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

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.

The staff were helpful and friendly but we were initially put in a standard twin when we had booked a deluxe double this was resolved quickly. The room was comfortable and clean but was very tired and there was no hot water. Additionally we weren't informed until we arrived that the on site restaurant and bar were closed for refurbishment, unfortunatly we can't reccomend it and won't be staying again.

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.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Room was clean and the bed was firm but comfortable. Not many staff around but were on hand when there was a problem with the room key (it worked the first time going into the room and then not the second time and our key wasn’t the only one - so double check it’ll let you in more than once!) Car park looked a bit like a building site. Looks like they are maybe doing some renovation? No bar or restaurant, but you’re close to Exeter and other eateries. It was good for the price! If you want somewhere cheap, comfortable and clean to sleep close to Exeter.
