The staff were friendly and helpful but the bedroom was very dated and musty. The separate toilet did not smell good at all. For £150 for the night we expected much better.

Last Minute Book

We had to book this last hotel last minute due to other property we had booked seeming to be a scam so was looking for anywhere close to stay as already in the area. Hotel is very dated but the staff were very friendly. The room was at the front so very noisy with traffic and as the day was hot had to have all the windows open but the room was also so hot with underfloor heating on in the bathroom and the radiators which could not be turned off. Breakfast was good and again waiting staff very friendly. Hotel just needs a good revamp and the heating situation really does need attention.

Don't book this hotel. Simply the worst I've seen.

We did not stay the hotel is in poor state Did not look good as we pulled up. Going in to the foyer we were dubious but did check in as been on the road for over 5 hours. However we did not put are bags down. The bedding was stained the pillows thin and lumpy. The bath tub had rust in the bottom. The room was smelt like an old train carraige. No upgrade in the 50 years since it was built. We checked straight back out and have requested a refund. I would have been upset to pay £50 per night but it is laughable to charge double. We had to continue our journey to Barnstable to an outstanding hotel called the Park Hotel. Chalk and Cheese is the phrase.

Meh…

Hotel was very dated and not very appealing as we drove up. Had to wait a while to get checked in. Room was clean but dated. The bed had a very loud squeak and the mattress was higher in the middle than the edges and needed propping up with pillows. Breakfast was okay, but all so dated again.

An ok stay

Overall experience was ok. I had breakfast included which was not available at the time stated, being on a business trip I could not wait for breakfast to finally open so had to leave for work. The hotel was pleasant but does need to be updated as was old tired and drab. Dinner was excellent.

Nice hotel, with nicely decorated rooms. I traveled with 8 other people and we all had breakfast at different times and all of the bacon was hard and dry, also the toaster is the slowest in the World and you have to put your bread in 4 times before it browns, but that is my only moan - apart from that a very positive experience and I would stay again.
