The Dolphin Hotel is a historic pub with rooms in a fantastic location on the edge of the beautiful Dartmoor National Park. We are looking for enthusiastic and experienced applicants who will enjoy serving great quality food and drink to a wide variety of local guests, diners and holidaymakers.
The Dolphin Hotel is rich in history and character. Originally owned by John Joll, it was built in the 1880s as a coaching house providing food, drink and rest for travellers and their horses. Excursions to Dartmoor commenced from the hotel and horse drawn carriages would escort guests up to Dartmoor. The striking exterior of the building has changed very little over the years and has always retained a classical Victorian look.
The large upstairs function room has had several uses over the years. In the late 1800s, the dance band 'The Dolphins' entertained there and during the Second World War the room acted as a temporary barracks for American allies who were training nearby. Today, it serves as a fantastic events space, with its own private bar and the space to accommodate up to 100 dining guests.
With 8 en-suite bedrooms, spacious trading areas, an extensive function room and a picturesque patio garden, the Dolphin has great business potential and is an exciting opportunity for the right operator.
