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!

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

We would stay in a larger room.
Pros:

Quiet, nice galley kitchen and friendly helpful staff
The lady cleaner was excellent and most helpful, give her a bonus 🙂

Cons:

We visited on a Tuesday in Winter so no evening meal available, shame but understandable.
