Guest Reviews

Fantastic everything! If I could give the Black Dolphin Inn a 10 star review, I would! We were greeted by Brett who was very kind and welcoming. Our room was spotless and so comfortable. We travel with our dog and she was welcomed in a very sweet way by all of the staff. The breakfast choices changed daily and each one was served on time in our room and...See More

The attention to detail is absolutely amazing. From the moment we walked in to the beautiful lobby we knew we had made the right choice. The staff is welcoming and very knowledgeable about the surrounding area. I looked forward to breakfast every morning, & enjoyed talking with the chefs working there. Our room was large, clean, and extremely comfortable. Can’t wait for out next stay at the Black Dolphin!

- Heather Uhlik

Such a great B&B!!! The staff were super friendly at check in and throughout the stay. The rooms were comfortable and well appointed. Great location on the bay in a residential neighborhood. Everything is within a 15 min drive. I would stay here again for sure

- Dave Cope

Fantastic people, location, and rooms. This is our second stay here and it was just as fabulous as the first; highly recommend. Jennifer stayed late to greet us on our arrival and was a wonderful host throughout. Very thankful for our little staycation - a visit to the Black Dolphin was just what we needed ;)

- Team Whitehurst

We loved this inn. Lovely and super helpful people who own and work here. The quality of our room was impressive and we loved the balcony in our room with view of the sea. Breakfast was a daily highlight. Highly recommend.
