The Dolphin Hotel

We stayed Wednesday till Friday The room decor was so dated with embossed wallpaper on the ceiling We had to get the staff to change the shower head as no pressure The TV was that small it felt like We was watching a tablet I believe Auschwitz concentration camp had better amenities than the hotel Must say the night staff was helpful but the day staff didn't care n didn't speak much English Will never go back

Formerly called Comfort Hotel & now called The Dolphin Hotel disgusting hotel Trip with Shearings Coaches First impression I got when I went in garden 3 bags of Dog poo left on patio. Carpet dirty and stained in my room.Very bad paint work on skirting boards. Lamp shade base torn, corner of bath rotted wood at corner. Food disgusting wouldn’t give it to a dog.Chips cremated looked as if they was cooked 10 times over. Soup thick and had to wait for bread roll to come after 10 mins.Untrained very young waitresses.Ordered Fishcake chips and peas,came with broccoli and carrots which I don’t eat,told they was no peas,sent it back where they just scraped broccoli and carrots off and returned it to me. Ploughman’s lunch for main disgusting and had to ask for bread again Hotel flooded second night by rain,restaurant got flooded. Stay here at your own risk but don’t say you haven’t been warned. They need to pay you to stay here.

No heating on in November. Cold rooms windows streaming in condensation. Complaints from all guests so given small heaters which overloaded the electric and kept tripping out so sockets didn't work.only two sockets in room. Rusty soap dish in bathroom looked more like an ashtray. Run down hotel needs updating. Breakfast okish only one toaster working but took ages to toast anaemic sausages didn't look cooked.

I can’t believe the negative reviews about this place .I compare my luck on finding this hotel to a lottery win .Not the jackpot , maybe 5 numbers and the bonus ball on a double roll over week.On approach to the entrance of the hotel /establishment, I was greeted by a red carpet .I quite literally felt like a film star.Well folks , Hollywood didn’t end there ! We only booked a slandered room but sweeet mama what a room , sea view , kettle , a lamp , a TV , soap , toilet roll , towels …..intact far too many luxury items to list .I opted for the cooked breakfast …..two words …Jamie and Oliver . A stones throw to the beach (and I throw like a girl) this gem is right in the heart of ‘Yarm Vegas’ as I call it it.Thank you to the staff and also Bob and Winston who fixed the lamp bulbs for us .See you again soon x

After reading some reviews I was worried but what a pleasant surprise. Yes the hotel is older and could do with some updating but the staff and comfy bed more than made up for it. The staff made sure we had a lovely time and helped us with everything we needed. Jack the chef is young but is an excellent cook. The food was absolutely delicious. The garden is relaxing and has chickens in it! We will now definitely be regular guests.

Friendly helpful staff, easy checking in and out, hotel needs some updating, breakfast fantastic bar reasonably priced. Wifi was pointless but rooms had what you needed tea and coffee making facilities towels and shampoo also included
