Passar bra för en övernattning vid genomfart.
Pros:

Trevlig personal

Cons:

Tyvärr heltäckningsmatta som gör att det inte luktar så gott. Väldigt mjuk madrass.

A pleasant place to stay with very helpful staff
Pros:

Staff very helpful. Happy to store bikes. Curry evening food was excellent.
My husband injured himself just before arriving They contacted Richard who was ex paramedic. He did a fantastic job We also had to leave luggage unexpectedly to be collected. It was not a problem and it was handed over to the courier after we left.

Cons:

It was during the hottest June day and the room was very hot. A fan would have helped however we didn’t ask for one

Empfehlenswert
Pros:

Das alte Haus liegt sehr zentral im Ort in unmittelbarer Nachbarschaft von Geschäften und einem sehr gut sortierten Supermarkt. Die Bettwäsche, die Handtücher, die Pflegeprodukte, die Auswahl an Kaffees und Tees im Zimmer sind außergewöhnlich hochwertig. Das Frühstück hat uns absolut überrascht, hier gibt es ausschließlich Produkte der allerbesten Qualität. Und das kombiniert mit der unglaublichen Freundlichkeit der Besitzer. Unsere Fahrräder standen sicher in einem nicht benutzen Teil des Hauses.
Vielen herzlichen Dank für diesen schönen Aufenthalt.

Cons:

Für mobilitätseingeschränkte Personen dürfte es schwierig werden. Die Treppen sind eng und steil.

Very old fashioned rambling hotel with lovely welcome
Pros:

We had booked a premium room and it was OK. Generous size, good mattress, dreadful pillow and suboptimal shower in that it was tricky to get your head under it.

Cons:

Very poor quality pillows and shower too low and not adjustable enough to get your head under without ducking

A shame!
Pros:

Great location right in the heart of dulverton.

Cons:

The hotel is very dated and needs some TLC. Our ceiling actually looked as though it was going to cave in from the damp issue or water leak they clearly have had before.
The bar closes at 3pm on a Sunday but yet you can’t check in til 3.30pm?! This doesn’t make sense to me. £99 I personally think for one night is too much for what we had and I wouldn’t pay it again.
