Stayed there in February. Perfect location, close to the centre. There are two car parks, the first one, near the hotel, is often full. In this case you have to climb a little bit to the second one. Rooms are OK, but part of the equipment is somewhat dated. This applies particularly to the windows and toilet. Bed was absolutely... More

We loved this hotel and will be going back. Good food. Friendly staff. Nice room with view. Very clean and good decor. BUT. The plumbing lets it down.

Buffet lunch on a Sunday gave a good selection of basic traditional food, well cooked and presented. Comfortable, slightly old fashioned restaurant with unobtrusive but attentive staff. Good value for money.

We went for Sunday lunch quite later on around 13,45 but still an excellent choice of meats and vegetables. The meats were so tender and plentiful, lovely choice of vegetables. You can have just the main course or 2 courses with a choice of sweet and you are spoilt for choice with the puddings! Well worth the current price of... More

On arrival, are room was upgraded which was very much appreciated and we felt that the hotel was quite welcoming. The hotel grade is 3 star and you get everything you expect for this rating. The rooms are slightly dated but in the style of the hotel, certainly nothing to complain about. We attended a function at the hotel during... More

The hotel has much to be proud of. The rooms were very clean and well appointed. The views of the river were lovely and there are many great places to eat in Bideford. We used the hotel as a base to travel the north Devon and Cornwall coast. A couple of things that people need to be aware of: Firstly... More
