Great value for money in beautiful surroundings
Pros:

Great service and super easy to check in after hours with very clear instructions. Clean throughout, great tea and coffee service with very clean new kettle etc and lovely shower with great water pressure. The Station House downstairs has a delicious home cooked menu too - great full english and lamb stew with lots of veggie options too. Will be returning there when i'm next in the area for week.
8 minute walk from bus station and 5 from the train.

Cons:

A pump bottle of shampoo/conditioner in the shower room would be fab. I know people often bring their own but I often forget as travel a lot solo for work and sometimes rely on them when a quick one night stay.

Great weekend stay
Pros:

A great place for the weekend. Our room was a great size with lots of daylight and a comfy large bed. The guest lounge with free continental breakfast on offer was a real bonus.
The staff were all very nice and helpful.
There is also a cafe below the hotel rooms serving delicious cooked breakfast lunches roasts cakes and drinks.
Would definitely recommend this place.

Pros:

Great welcome. Was supposed to be sharing a room with my son and Richard (owner) gave us two rooms instead - really nice of him. Great breakfast in the morning - can see why it’s so popular with cyclists and walkers as a stop.

Great for rail enthusiasts
Pros:

This is a must stay for any rail enthusiast. Loved the decor. The owner was extremely accommodating after we messed up our booking. Room was comfortable and clean. South Brent is a lovely little Devon village, very convenient for heading to Plymouth. Plenty of free parking near to the hotel.

Cons:

the weather was exceptionally hot and the room was uncomfortably warm overnight. But there was a good shower and a fridge with cold drinking water.
