Tired
Not for me. Bit tired and decorated over, noisy on main road, behind a petrol station and adjacent to abondone building lot dark tatty car park . Owner very pleasant but bar/ restaurant closed for re-furbishment. Room small and bathroom needed attention. Shower screen hanging off and difficult to use. Bottle of cheap handwash on sink
Good hotel for the price. Room was clean and had the basics. Only downside it was quite noisy at night being next to a main road. Other than that it was a pleasant stay
Left my watch in the room which they willl have found, rang them as soon as I realised left message and have rang over ten times with no answer. Have reported to police
very disappointing, looks very run down from the outside, photos are obviously from better times. Restaurant shut down and derelict, room clean but basic with lino floor and tiny shower. Only positive was the convenient location from the M5
Our room was really nice - large and spacious with a refurbished bathroom, but there was no food available at all. We did though have a lovely meal at the local pub.
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.
