Fisherman's Cot, Tiverton by Marston's Inns

Needs some maintenance

⭐☆☆☆☆ Disappointing Stay – Sadly Not the Standard We Expected
Our recent stay at the Fisherman's Cot was extremely disappointing and unfortunately fell well below our expectations.
On arrival, we were told that only a continental breakfast was included and that we would have to pay extra for a cooked breakfast, despite having booked and paid for breakfast for both mornings. This information turned out to be incorrect, but we didn't discover that until our final morning.
The room itself was also a let-down. It had clearly not been cleaned properly, with dead flies on the windowsill, cobwebs in the bathroom and behind the television, and the overall condition of both the room and the building looking tired and poorly maintained. I reported the cleanliness issues and was assured the room would be cleaned again while we were out. On returning later that evening, only the dead flies had been removed; the cobwebs and other issues remained.
Breakfast on the first morning was particularly disappointing. The continental selection was very limited, consisting mainly of toast, croissants, pain au chocolat and basic cereals. The fruit available looked well past its best, and there were no yoghurts or much variety.
The biggest disappointment came on our second evening in the bar. While waiting to be served, I witnessed another customer being told there would be a 45-minute wait for food. She briefly asked her husband whether they wanted to wait and returned within seconds to politely decline. The young barman reacted by saying, "F*** my life," loud enough for everyone nearby to hear, including my six-year-old granddaughter. I found this completely unprofessional and unacceptable. When I challenged his behaviour, the manager, who was standing beside him, said nothing. When I was eventually served, there was no greeting, no courtesy, and no professionalism.
The only real positive from our stay was Lil, who served us on our final morning.

The whole place needs a complete overhaul - it is extremely shabby. I just couldn't believe it

Slightly dilapidated

Rooms a bit basic for price

The place is very tired. The room was not the cleanest and the fittings all in need of replacement.

Not enough staff, to support bar and restaurant so you did have to wait alot and public toilets were not pleasant.

Very tired, felt like it had not been maintained in years

The service was quite slow in the evening and limited at breakfast albeit friendly

The food in the pub wasnt to our taste

Pictures make the waterfront look larger than it is .
Outside seating could do with cushions

The accommodation is pretty tired and run down. We had to report a wasp nest over the patio door, and there was a rodent scratching in the wall at around 4:30am. There was no TV remote, although the team tried hard to resolve this. The room was booked for 2, but only one towel was left in the room.

Waited at the bar to long and steak was very fatty

Everything

Room was clean but did have some maintenance issues, particularly the bathroom in which had lots of water damage and some mould issues.
