Would go back at the drop of a hat!
Pros:

The whole experience was wonderful - the people were great, friendly, efficient and helpful, the food was fabulous, and everything was designed for comfort and enjoyment.

Cons:

The very narrow street to get to the car park! Part and parcel of a quaint and historic town though, so not their fault!

Pros:

The location. The friendly staff.

Cons:

We stayed in the flat. I don't really think it is very suitable to let as part of the accommodation (we have stayed previously in the hotel)
It was extremely cold at night. Somewhat dark and the bathroom wasn't really up to it.

GREAT PLACE TO STAY IN A GREAT TOWN. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
Pros:

Lovely old Inn that has been transformed into a great place to stay, eat and drink. Excellent staff (special mention to the Ewan Mcgregor look a like!). Amelia, one of the owners, was so friendly and helpful too.
Our room was well laid out and the bed was very comfortable, cooking facilities were well equipped too.
We ate in the restaurant one night and it was very good food.. Would definitely stay again.

Cons:

NOTHING!

A charming inn in a charming town
Pros:

Friendly attentive member of staff, junior suite was ready when we arrived so he checked us in early and showed us to our large and airy room. Massive comfy bed - super king - could have slept 4 people in it! Quality linens, towels, toiletries, a fridge - even bathrobes available. Hot and powerful shower; we didn't use the bath. Room serviced daily and towels etc replaced. We had coffee making facilities in our room but there was also a shared kitchen where you could make toast with homemade jam, cereals etc. Useful to have car parking available which is hard to come by in Topsham. Location was central and the inn is absolutely charming.

Cons:

That we couldn't stay longer to sample the food; it looked amazing and the dining room was always busy but we were visiting relatives so didn't get the opportunity to eat there. Next time!
