Disappointing.
Pros:

Food was good if served in a rushed manner. Receptionist was cheerful although she did get a few things wrong, telling us that breakfast was £20 / head, whereas it was only half that price. Parking was free. There was good entertainment in the evening although that was spoiled by running bingo as well. Bar was cheap.

Cons:

We chose this hotel because it had good reviews and was cheaper than previous hotels we’d stayed in, in Exmouth. However, we missed that breakfast was not included and at £10 per head it worked out no cheaper. Not particularly clean if you look carefully. Wallpaper hanging off the wall in our room. Hot water ran out half way through a shower. Wasn’t hot enough to have a shower the second morning either.

The stay did not meet with my expectations
Pros:

The location of the hotel was very good and the initial impression was also
Good .

Cons:

The room decor was very dated and in poor condition. The ceiling had peeling wood chip wallpaper and the paint was flaking in the bathroom.
At breakfast the wait to be served was a very long time.
