Not as good as our previous visit
Pros:

The location is very good and the breakfast outstanding. The staff are very helpful and the beds are very comfortable.

Cons:

Room 2 needs some urgent TLC. This was a second visit and although the view was better than the first stay there are lots of minor repairs needed especially the sliding bathroom door and the wallpaper. In addition on arrival the central heating was not working in the room but this was sorted out fairly quickly.

Pros:

Upon arrival the room was cold, but with a portable radiator it stayed nice all night.
Exceptional location, a public footpath on to Dartmoor starts right behind the inn.
Staff very friendly and helpful.
Nice view from my room.

Cons:

There were a couple of mix ups with my food, I got things I can't eat. Also, I had to wait for a very long time for my toast.
A lot of traffic noise.
I would have liked a walk-in shower.
