A friendly welcome

The team was incredibly welcoming, and looked after me well. I had a lovely evening meal, and they were kind enough to do an early breakfast for me, as I was doing a long-distance walk and needed to make the most of daylight hours. The room was quite compact, and it is clearly an older building, but was comfy enough for me. The bathroom was compact, but certainly not cramped.

The most unhygienic hotel I’ve ever stayed in. Arrived around lunchtime and ordered some food in the pub. Upon sitting down we noticed food scraps all over the floor, the table was filthy and the wall behind the booth was covered in mould. We couldn’t lean back as we would have got mould in our hair/on our clothes. The staff were friendly and were able to get us into our room well ahead of check-in time but unfortunately the cleanliness of the hotel completely overshadowed the whole experience. The rooms were a decent size but everything was so old - the sheets, towels and pillows looked about 10 years old. I actually couldn’t bring myself to sleep under the sheets and slept with my coat over me. There was mould in the shower and spiders. The room got quite cold at night so I left the plug-in heater running for an hour or so before falling asleep. I woke up to a spark from the heater and realised it had died. It was a great location for what we were doing in Devon but would never stay there again. I heard of friends of friends who actually couldn’t do another night at the hotel and went back to London early.

Staying over between jobs in Bideford and Plymouth; really lovely, comfortable and clean room - lovely old building, and a beautiful bedroom. Full English breakfast cooked perfectly, orange juice, fresh coffee ('proper' coffee, not the quick granular stuff) and plenty of cereal to choose from. Will be booking here again both for work AND if and when I come to Devon for a break. Really lovely staff.

Disappointing

The hotel was very short-staffed and it showed. The manager/owner was very friendly but run off his feet as he had to do everything. The room was unclean, no hot water in the room and as it was a weekend no plumber was available, and poor choice of cereals at breakfast.

I understand it’s been an hard year for all, but it’s no excuse for not doing some well needed updating. The room was so outdated, dusty and cobwebs everywhere , Stains on the sheets and the constant smell of damp. I was disappointed because it was an overnight surprise for the girlfriend, close to the road but I knew this when I booked up, who was in charge, the grey haired lady from behind the bar or the chef, the food was ok. The West Country inn is tired inside and out, with so much potential the place could be fabulous, shame.
