Dolphin House was built around 1700 in the local Bath stone and is listed as a Grade 2 building of historic interest. It has a walled garden laid out in the Italianate style with statues, a stone gazebo, Gothic folly and water features. Guests are welcome to sit in the garden or on the terrace. The guest rooms are decorated and furnished in period style with a Georgian/ Jane Austen theme. Breakfast can be served on the terrace in summer time or in the orangery unless the weather is particularly cold when it's served in your room. The Jane Austen suite has a small flight of stairs up to the bathroom which may not be suitable for those guests with mobility issues. This bathroom although large in area has a maximum height of 185cms owing to the age of the building. It has a walk in shower.
