Beautiful old building in a lovely village.
Pros:

The galley room is an excellent idea if you are light breakfasters as we are ,it is what makes the price of the rooms a bit more acceptable.The use of the front room is also a plus ,especially when meeting friends.Nice toiletries !

Cons:

In the galley room,the bread could have been fresher, some brown sugar and marmalade too ! Another chair in the room ,my partner had to perch on the bed in a dark corner whilst I was able to enjoy my coffee sitting on a chair !

Great room, great facilities, helpful staff and fab location
Pros:

Easy to find, great parking which is at a premium in Topsham. The room was a great size and the storage good. Odd to even have to mention this as every hotel should have this but there was a socket near a mirror for drying hair. The bathroom was super clean and the staff friendly and helpful. They do not have tea/coffee making facilities in the room but they have a kitchen for use by guests fully stocked with nice tea/coffee, breakfast cereals and bread/jam/butter. Such a good idea as at least there was a fridge in there stocked with fresh milk which is so much better than the sachets of milk usually provided. There were bathrobes and a bottle of water on our bedside tables. All in all a great stay.

Cons:

Nothing

The lady cleaner was excellent and most helpful, give her a bonus 🙂

Good place for a one night stay.
Pros:

Nice location, some parking onsite, on arrival one young lady was particularly friendly and helpful. Having a kitchen was a nice touch. Was good for a night but probably wouldnt stay longer

Cons:

no kettle in the bedroom so had to get dressed to make a morning cuppa.

Highly recommend.
Pros:

Great location, this room was very large. Easy instructions for check-in and parking on a Sunday arrival. Bed was VERY comfortable. Love the option to make your own breakfast, fantastic selection of cereals, bread, coffee etc. instead the extra cost of full sit-down breakfast. Area was very quiet and relaxing. HIGHLY recommend a stay here. We WILL be back and hope to try the restaurant downstairs, as it's closed on a Sunday and Monday.

Cons:

Nothing, it was very enjoyable.
