Restaurant at Dolphin Hotel Beer Limited in East Devon

Stopped here for Sunday lunch, if l could give 0 stars, I would. Had the 'vegan version' so no cauliflower cheese, no Yorkshire pudding which is fine as I make the choice not to have dairy. But I'd expect at £15 per roast to have more than 4 tiny pale, bland potatoes and the tiniest slab of mushroom and pumpkin bake which was so dry, it was like it had been sitting under some form of heat lamp or the bottom shelf of an oven and re cooked more than once. The veg came out in a school dinner style metal tray, full of cold soggy veg sitting in a puddle of waterI had so little gravy (tasted like Bisto granules) that it had dried onto the food. Everything was cold and awful and the Manager only offered a 50% refund as my husband ate just slightly over half of his meal and I ate the peas which was the only edible thing before giving in and quitting. I'm not one complain and this is the first time I've ever asked for my money back when eating out. I feel like warning others if they come to Beer for a day out. There's a much better pub down the road called The Anchor where we had a fantastic and large meal after leaving this establishment. This js a genuine and honest review, I like to go out for nice food as it is a treat to do so nowadays with everything so expensive.

My stay at the Dolphin was lovely in April, clean and tidy rooms. Towels provided, tea and coffeerefreshments in the room which gave it a real nice touch. The staff are welcoming too.I've been back since for food which was really nice and I've booked to stay this month. So I would recommend anyone to eat/drink and stay here.

Can't think of anything wrong amazing staff so friendly and helpful room was great nice and spacious and top marks to the chef will be counting weeks down till we come again ty so much everyone xxx

Everything was clean and well appointed in my room. Quiet night’s sleep and excellent poached eggs with substantial breakfast today. Staff are welcoming ,cheerful and accommodating. Great value …would definitely come again andsample the lunch/dinner menus.

We loved this establishment and the very friendly welcoming staff.We were served by two lovely young ladies who could not have been more attentive.The food was excellent and as a vegetarian it was a joy to find somewhere that did a wonderful Omelette.When I became a vegetarian 60 years ago that was almost the only dish I could have and their Omelette at The Dolphin was one of the best I've ever had.The food was very reasonably priced and we cannot thank the staff for making our visit such a memorable one. I highly recommend The Dolphin to anyone who appreciates good food and pleasant waitresses to bring it to u.

Decent sized room and very clean. Staff are very friendly and the food was really good value. Would definitely stay again

Fantastic spot,a stone throw from the beach and a couple of nice pubs to eat and drink at.The staff are very friendly and recieved a warm welcome when i arrived and all the staff were only to happy to help with whatever you asked for.The single room was a good size,infact bigger than some doubles ive stayed in at different hotels!The room was clean and tidy along with the bathroom and didn't lack anything at all.Only stayed for one night as a stop off on the way to the lizard but will definitely book there again whenever im back in the area next.The cooked breakfast in the morning was nice although didn't go to much on the sausages,but thats probably just my taste!All in all I'd give the dolphin hotel 10/10🏴‍☠️

The "Family" room was dated and whilst the beds were comfortable the bathroom at 7ft x 4ft meant that there was no room if any to move. No shelving or hooks meant that you had to put clothes and towels on the toilet or floor. It was the smallest bathroom I have ever used. The new owners need to update rooms and bathrooms. The menu food was excellent and great value as was the breakfasts and a thank you to Patricia Rose the waitress, a delightful lady.

Stopped for lunch and had the best baguette I’ve ever had. Absolutely delicious and worth the price. Staff friendly and bar nice and clean. Very nice!

Lovely hotel in Beer, friendly staff, room was clean and fresh smelling. Restaurant and bar attractive short walk to the pebble beach. Will definitely recommend and look forward to visiting again
