A great experience all ‘round.
Pros:

We were very well looked after throughout our stay. Rooms were clean and comfy and the breakfast was of a very high standard. Staff were polite and hard working. We came with my elderly parents whose rooms were kindly moved to the ground floor by Charlene (apologies if I’ve gotten the name wrong!). There literally wasn’t anything too much to ask her for to accommodate our stay better. Fantastic customer service and care which was gratefully received. She and her colleagues were a real credit to the Hotel! Many thanks.

Pros:

Staff very attentive, beautiful hotel, comfortable bed

Cons:

30 degrees outside, no air-conditioning inside ... but this would only upset you for about one week mid summer. Good fan's provided in my room.

Staff were great, they all worked well and hard to ensure our stay was so special, thank you all.
Pros:

The staff were fantastic, nothing seemed too much, the hotel carried so much history. The room was lovely and spacious and the breakfast was fantastic.

Cons:

We loved the place, the outside back garden could have had far more outside seating. You sat there and it felt you were in the middle of nowhere, so relaxing. The garden was well kept and it was a bonus to our visit.

We had a very enjoyable one night stay.
Pros:

A lovely hotel with lots of character. The staff were very efficient, helpful and friendly. We had a very good meal in the restaurant.

Cons:

A charge of £8 per day or part-day to use the car park seems excessive.

Worst high tea in Devon
Pros:

Appalling afternoon high tea. No tea leaves here just good old value tea bags plonked in a tea pot. Awful sandwiches cheese and pickle and ham and mustard as dull as ditchwater. The sloppiest cakes ever which made me feel ill and a hard baked scone which was just about edible
