    The staff could not have been more accommodating. An old Hotel but very tidy and clean. Meals were very nice. Rooms quiet and beds comfortable. Loved having a bath. Shower over bath . Found the location excellent for our stay.

    Nothing that I can think of.

    This place was perfect for our stop off en route to a festival. We met our friends who were in campers and we stayed in the rooms. Staff were friendly and facilities clean. Booked a twin room with a shared bathroom. No issues with that at all. Rooms came with towels, too. Breakfast was included, and it was a feast compared to what I expected. Will be back next year.

    The curtains in the room didn’t keep the lights out in the morning, and we’re pretty old. The Wi-Fi wasn’t great in the room.

    The location was perfect as we were going to a wedding nearby.

    The secondary glazing in our room at the front didn’t shut properly so there was traffic noise in the morning.

    The pub was only 1/2 mile off the coast 2 coast bike route. The beds were very comfortable & there was a secure place to leave 4 bikes overnight. The staff were very accommodating & helpful. The evening meal in the pub was exceptional & the draught beer to be recommended. Coupled with a fantastic breakfast, I’m looking forward to returning.

    Well, as it is located about 5 meters from the main road with intense traffic... If you happen to get a room on the front, you can count cars in stead of sheep.

    Stayed for one night, passing through the area. Room was large enough, clean. Same goes for the bathroom. Comfortable beds. Breakfast was good enough, but not among the top during out trip. There is a restaurant, serving decent meals so that saves you the hassle to go for a place to eat in the evening.

    Nothing to dislike really.

    A very warm and very friendly atmosphere. The food was of a very good standard and served quite quickly. The location was perfect for us, a good central location for the places we planned to visit. Also being on the edge of the moor gave easy access to Dartmoor for walks.

    Poor check in at the bar on a Sunday. No real information given other than handed the key for the room. Had to leave at 0745 to get to a meeting so couldn't get breakfast. Only told as was leaving that we could have ordered a packed meal beforehand.. Desperatley needs an experienced manager to oversee the young, but keen, staff. Suspect it's because it's the low season. Hopefully the service will improve as it gets busier.

    Good location for the moor. Good parking. Friendly staff. Very dog friendly.

    There was nothing we didn't like. The only suggestion would be to have cereal and fruit juice to help yourself to while waiting for the cooked breakfast.

    Breakfast was cooked lovely. The girls behind the bar who served us were all really nice and welcoming.
