Just returned from a Travelzoo break in Devon. This is a three star hotel and delivers a three star experience. It promises to do better but doesn't deliver. On the positive side, the staff are friendly, likeable and enthusiastic. However, our room was tired with a 1960s artexed ceiling, plastic flowers and tasteless decor.The bathroom was better but let down... More

Thank you for your review. We always try to take constructive points to improve upon when receiving criticism but feel perhaps our hotel was not really to your taste in this instance and I am sorry it did not live up to expectations. The decor is country style with antique furniture so sorry if you found it dated. Our food... More

My wife and I went for a 2 night deal last week. Very impressed. Nice room, great bar & restaurant, attractive grounds, pleasant and efficient staff and excellent breakfasts! Would certainly recommend and very dog friendly, although in an unobtrusive way for those not keen on pets. Many thanks.

We went for a wedding. The lounge area was comfortable, real log fires would have been nicer than gas & electric but nice all the same. The actual wedding was beautiful, & that was great. The food was pleasant . Our room was quite small & outdated but clean & everything you needed was there. We feel that the rooms... More

Thank you for your comments and I am glad you enjoyed the wedding. I imagine it can seem expensive sometimes to stay very close to where you live for just a single night and not really get a chance to partake in the full range of services we offer. However, I am confident that mostly our customers find our hotel... More

I made a telephone booking for three rooms for a family celebration. During the telephone conversation, the owner of the hotel, Nick, offered to put us in three rooms together, which I thought was nice. I was therefore disappointed on arrival at the hotel that although my brother and his wife were next door to my parents, my husband and... More

Long cold journey North. Srumbled upon this place. Log fires, hot soup crusty rolls and fresh butter. We decided to stay and relax. Dinner was also hearty. Lots of local people use this place which is a good sign. We travelled onward to Barnstaple the next day very refreshed.

My wife and I stayed here for a weekend in early October. Nice room overlooking the rear garden though bathroom was a little tired. Breakfast was fine and the food in the restaurant was very nice.
