The main thing to be said about our stay at the poltimore is that the staff really couldnt do enough for you. So attentive and lovely. The room was clean, spacious and had a stunning view of the countryside. The water sometimes ran brown, but this is probably the only negative comment to be said. Food has always been very nice here. We happily stay here again.

Biker friendly site

Friendly check in and we were allowed to take our motorcycles down to the pods so that they were secure. Good food and spotlessly clean accommodation. Biker friendly site.

Another great stay - recommended

Lovely spot to stay in within easy striking distance of Barnstaple and North Devon and the coast. Beautiful part of the country with plenty to discover The pods are well maintained and very comfy. Fabulous large bed. Our dog loves lying out on the little balcony overlooking the balcony Staff were all friendly & helpful. Cooked breakfast was very good with locally soiurced produce. Nice strong coffee in tap with other buffet options. Good menu available for evening meals at reasonable rates and good selection of drinks at the bar

The most comfortable bed ever! It felt very hard but gave both of us the best night's sleep for a long time as it was easy to roll and move on. Friendly, helpful staff. Excellent breakfast. Only snag was that the pods were at the bottom of a very steep slope which was a challenging walk for someone with restricted mobility, but we managed. Would definitely stay there again and recommend it heartily. Good value.
