Better than expected .
Pros:

Liked the decor. Was great to be greeted by a real person!
Good shower.
Pancakes forbreakfast!

Cons:

Could have done with a mirror over the desk as that's where the socket was. I had to use my hair tongs while standing. Just a teeny weenie niggle.

Ideal stop from M5 travel en route to cornwall
Pros:

The bed, linen and pillows were superbly comfortable.
The buffet breakfast guarantees that there is something for everyone.
Price for a Saturday night stop including breakfast was very competitively priced.

Cons:

Parking was a little difficult as the Miller and Carter share the hotel car park - however we stopped on a Saturday night which is always a busy night for hotels and restaurants. After a short 5 min wait we got a parking space
