Unfortunately there was no shower in my ensuite and I was too fussy to use the shared shower, also it was too noisy for me as I was working long shifts so I had to cancel after the first night. However the pub downstairs looked really busy and welcoming & the staff were absolutely fantastic.

Its an old thatched pub and the room shape and conditions reflect that - sloping floors and wonky walls but the bedding , towels etc were clean and fresh. Rooms are above the bar so not quiet until the pub closes. Pub downstairs is friendly and has a good atmosphere with plenty of choice behind the bar. They serve food but I didn't try any so can't comment on that. Reasonably large attached car park although theres no covered area or anything to chain a motorcycle to.

Parking was good. On arrival my booking had changed, the staff were more than welcoming and accommodating of my needs and could not have been more helpful. Bed comfortable. Dogs allowed which was a bonus to me. Shower in room but only had a curtain as access and no toilet in room. Room had been changed to accommodate other needs so no complaints. Lovely food in the pub.

Room in an old country inn. Room fairly basic but fine for a night or two. Close enough to Exeter to be accessible. Staff very helpful and knowledgeable about the area. Would stay again if in the area.

Kindness

This stopover stay was made perfect by the kindness and friendliness of the member of staff who, on learning that I was going to be late, said they would stay behind and wait until I had arrived. They were so polite and hospitable.
