Incredible value for a 1 night stop on the way back to London from Cornwall. Even better that on the hottest days in May since 1944, it had air-conditioning... a real blessing!

Location is perfect, there is a garage nearby, access to the A 38 is nearby and it resides in a lovely village. I was made to feel very welcome by Erica and her team who were more than helpful. Twin room had plenty of space and a nice shower with loads of hot water. Kitchen is currently being renovated so cannot comment on catering, for what I wanted it was perfect.

Found it strange no staff really on site only saw 2 and one member of staff seem to cover everything from booking in doing the key to cleaning the rooms, but very pleasant and helpful. The hotel seems to be under refurbishment as the bar and food area was all locked up. Think there is alot of work to be carried out. At first i thought i was the only one staying there. Good hotel for a base to stay

The manager was absolutely lovely explained everything that we needed to know, helped with booking my car in and extended our stay more than once due to having work done at our home. The room was lovely and clean and the house keeper she was lovely and friendly. Would stay again with out a doubt

Clean, tidy and comfortable bed. Erica was very helpful. Car park was not in a good state with pot holes and untidy. No food or drink was not available on site , needs to be more clearer on the booking sites because it was a surprise when i was informed at the hotel.

Not a good first impression as told when I got there that they could only accept cash. It was only luck I had cash on me to pay, but it would have been nice to have been warned beforehand. The lone staff member was very helpful, but there were evident language difficulties. Apart from that room very clean and comfortable.

Great hotel to explore the Devon Area.

A perfect hotel, as a base to explore the local area, or if on route to Cornwall. Certainly value for money, and would use again if I needed to. Though there are very little facilities in the local area (Walking Distance) for families, but ideal for somewhere to sleep after days out.
