The gentleman who checked us in was nice, though it seems he may have been the only member of staff at the hotel as he mentioned working housekeeping duties too? The restaurant was closed for refurbishment so we walked round to the hotel next door for food. The rooms were noisy, we could hear a fellow guest snoring through the wall.

Good stay and location, potential to be better.

The stay was perfectly fine, and the staff were friendly. Hotel is in need of some TLC or investment however. The restaurant and bar area is currently closed, and when we were there, there was minimal staff. Has a lot of potential to be a great place for accessing the rest of Devon area.

Weekend trip!

It was brilliant, it all looked very modern and clean and I really enjoyed myself. Only thing was our double bed was two single beds pushed together and if you were anywhere near the middle it was very easy for the beds to slide apart which left a slightly uncomfortable gap in the middle but I’m sure this could’ve been resolved had I specified I wanted just one double bed but overall I had a great time!

There was no food available which was inconvenient but mainly there was no bar !!! Or rather there was a bar but it wasn’t open. We weren’t made aware of this at the time of booking & it was a massive inconvenience. We were using the hotel as a base to travel far & wide revisiting some of the places we went on honeymoon thirty four years ago as it was our anniversary week. After each day travelling it would have been nice get back to the hotel & relax with a few drinks. As it was we had to settle for buying alcohol locally & having it in our room so as not to drink & drive. Hardly romantic. Our room was a good size & everything was clean & tidy. The location & views leave a little to be desired but the main issue was not to be forewarned that there was no functioning bar. That was unforgivable.

Room was ok. Cleaning not good. No food or drink facilities. Didn't listen to my phone request for a downstairs room due to my disabilities. Wouldn't let me charge car overnight as it is a Rapid charger. Charging a good price but if you go over an hour you are charged an extra £4 - this is wavered if uou are staying at the hotel
