    Shower was too small. We would have loked a few more hangers or drawers for clothes as we stayed for a week.

    Very good breakfast. Mostly quiet location except when it got hot and we had to open windows and hear the industrial premises!

    charged full price for breakfast but one of us only had cereal and toast would have expected a discount, main meal of fish & chips very good, ask for a small portion but they were not able to do this.

    Very clean. Made very welcome. Food very good. Plenty of parking.

    The Barn Owl is the best hotel, we had on our trip through the UK. Located at the border to Dartmoor, a gently refurbished inn, a quiet garden, enough parking spaces, a excellent kitchen with freshly made food and extraordinary well cooked vegetables. The breakfast was extraordinary, too. And the owner and the staff were very pleasant. Wenn we come back to this part of UK, we will stay here again.

    N/A I was worried as I drive a 3.5tonne MAN Maxiloader van about trying to find somewhere to park as it can be difficult at supermarkets etc but the pub had plenty of room

    Property exceeded expectations. Staff were extremely welcoming, wished I’d ate at the pub as the food looked amazing and I had a really comfortable, undisturbed nights sleep.

    Very good stay for a local wedding. Room was immaculate. Nice touches like bottled water. As stated on the description pub is closed on Mondays when we checked in. Had a bit of a panic as didn't know how to get out and back in again after check-in. Figured it out tho! Could have been explained on arrival tho.

    Nothing, I couldn’t fault it. Some might want a safe and possibly a mini-fridge in the room however, we didn’t need either and appreciated the peace and quiet above the noise of a fridge.

    Efficient, polite, and friendly staff. Everywhere is very clean and beautifully presented. Fantastic breakfast, the best ever in a B&B. I really liked the motion activated bathroom ‘night light’ great for if you need to use the bathroom in the middle of the night. I felt instantly relaxed and we had a wonderful few days, we will definitely return. The hosts were really helpful and accommodating.

    except for the vegan sausages at breakfast - maybe you can try another variety. The skins were so tough my knife could not cut them!
