Reviews and Ratings
I had a wonderful experience at this hotel. The rooms were spacious and very clean, perfect for our stay with our dogs. The service was top-notch, with a very welcoming and engaging staff. The location was great for those seeking quality accommodation and delicious food. The dining options were a delight, especially the full English breakfast. Overall, a fantastic stay with just a few minor downsides.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of lovely and noisy experiences. The rooms were nice, relaxing, and spacious, with thoughtful details like hot chocolate and a comfy bed. However, being positioned at the front of the property made it a bit noisy due to traffic. The setting of this old place was charming, and the breakfast was very good.
My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The rooms were spotless, spacious, and very economical, although a bit gloomy. The service was top-notch, with friendly and helpful staff. The location was a mixed bag, not exactly as expected, but sitting on the coastal path. The dining experience was perfect, with beautifully cooked meals served cheerfully. Overall, a great value for the money.
The hotel had its ups and downs. The room, although warm, clean, and quiet, overlooked the main road, resulting in a noisy morning with passing trucks. The service was excellent, with friendly staff who tried their best to make up for any issues. The location, though on a slope and typical of old homes in the area, was welcoming, especially thanks to Anna, a great waitress. The dining experience was exceptional with a variety to choose from. Overall, a lovely stay but with some noise disturbances and minor flaws to consider.
I had a wonderful time at this charming inn. The rooms exuded old-world charm at the front of the inn, and I really enjoyed the space and quirky nature it offered. The service was top-notch with super-friendly and helpful staff, even if I quibbled for more tea and biscuits. The location was superb, providing easy access to both the south and north coasts of Devon. The dining experience was exceptional with delicious options, although maybe a bit dry at times. Overall, a cozy and pleasant stay with a few minor hiccups.
