Guest Reviews

• Dawn (10/5): - The room was clean and fresh and the breakfast was delicious.
• Timothy (10/5): Great for a weekend. - Warm, comfy room.
• TreeTrunk (9/5): 4 day w/end break - Gary is a great host. Very friendly, & informative of local attractions/bus times etc. He likes a good chat as well...good company. Nice Breakfasts, & decent size rooms. The only thing I can think of is maybe the Shower could be a bit more powerful. Otherwise, I'm struggling to find anything negative to say
• Kay (10/5): Perfect - Everything location is great room perfect and breakfast Fresh and hot but what makes it brilliant is Gary the host the most kind caring man Nothing
• Marion (10/5): Wonderful stay thank you Gary. - We both loved our stay at The Dolphin. Gary was a wonderful host who was very friendly and attentive and made very tasty hot breakfasts every morning. Our room was lovely and comfortable and we had everything we needed for our stay. Gary kindly replenished our hot drinks items and towels each day. We will definitely come back here again as thoroughly enjoyed it. Thank you 💞 Nothing to dislike.
• Richard (10/5): -
• Paul (10/5): A very enjoyable and comfortable stay. - The room and en suite were spacious, well appointed and tastefully decorated. The breakfasts were delicious. Gary the host was very helpful and friendly and is a mine of knowledge about Scarborough. The location was great for Peasholm Park and the North Bay and it was an easy walk also into the town. I can't think of anything that could have been better.
• Jeff (10/5): - We have recently returned from a lovely short break at The Dolphin. On arrival, we were met by Gary the owner who is really friendly and welcoming, the accommodation is spotless and our room had everything we needed for our stay. Breakfast was excellent and good quality. We would definitely recommend, and will certainly return.
• Birgit (10/5): -

• Annie (10/5): Perfect weekend stay - Gary was the perfect host. He made us feel so welcome, it was like staying with family 🙏 The Dolphin was immaculately clean. Our room was perfect, with everything you would need for a perfect stay. The breakfast was award winning and the location was so close to all the attractions. We will definitely be coming back x There wasn't anything we didn't like about the Dolphin.
• Emma (9/5): Very nice welcoming host very clean hotel - All fabulous clean and friendly. Could have done with a mini fridge in room as I buy my own milk as don't drink long life stuff
• mark (10/5): Had a great stay at the dolphin room was excellent and breakfast was first class Gary is a great host and we wouldn’t he - Great guest house in good location
• mark (10/5): Great find - Room was comfortable. Tea, coffee, biscuits and little chocolates.replenished every day. Even flannels supplied. Shampoo etc. Gary the host made a lovely breakfast which set us up for the day. Gave us tips on what was around the area. Over all a lovely few days here. Would recommend Nothing to not like
• Joerg (10/5): Lovely small B&B close to Peasholm Park - Gary is an absolutely lovely and dedicated host. Waited for me until late in the evening when I forgot my key in the room. Thank you, again! My one bed room was spacious and was not lacking anything. If I make it back to Scarborough I'll come back right here.
• Jp (10/5): Scarborough North Beach - Gary is the perfect host and knows everything about sights and things to do. Spotless room with daily coffee and biscuits refill. Spacious bathroom with hotel style toiletries. Full English breakfast served daily. The location is excellent, and bus stops for long and short distances are close by.
• Phil (10/5): Should be called Carlsberg guest house because it probably is the best in Scarborough - The host, Gary, welcomed us with a wealth of knowledge and information regarding Scarborough and the local area. What was happening that weekend in the outdoor arena and around the area. The property was spotless with a very comfy bed, seating area and en suite bathroom. Tea and coffee making facilities which we simply could not fault. Finally, breakfast! Fantastic, cereal, juice and the beautiful full English. We were made to feel as if we had known Gary for years and we were long time friends not just guests. Highly Recommended. There is nothing to not like. Bars and restaurants within 200m, open air theatre is 400m along with the north shore beach. The town centre is about a 15 min stroll.
• Peter (9/5): Birthday stay in Scarborough - Everything apart from not having a small Fridge in the room. Gary was extremely friendly & helpful, & went out of his way to help people with any questions they had about their stay. He even bought my Wife a Birthday Card when he saw Cards in our room. Would highly recommend. Not having a mini Fridge to keep things cool
• Thomas (8/5): Very good -
• D (10/5): Exceptional - Nice clean room . Gary was very helpful and polite. No issues
• Alister (10/5): Exceptional - Absolutely brilliant host, very comfy, wonderful home cooked breakfasts
• Andrew (10/5): Exceptional - Gary was very welcoming and had great knowledge of Scarborough. The room was very clean and was refreshed every day. Breakfast was lovely. Would definitely book again Nothing
• Stuart (9/5): I needed a break and I wasn't disappointed. - Breakfast was excellent. Prompt service and good choice. No issues. The host, Gary is friendly and informative. Nothing was too much trouble. The location was well placed for local attractions, but quiet in the evenings. One gripe, the wc in the room I was in needs to be a little more powerful. But the room was fine and I'm always happy with an en suite. The cleanliness is spotless and I appreciate what effort goes into that. I also never needed to request anything, all was refreshed each day.
• Keith (9/5): Superb - Friendly, attentive and good food recommended to any one. Noise from the road but it quited down at night.
• Donna-Louise (10/5): - The breakfast was fabulous the room was cleaned everyday and the service and manner of the person who owns the place was fabulous

• Jacob (10/5): Recommended! - It’s excellent, very friendly and helpful owner, clean rooms, great breakfast.
• Helen (10/5): Exceptional -
• Martijn (10/5): Scarborough has enough to offer on its own but is also an excellent starting point for various day trips. The Dolphin Gu - Had a great stay in Scarborough. Very comfortable room, good location and a great host. Gary made sure I had some vegan options for breakfast and had good recommendations for both Scarborough and other places I was going to visit (although all squirrels at Formby Nature reserve seems to have died, some other frequent visitors hadn’t spotted them in years). :-/
• Otto (8/5): Enjoyable stay, kind host - Gary is a nice and caring fellow that goes the extra mile. I've had a delicious full english breakfast, where I chit-chatted with other guests. There are comfy beds to sleep in, overall Dolphin is surely a recommendable guest house for the price. Some small improvements could be made for the bathroom - namely the dim lighting and inclusion of some air freshening agent.
• James (10/5): Birthday break at the Dolphin - Gary, he is an excellent host with lots of local knowledge, and if he didn't know, he would find out for you Nothing
• Susan (10/5): - The property was very cental a straight walk from the railway station. Near to the buses I need the park and town.
• Lee (10/5): Exceptional stay - Located near to peashom park and the promenade. The room was spacious with all the amenities you require. The breakfast was ample and of good quality. Gary the host was friendly and helpful and knowledgeable about the area. Nothing
• Stephen (10/5): Stay in Scarborough - Great stay Gary is a great host and full of local knowledge, breakfast was top notch and a good size
• Paul (10/5): 3days - very nice breakfast Gary was spot on good place to stay none
• Roger (9/5): A great place to stay in a good location for North Bay. - Gary, the host, was very welcoming, friendly and helpful. Our room was spotlessly clean and well furnished. I can highly recommend the breakfast, good choice of juice and cereals, the cooked breakfast was superb. Nothing.
• Peter (10/5): My personal review of the Dolphin. - I would highly recommend the Dolphin & Gary as a host where nothing is too much trouble I would add he provided a excellent breakfast which set you up for the day & the room very clean & comfortable. There was nothing I didn't like,thankyou.
• Mann (10/5): Exceptional -

• Awalker (9/5): Very comfortable stay with a great breakfast - Owner was very friendly and helpful and, by prior arrangement, offered to let me leave luggage and access room early as I was there much earlier than expected. He also advised me on quickest and cheapest way to get to RSPB Bempton which I had previously given up on going to. Check in and check-out were both very smooth. Room was clean and comfortable. The bed was very comfortable. Tea and coffee making facilities in room were great with a biscuit and mint - all refreshed daily. A range of toiletries was provided in a very clean ensuite bathroom. Shower worked fine and was hot. Location is about 15-20 walk from station and town centre (I couldn't see an obvious bus route but personally didn't need one). There are convenience stores nearby. Full English cooked breakfast was excellent with tea or coffee juice and toast. I was in Scarborough for an event a Scarborough Spa and although not the closest acommodation to the Spa this was an great base for me - quite an easy 25 minute walk to and from the Spa and easy access to other parts of Scarborough. Very good value stay. Nothing

• Mark (10/5): Superb in Scarborough. - The host was very welcoming with nothing being too much trouble . Excellent breakfasts. Nothing
• Diane (10/5): Great stay - This is the most nicest place to stay. Owner Gary really knows what the guests need. Rooms comfy ,clean, .and well presented. Room cleaned every day, with fresh towels and refreshments replenishing. Breakfast is fantastic, well cooked, and served hot. Toast is thick cut with choice of white or wholemeal. I have stayed in many places in Scarborough, which have never reached the standards at the Dolphin. Gary's hospitality is excellent. This is highly recommended the place to stay. Lovely Park, Peasholm 2 minutes walk and town centre 10 minutes. There is not one negative thing.
• Helen (10/5): Spotlessly clean and very comfortable, great value for money. - The Dolphin guesthouse is just lovely. Very clean and comfortable, had everything we needed. The proprietor Gary is very welcoming and friendly. N/A
• Nigel (9/5): Warm welcoming friendly helpful what more can you ask. - Room was clean and well appointed for the price with a good size ensuite. Breakfast was well cooked hot and good quality. Gary is very friendly and looks after you. Room serviced every day which is above the norm compared to other quest houses. Good value and would return without hesitation. If you paid another £20 plus per night the rooms would be as they say contemporary but that's personal choice. Nothing to complain about but a fruit bowl next to the cereal and different sausage would be a plus.
