"We spent three nights here in what was a late booking for a break. We were very pleased that we did. The hotel is full of character and the staff all very friendly and accommodating. Our room was big and the bed very comfortable. The food was very good with a good selection continental breakfast available as well as several other choices including English breakfast. The evening menu provided us with good choices too. Parking was available. A small car park for about 12-15 cars opposite the hotel. There was also an "overflow" available which was left at the hotel up the hill. They also had a quiet room on the first floor for relaxation purposes should you felt you needed somewhere else to go other than your room. In conclusion we would have no hesitation at all about staying there again. Lovely."

"Stayed for one night en route to a North Devon holiday. The room was excellent, spacious, clean and well laid out. A very comfy bed meant a good night's sleep. Bathroom even had a bath. We ate in the restaurant in the evening and had a very good meal. Breakfast was also excellent with a great choice all freshly cooked. Plenty of easy parking and outdoor space. Definitely worth staying and would do so again."
