We only were due to stay one night, as a very short jaunt but I would have been happy to stay longer
Pros:

Very tasty (I had a full English) and well-cooked but there was a more than ample choice to suit different tastes.

Cons:

Perhaps the cutlery was little on the light side-heavier ones seem more up-market-but this is just a quibble.

Fantastic base for a few days in the west country
Pros:

Location and terrace outside were superb. Breakfast was good and the right quantity. It was a real bonus that the car parking in the public car park was paid for as part of the hotel stay and we didn't need to pay extra.

Cons:

The service at breakfast was a bit hit and miss - forgot to bring milk then forgot to bring toast later on. I admit we paid for a "small" double room but it really was small!

Perfect setting - lovely hotel
Pros:

Put simply - everything was excellent. The staff were friendly, helpful and efficient, the hotel facilities provided everything to make a guests stay comfortable, everywhere was clean and beautifully presented. Our room (a Deluxe Double) was comfortable, clean and spacious.
Breakfast offered plenty of choice - the Exmoor breakfast was excellent - and the dinners we enjoyed from either the restaurant or terrace menu were tasty and good value.
The terrace by the harbour provides a lovely spot for relaxing at any time of day.

beautiful hotel, lovely setting, let down by breakfast
Pros:

The location is wonderful. Our room was lovely - clean and comfortable. The hotel says it is dog friendly and it is.

Cons:

The breakfast was the downside of our visit. For example we had tea every morning. The pot did not quite fill two cups so we had to ask for extra water. Just provide a jug of hot water in the first place or get bigger pots or smaller cups!!
I ordered toast and one slice of granary arrived - it was the smallest piece of bread I had ever been served because it was the crust off the end of a loaf - not even a slice of bread! Homemade pancakes are on the menu - beautifully presented but its actually one small pancake cut in half! So either change the menu to say pancake or just serve two! I could go on - just a let down on an otherwise lovely stay

This hotel exceeded our expectations in a gorgeous location.
Pros:

Beautiful location, with gorgeous views.
Really helpful staff. Enjoyed breakfast menu.
And we will be recommending the hotel to our friends.

Cons:

We visited in exceptional weather so air conditioning would have been nice. Perhaps king size would have been nice.

Pros:

Very comfortable, friendly staff, lovely relaxed atmosphere. Fab location.

Cons:

There seemed to be a gap between 4p.m - 6p.m when you could not get any food either in the Hotel or the village (Porlick Weir). Would just happen to be when I fancied a snack. ☹️
