I made a return trip to North Devon on business and thought I'd treat myself and do the same with this Hotel and it's excellent restaurant. Being on a business trip I'd already 'eaten out' twice that day - a 'breakfast meeting' at a multiple with under warm over cooked food and lunch a 'hot buffet style' at a medium... More

My husband and I have recently been to Tyme Restaurant at Timstone Manor to have a three course evening meal to celebrate our anniversary. We booked a table for 8.00pm and headed to the lounge. The waiting staff was absolutely friendly and helpful. We've been given the menu which offered 4 options for each course! We chose delicious duck goujons... More

This place is close to us but we had never been there for dinner. Vegetarian main course option was just a basic pasta bake....not what you want on a night out. So I had veggie spring rolls from the starter menu instead. Salad probably just emptied from a pack of a supermarket leaves....very dull. My husband's steak was well cooked... More

Dear Tiggersuki Thank you for your review though we are so disappointed to receive it, especially as it is the very first review you have left for anyone out of 42 reviews as 1 out of 5 - was the experience really that 'terrible'? You never said anything on the night, nor that it was a birthday (see our reviews... More

Dear DandS Thank you for your review. We think you had a good time with us though the comments are mixed.... We are a Three Star Hotel but are not aiming for Michelin Rosettes - and wouldn't be able to afford to offer a three course meal to you for only about £14 if that's your budget to tempt you... More

Awful experience for a family get together of 9, the poor staff included, unbelievable really! Grey looking fish was served with no sauce aside a grey potato, 6 leather steaks served with a thick dollop of gunge, steak knives appeared eventually but really a chainsaw was necessary. Funeral type music started to play, perhaps to liven up the atmosphere as... More

Why thank you for the review. You were the boorish lot from away who turned-up really late, in dribs and drabs for your booking, brandishing a discount card and thinking you owned the place. We've come across diners like you before and your nouveau riche plastique doesn't impress us. It's funny what you say actually because the same night you... More

Dear Realityracer Many thanks indeed for your review. I am pleased that you were happy with the quality of your meal. I am sorry about the choice restriction but that is because we operate on a daily changing Table d'hote to ensure everything is as freshly prepared as possible as a long menu suggests more use of freezer and microwave....!...
