Dog friendly & very pleasant establishment

Very friendly staff throughout and made a fuss of our dog. Excellent dinner & breakfast Wonderful outside dining/drinking area. Good location less than an hour from Plymouth docks. The basic room was as described and next time will upgrade for more comfort and space.

Property was fine. Staff were not as good as expected. I asked for omelette in the morning, the answer was No we can’t make you one. We asked for veg sausages , it arrived after 30 mins. The first night I asked for heating in the room as it was so cold, the lady wasn’t impress with the heating she had to provide. Nobody asked us how our stay was, food and overall general conversation. We felt really left out as an Asian family.

A good, safe stay

The reception staff were friendly and efficient. The room was spacious, though one of the single beds had an uncomfortable mattress. Very generous coffee, tea and milk supplies, which were replenished. Couldn't open our windows the second morning, as, being on the ground floor and near an exit/entrance for linen collection, obstacles had been placed against. Overall, it satisfied our needs and was a reasonable lodge for the price.

Good value for money, clean and quite comfortable. Expected a double bed but got twin beds and in the family room a very small tv but overall a good experience. We had a very nice dinner.

There was a power cut in the area when I arrived. The power wasn't restored until 1030pm. Not the hotels fault but paying £95 to sit in a darkened room with no electricity is a bit much.

This was ideal for my needs. I have two dogs so needed a dog-friendly hotel, rather than a luxury one. Reception staff were very helpful, warm and friendly. My room was very clean and comfortable and had everything I needed.
