uilt on the site of the original Dolphin Hotel, which was once an old coaching inn, the Dolphin Hotel first opened on 1st March 1986.

Boats used to use the site’s mooring posts when visiting the town, typically while the bustling town market was taking place.





The term ‘dolphin’ does not actually relate to the marine mammal, despite it appearing in the hotel’s logo for many years. In fact, a dolphin is a man-made marine structure that extends above the water level and is not connected to shore.
