Great staff, great food, great location.
Pros:

Staff were welcoming, freindly and helpful. The choice of refreshments in the room were great. Breakfast was very good, with a good choice.

Cons:

It is an old building and the attenuation between rooms and from the floor above were not as good as a new building. This is not the hotel's fault it is a consequence of a place with history and character.

I loved it - perfect location and was so safe and welcoming
Pros:

Perfect location, staff were so kind, food was amazing. I was on a solo trip and felt very safe.

Cons:

There isn’t really anything negative to say about the property - but if I was to be really picky, I’m an early bird and it was a little noisy from the room I was staying in - but went quiet between 10pm - 11pm. It’s a beautiful place & people come and go for food, drinks and staying 🤍

Disappointing
Pros:

Central location, good breakfast

Cons:

Room was unpleasant, no external window in double bed part and none at all in twin bed part which was like a dungeon with not even a bedside light. Not clean, moved bedside table to find loads dust and an old earplug!
Woman who checked us in, no eye contact, no hello, no welcome, just ' let me get logged in'.
Air con unit message said it needed servicing, was filthy and smelled bad, sarcastic message regarding air con on wall
Whole place feels like it needs updating, especially carpets, didn't feel relaxed at all.

Great location and loely staff but room 22 is just too small and on one night the noise was disgrace
Pros:

Excellent staff serving a good breakfast. Very friendly and helpful.

Cons:

I knew the room, number 22 was supposed to be small but it was so tiny as to be claustrophobic and it had no external windows. This made it very stuffy for sleeping and on one night of my stay there was what sounded like work being done right through the night. I complained about this but was told it was most likely the night porter doing his various duties. It certainly went on and on and it was noisy making sleep almost impossible. I was told the place was haunted but I don’t mind that. Ghosts are quiet, or so I understand.

Tired, bad beds, no air con, staff don’t care. Decent location.
Pros:

The location - close to transportation and town centre

Cons:

Very tired, very very soft bed and only one sheet as a ‘duvet’ (ok since a heat wave but still a light proper duvet would have been better),
extremely hot room and air conditioning knowingly broken upon check in but didn’t tell us, so we went up three flights of stairs to the even hotter top floor, to be greeted by an ‘ out of order’ sign over the air conditioning unit, and one tiny fan blowing heat across the room.
- the staff knowingly checked us in, failing to mention the entire hotel’s air conditioning wasn’t working , and apparently hadn’t been for several months. Fair enough not the staff’s fault, but we felt tricked for not having been told, sent up to the room - like we wouldn’t notice during the UK’s hottest ever summer. We should have been told at the time of booking. The manager seemed delighted to tell me the hotel doesn’t advertise air conditioning (they do as it’s classified as a ‘facility’.) like he’d got one up on us and couldn’t care less and was smirking at my annoyance and how upset I was for having had such a bad nights sleep. I said we didn’t even get any complimentary water in the room, and he said there was water provided - from the bathroom tap!!

Not cheap, should've asked to change room. Fix the mould problem in the shower. Great location.
Pros:

The bed was fairly comfortable, and the staff were friendly enough.

Cons:

I'm sure I didnt book a single room.. but here we are. The shower had black mould; the room was literally a 'Shoe Box' as the sign said on the outside of the door.

Perfect location near the river and centre of Totnes
Pros:

Great location, friendly staff, comfortable bed and good power shower. Breakfast buffet was not extensive but fine.

Cons:

It's an old building which gives it character but the decor in the common areas looked a bit tired.

(Had to keep curtains closed in my room as workmen were working on a flat roof outside but this was not the hotel's fault.)
