The place is OK as a base which we used it for whilst we were in the area. The food was nice with the added beneit of a Gluten free menu and they do have separate prep areas for food. Rooms nice, although a little dated and some need a little attention in places. Reasonably priced for both food and drink, service can be a little slow at times. Bar area gets busy we tended to sit in the restaurant area as it was more quieter. Breakfasts tasty, good selection of food and hot food if you want it too. Outside is a little tired and garden could do with a bit of attention - overal was an OK stay.

A perfect Hotel

The hotel was a joy to stay at. The staff are fabulous and Nicole at breakfast was so lovely. The food was really good and would recommend the Argento rose as a perfect end to the day. The bar staff would look after an open bottle for us in the fridge. The rooms were so comfortable and the bathroom was perfect and clean. I am definitely coming back on my next visit to Dartmoor. Thank you to all the staff for creating a welcoming hotel.

The staff were lovely, very attentive and friendly. It was really busy when we arrived and had we wanted a table in the restaurant we wouldn't have got one, they did fit us in for dinner. It might be sensible to book a table at the same time as booking the room next time, but it was a very pleasant place to stay. Everything you needed was there. Most of all though, it's the staff that made it such a lovely place to stay. Thank you!

Not impressed

The walls were paper thin. The road noise was loud. There were quite a few dogs even though your overview said pets weren’t allowed. They need to improve the lighting to the overflow car park. The staff were really friendly though.

Friendly staff

Staff were very friendly and welcoming from point of entry to leaving. Room wise, the bed was lumpy and room too hot, despite turning down the radiator. We were in a room facing the road, wish I'd brought my earplugs with me. I'm a light sleeper so the road noise unfortunately kept me awake.

First room I was put had broken bath with hand scrawled note informing me, I assumed they were full that’s why I got a broken bath as that all that was available checked and they had 6 rooms available. The manager was excellent moved me to room with working bath but the room was in tired state damage all over the place and I discovered not entirely clean bloody finger print on the wall above the toilet and blood on the carpets outside the bathroom, clearly not been cleaned with any detail. Evening staff were wonderful food was ok standard fare nothing to write home about breakfast was good but morning staff apart from the cleaner who was friendly was lacking asked for printed bill guy just handed it to me said have a good day and walked off didn’t ask about the stay or anything. Bed and pillows were bit poor in the second room but passable slept on worse so overall not the worst but could do better and everything needs some attention as it’s looking tired or damaged some investment is needed like there is big water stain from a leak as you walk up the main stairs paintwork is all damaged or mucky it’s not a good look and wouldn’t take a massive amount of money to repaint and tidy up.

I booked at the last minute via Expedia and selected the breakfast option. Slightly cheaper than the "official" Greene King site. Fantastic greeting by staff - the checking in procedure was very slick. The room was clean (two single beds - I only needed one). Bathroom had recently been refurbished. Shower was great (Grohe fittings - classy!). Bed was comfy. Tea/coffee making facilities great. Dined that evening in the restaurant, it was very quiet but I was attended very well and the steak and chips were delicious. Breakfast menu was very good and the full English was excellent. Plenty of other options too, exactly what you would hope and expect. The view from the roof mounted (velux style) window onto the river was excellent but my only gripe was the road noise. I think the window (room number 11) needs a refurb, although it's not misted, to enhance the noise insulation from traffic. If I was staying again and I'd certainly choose to then I'd ask for a room that faced out towards the rear of the property.

We returned here to enjoy their Thursday night steak night (which was enjoyed during a previous stay) but even though it showed online, it had been taken off the menu. Had a boring dry burger instead. To be fair when I said it was, they took it off the bill. Our room was like sleeping in a boiler room...it was sooo hot even with fan on and window open. We asked about it but just told to turn down rads. They were off but underfloor we could feel pipes heating so an uncomfortable sleepless night was had. Ask for room 11 if you're the cold sort! Could due with touching up much of the paintwork around the room and many doors. Later discovered an extra £10 charged to my bill. I knew from a previous stay that there is £10 charge for dogs which we did have, but no one said they were adding that on if that's what it was for. I didn't think that was legal to add without saying to customer what it was for. I didn't see it until I arrived home so didn't say anything. Staff are friendly and helpful if asked but this stay had too many little things wrong. Won't hurry back but will give it another try in due time as our first stay was nice.

Check in was good. Shown to stairs to get to the room. Breakfast layout was explained and asked if we'd book a table for dinner. Room was at front of property facing busy road(noisy). Room ok for a 1 night stay. Food was ok but a bit rushed for some reason as not busy. Breakfast quantity very good. Overall a pleasant stay. Think the property could do with a spruce up.

The staff were excellent hosts and assisted us with in person enquiries but a couple of emails i sent prior to check in went unanswered. Yes, room 12 we stayed in was rather noisey ( even at night )being on the main road side but earplugs were provided. I don't know what the other rooms are like. I did manage to fall asleep till about 4.30am. The floors boards in the room and just outside in the corridor creaked and felt unstable when walked on. The bathroom was a little on the small side but it was adequate and spotless. The mattresses have springs and gave us both sore backs in the mornings. The pillows are rather flat. The walk to the number 88 bus stop takes about 20 minutes and is rather precarious taking you over a motorway and slip road. The other option would have been a cab which apparently is not advisable due to a number of reasons. The food we had at dinner and for breakfast was good and the servers were really nice. The room temperature was just about right ( we were there in March) with the radiator not on. I am not sure if it would be so in the middle of summer. It is walkable to Buckfast abbey, be it a longish, rather precarious one as mentioned above.
