Yes, we're coming again in a few weeks time (end of Aug). Although we weren't able to arrange a stay at the Dolph, we will be in for some evening meals and a lunchtime pint (all seven of us)! Jane Sockett.

I returned with my wife Lizzie and Jack Russell "Willow" nothing had changed except the specials on the menu, this is an outstanding Hotel situated in a beautiful village, excellent service, clean comfortable rooms, fabulous food of generous proportions............you'll love it.
Thanks to everyone, Howard on reception a lovely man, nothing is too much trouble for him, the bar staff, the waitresses, chambermaids, Head Chef Heil Harding, who consistently served outstanding plates of food, all made our stay once again memorable and relaxing.
we will without question be back..................................................

The Dolphin Hotel Beer, if you're checking to see what others think of the Hotel because this is your first visit then please read on, (if you've been here before, you already know it's absolutely brilliant so what are you waiting for)
I've been coming to Beer for more years than I care to remember, usually staying in Bank House a wonderful bed and breakfast accomadation, that was owned and run by Julia and Danny Clinch. (it's not so good now)
a few years ago Julia, Danny , his brother Darren and their Mother and Father bought the Dolphin Hotel, and what a transformation, this is without question the very best hotel of its type I have ever stayed in, a credit to them all.
The rooms are clean, airy and welcoming, comfortable beds with crisp clean linen, we had a quality shower, tea and coffee making facilities, fresh milk on request. I hate that UHT stuff.
Breakfast was excellent, I had the full monty most mornings,yummy! although not on the menu I requested poached haddock with poached free range eggs one evening, and it was there ready for me when i arrived in the morning, nothing ever seemed too much trouble for any of the staff.
Dinner was nothing short of awesome, Danny Clinch along with the kitchen staff, and his quite briliant head chef Neil Harding produced fantastic plates of food, do try prawn & crab cakes with curry sauce it's a fabulous dish, i could eat it for Breakfast, lunch and dinner and not get fed up with it.
The service whether in the bar or the very popular restaurant was superb, no complaints whatsoever..............
Nothing much more I can say really, Beer is a beautiful village caught up in the webs of time, it has plenty of good places to eat and drink, two very good art galleries, a fully working pebbled beach, just sit and watch the fishermen going about their daily shores, a picture box, romantic place but extremely hard work for them, you'll appreciate your next fish supper so much more knowing how hard it is to get the fish to your table.
Simon Bartlett runs self drive boats from the beach, try a couple of hours, mackrell fishing or just cruising around the bay, the best stress reliever i have ever found....................
why am I raving about the Hotel and village, nope I'm not on the payroll, I'm raving about both because this is simply the very best place in England to take a holiday, relax and recouperate.
Now, don't take my word for it, pick up the phone give them a ring, book a room for a while, and enjoy.
See you there guys..........................................

Having been doing the "caravan" thing for the last few years at various costal resorts, my wife and i decided on a change.
Ive been to to Beer a few times as a lad , and my father "george the greek" who is a well known face in Beer, recommend the Dolphin to us ,
We had a 2 night stay , and i havent stop talking about it since, our room was spotless, the restaurant was fabulous,, in a nut shell , everything was just perfect, i just only wished our stay was longer,
Beer, in general is a wonderful , unspoilt place which i can never tire of, and i really do hope to maybe move full or part time to in the future,
but for now , im eagerly awaiting out next say at the wonderful Dolphin hotel.

Great website. Be nice to see some sample menus - got one vegi in our party and when she was small she lived on cheese sandwiches and chips when we visited. Been coming to Beer since I was I child and stayed at the Dolphin in January 1976 on our honeymoon and many times since. Coming down again in July. Really looking forward to a few meals at the Dolphin. Jane Sockett

We are always keen to promote local musical talent and so if you know of any great sounding bands (max 3 members) please let me know. Thanks, Natalie

I would love to be able to thank the staff for an enjoyable dinner at the restaurant (on 4th August 2010), but I am sorry to say that our experience on this occasion was actually spoilt by less than adequate service. It may have been that the restaurant was busier than usual and some of the waiting staff a little forgetful that reason.
However, we plan to return. Mainly due to the excellent food, reasonable prices and great location.
