The friendliness and helpfulness of the staff was exceptional, from chatting with the bar staff to a chef coming out of the kitchen to explain how a dish I enjoyed was made. Food quality was fantastic, great portion sizes, well presented and tasty. Badger Beer made it even better.

Great option if staying in Devon. A quiet town with lovely locals and beautiful sights. The rooms were exactly as pictured. The staff were really nice with any needs we had. Megan in particular was amazing help each day. In the future I think each room could do with some sort of small mini fridge.

Very convenient hotel in centre of town. Onsite parking, nice big rooms and nice bed. No aircon, but staff went out of their way to provide a fan on request! Good breakfast. Large outside seating area, but unfortunately next to the car park so not very atmospheric. Entertainment provided by lots of seagulls - guard your chips!
