A spacious room in the heart of Dulverton ….. with excellent food
Pros:

Really good sized room for us and our two dogs. The room could do with a coat of paint and a bit of tlc but it was spacious, a really comfy bed with lovely linen, the bathroom was gleaming, nice fluffy towels. We ate in the restaurant one night, the food was very reasonably priced and excellent ingredients. Breakfast was just as good - all good quality items. All the staff were extremely friendly. Location fabulous.

Cons:

Very picky but a brighter more welcoming lounge area when you walk in would be nice, it was quite dark and didn’t look as though it was open to start with ….. but that’s just my personal preference - we really enjoyed our stay.

Lovely stay when in the area
Pros:

Lovely service.
Comfortable and spacious rooms.
Good food (both dinner and breakfast)

Very slow wifi (basically unusable, I had to hotspot from my phone)
There was a really loud pump behind the toilet that would just start throughout the night.

Good Hotel
Pros:

Centre of village location. Friendly, helpful staff. Breakfast tables laid out correctly, not the "Help yourself and the cutlery is over there" attitude.

Cons:

Creaky floorboards! I didn't read the advert correctly so the cold shower came as a surprise but the bath was nice and hot.

Location/ venue very good future forward planning for unforseen circumstances poor
Pros:

Location very good & convenient for exploring Exmoor & Dunster Show. Fortunate to get one of the 3 parking spaces outside the hotel-having dogs does mean you have extra baggage etc. Our welcome was by a very jolly lady.

Cons:

Unfortunately we were informed on arrival that the Chef was unwell & no meals available that evening however there were many eating places close by. I had been informed on booking that they did not cater for Lactose intolerance-I agreed to bring my own no problems. Breakfast was entirely mis-managed which appeared not to have been forward planned. There were many guests & a printed menu on each table would have speeded up the process, also self-service of cereals etc. (usually the norm)-choice was limited corn flakes/granola. Fresh fruit limited to a few slices of banana or apple. My toast never arr-my friend who opted for poached egg on toast commented that the toast was 'soggy'. Another guest handled the coffee percolator to other guests-otherwise fill-ups would not have likely happened. Most guests were keen to get on with there visiting of the area. I had no information about the fee charged for pets. My breakfast certainly was not value for money.

Personnel sympa , bon rapport qualité /prix
Pros:

Petit déjeuner correct . Nous avions choisi cet hôtel car cela faisait une escale sympa entre les Cornouailles et l'aéroport de Bristol . Il faisait très chaud malgré les ventilateurs mis à notre disposition. A répondu à nos attentes.

Cons:

Un petit coup de balayette sur les fenêtres. Isolation thermique.
