The bathroom has not been touched since the 1970's , take a look at photos . The hot tap was dripping constantly and when we turned hot tap on to have a bath the water came out like mud . We stayed there as part of a wedding group and the room was booked for us by the bride so... More

Not a bad place to stay for a night or two but wouldn't fancy spending longer there. The bar and food on site was excellent and couldn't fault it. Our room was quite near a busy main road so it was quite noisy at night plus the window was faulty and wouldn't close shut.

Visited in March 2013 with family - 10 of us in total - about 4.30/5ish on a weekday for a birthday celebration. The place was much busier than we expected for that time of day. All ended up having a carvery. I'm not a fan of carveries at the best of times as don't like the idea of food sitting... More

The rooms and public areas of the hotel are dated and could do with renovating. However this is made up for by the excellent value for money - £40 - for a double room with breakfast. The staff were helpful and friendly. The quality of the food was excellent. Unfortunately the radiator in our room was hot and we could... More

You get what you pay for. Reception had to be called by phone, but they had to collect their own cup of tea from the kitchen. Room is tired and needs renovating. I stayed in it 4 years ago and it has not been done since then. Hot tap did not work, and no chair or stool for wife to... More

If you want a meal in an average, dated pub, coupled with an unhelpful waitress who was not keen to have us seated where WE wanted with space and light to cater for a disabled member, then you that's what you get here. Lacking in atmosphere and cleanliness. However the chef was cheerful and the food was fine but the... More

Stayed for 2 nights whilst visiting a friend in Exeter. Picked this B&B for the location and that it has the carvery on site. Bathroom needs re-furb asap and a good clean! The mix and match tiles had orange grout where it had consistently not been cleaned. Mix and match colours of the bathroom suite too, think I had turquoise,... More

Plenty of different meats to choose from (And a few Veggie alternatives which my son says was very nice) and stacks of nice looking,not overcooked veg. Several different gravies including Vegetarian and Gluten free. They will even plate up carvery seperately for you... More
