincere in their dealings with all their guests. This was our first visit and we both felt very much at home. Lovely little touches, such as a welcoming cup of tea on our arrival and in our room a small bottle of liquor, biscuits and a little table and comfortable chairs to enjoy the view of the stunning river from our 2nd floor front room. Breakfast was plentiful and beautifully cooked by the 'head cook and bottle washer' Andrew, whilst Stephanie did the hard work of keeping us supplied and topped up as required. Check out the delightful sitting room with framed pictures of Looe through the centuries, interesting selection of books and even a chess set ready for playing!

    Parking permit was a bonus but people with mobility issues may struggle with the steep slope and steps up to the house.

    Breakfast was excellent(mushrooms were to die for). Stephanie & Andrew were brilliant hosts, nothing was to much trouble for them. Room was spotless and very comfortable with all necessary toiletries , tea , coffee etc.

    There was nothing to dislike. This B&B was everything it was meant to be. Reviews are very true.

    The B&B was lovely, comfortable, exceptionally clean and tidy. Stephanie and Andrew was alway cheery and happy to look after us, during our stay. As for the breakfast it was amazing and plenty of choice. We will be back for sure at some point.
