Pros:

Lovely little location. We did the walking tour too. Nice little shops. Co-op if you need anything to take out for journey. Station easy short walk. Caught train to look at exeter. Easy journey, 2 trains hr to central station. Finding parking for hotel on street or car park wasn't a problem in March.

Cons:

It took quite a while to receive the cooked breakfast the 2nd morning. The dining area had been reduced to half the size too. Not just us waiting. No idea why the long delay was just a bacon roll requested. Previous day was fine though. Maybe if you like any Danish-pastry / muffin for bfast, get there early as just 1 croissant left at 8.15.

You need coins £5 worth, for parking overnight in car park or have to download an app.

A pleasant pub hotel with a bustling vibe and lovely staff. Close to great walk along the estuary.
Pros:

The staff were really polite and helpful. The breakfast was fantastic and the location was lovely.

Cons:

Room 4 has a few issues with the bed. It feels like the bed is sinking down at the head rest end. So your sleeping down hill! I ended up having to sleep with my head at the food of the bed.

Also the sound from the pub is really loud. I could hear people shouting and dogs barking until 11pm. I recommend a fire door with glass at the top of the stairs to the rooms.

Pros:

Breakfast was very good but plates could have been a lot hotter!

Cons:

A member of staff rearranging the wooden furniture on the wooden decking at 10 minutes to midnight making such a noise it woke us up. This was completely unnecessary and could have been done the following morning when all the residents were awake. It is a shame that this thoughtlessness spoilt our stay.

Pros:

We stayed in the Apartment which was spacious and very comfortable. Also although it was above the pub, as we were tucked at the end, it was pretty quiet.

Overall very good and would recommend .
Pros:

Super staff , polite and accommodating . I have stayed there previously . Super part of Devon . Very clean and a well run establishment .

Cons:

Shame there is no car park but that cannot be helped . There is an upgrade which I think would be welcome by many and that is a standard or mini fridge within the residential rooms .

Very disappointed for a St.Austell pub and Inn
Pros:

Location

Cons:

Wow lots to list, poor Sunday lunch I was ill from under cooked chicken. Gravy was sludge and veg was well overcooked! Our room was over noisy pub that shut far past the time it should. The noise continued into the wee hours outside. Very poor accommodation would not stay again… sadly

Perfect.
Pros:

Central, characterful, exceptional staff who were very accommodating and beautiful large tastefully decorated rooms. Fabulous breakfast with good coffee. We did Exmouth parkrun on the Saturday - stunning one to do if you’ve never done one before! 20 mins drive and breakfast runs til 11.30 so easily doable.

Cons:

Only minor - no parking - but that’s centre living and not the hotel’s fault!
Easy to find parking nearby and easy to unload.
