Great hotel to explore the Devon Area.

A perfect hotel, as a base to explore the local area, or if on route to Cornwall. Certainly value for money, and would use again if I needed to. Though there are very little facilities in the local area (Walking Distance) for families, but ideal for somewhere to sleep after days out.

It was spotlessly clean and the owner more than helpful. It is a shame that there is no restaurant on site at present but the meal at the hotel a short walk away was fine.

Good stay and location, potential to be better.

The stay was perfectly fine, and the staff were friendly. Hotel is in need of some TLC or investment however. The restaurant and bar area is currently closed, and when we were there, there was minimal staff. Has a lot of potential to be a great place for accessing the rest of Devon area.

Very pleasant hotel.

Very pleasant hotel , rooms clean and comfortable, good service from hotel staff. Only downside, window was ceiling window with blind so no natural light . Unfortunately bar and restaurant not open due to outside company not turning up. Nice pub serving food about a 10 minute walk . Would stay again.

Room was ok. Cleaning not good. No food or drink facilities. Didn't listen to my phone request for a downstairs room due to my disabilities. Wouldn't let me charge car overnight as it is a Rapid charger. Charging a good price but if you go over an hour you are charged an extra £4 - this is wavered if uou are staying at the hotel

Tired

Not for me. Bit tired and decorated over, noisy on main road, behind a petrol station and adjacent to abondone building lot dark tatty car park . Owner very pleasant but bar/ restaurant closed for re-furbishment. Room small and bathroom needed attention. Shower screen hanging off and difficult to use. Bottle of cheap handwash on sink

Karen

Disliked: Amenities
The property itself is nicely renovated and staff were friendly. We were however disappointed that the bar was closed for refurbishment and then breakfast wasn’t available as the chef was off sick - surely a continental breakfast could have been an option. None of this was conveyed to us prior to arrival. The hotel is located away from any other amenities so we couldn’t even slip out and get food.
