The friendliness and helpfulness of the staff was exceptional, from chatting with the bar staff to a chef coming out of the kitchen to explain how a dish I enjoyed was made. Food quality was fantastic, great portion sizes, well presented and tasty. Badger Beer made it even better.

Just an all round relaxing comfortable stay. The only slight negative which is not the hotels fault is that it seems that some guests, once they have their room, have little regard for others that are staying i.e.coming in late (fair enough) being loud, banging about and slamming doors (not so)

Staff were very friendly & helpful on arrival and the on site parking was convenient. Room was nice but very small which wasn’t comfortable in the heatwave. A better fan might have helped but we were cramped in the room. Breakfast was very good and nice bar for evening drinks. Location was great for a short walk to Beer beach

Great option if staying in Devon. A quiet town with lovely locals and beautiful sights. The rooms were exactly as pictured. The staff were really nice with any needs we had. Megan in particular was amazing help each day. In the future I think each room could do with some sort of small mini fridge.

Lovely central hotel. Room was extremely hot although we had a fan in the room. It would have been good to have a chair or sofa in the room so we didn’t have to sit on the bed. The room was very large so there would have been plenty of room. We did however enjoy our stay and would consider returning if we are in the area again
