Guter Aufenthalt am Meer in Exmouth
Pros:

Sehr schöne Lobby und Speisesaal, sehr freundliches Personal und guter Parkplatz. Die Betten sind gut und die Zimmer nicht hellhörig.

Cons:

Fernbedienung am Fernseher war kaputt, was aber auch nicht wirklich schlimm ist. Fenster war blind wodurch die Aussicht getrübt war. Aber bei dem Preis ist das absolut ok!

Pleasant stay with elderly mother
Pros:

Breakfast at the hotel was good with a selection of pasties, yoghurt,melon and full English. Helpful and pleasant staff in the dining room

Cons:

It was a shame the usual evening menu was not available due to there being a coach party staying
Access into hotel was difficult for elderly mother as lots of steps and no slope for wheelchair
