Location and views were good. Ample parking. Breakfast was good, plenty of options - my wife had salmon I had kippers, should have been served with toast, not a problem in doing our own but shows lack of care. Bed was comfortable and room was big.
Very poor road leading into the hotel, looks like a private road or at least the hotel owners can put pressure on to rebuild. Needs some money spent on the interior too - cleaning the carpets leading to the rooms won't be enough.
Staff was friendly.
Struggling with taking luggage up 3 flights of stairs, the room was hot and the fan was noisy and needs replacing. The food was burnt overcooked and did mention this but nothing was said or done. £30.00 for burnt fish and chips
Paul and Val were charming and thoughtful hosts who made my stay extremely pleasant. The hotel is in a beautiful location with well-kept grounds. Good value for money compared with Exeter town centre accommodation.
The hotel is clearly in need of a refurb. Decor and fixtures are showing their age.
First appearances very positive. Heating in room was off. However, room was hot and stuffy, with limited ventilation from window which had to be covered with blind as night-time illumination of external quad meant room was floodlight led to very sleepless uncomfortable night. Room itself in need of attention as holes in wall by headboard and dirty windows. Organised evening meal for just after 8pm left in in bar where we ordered a light snack of sandwiches in the presence of two members of staff. Along with ourselves there were three other couples waiting to be settled in restaurant. After 50 minutes, we were the only ones left waiting when we were informed our food order had been lost, by which time it was too late for my wife to eat. We were informed it would only take a matter of minutes to prepare, but having waited so long we declined and went to bed hungry. At the much anticipated breakfast, my wife ordered salmon and scrambled egg on toast from the menu. Salmon and egg appeared, and when questioned were informed we had to make our own toast which my wife proceeded to do, by which time the scrambled egg was cold. So, in all conscience we can only award one star.
Location
No lift . Very poor approach roads narrow with many deep potholes. Facilities generally dated.
Mooie locatie, prettig personeel. Op een bepaalde manier erg Engels.
Beetje kleurloos en je krijgt het gevoel dat het gebouw liefdeloos gerund wordt door de eigenaar. Bijvoorbeeld verouderd sanitair, toegangsweg vol gaten, ik kan nog even doorgaan.
The gardens were the best part of the stay.
The food was awful, the interior of the hotel was poor and the rooms were in need of a refurb. The carpet in the corridor to the hotel was disgusting and smelt so bad of dogs. This is a dog friendly hotel and we had dogs but I have never experienced such a bad smell of dogs in a hotel.
Wonderful staff, beautiful location and superb room. We didn’t eat in the restaurant so can’t comment about that.
The small lanes to get there 😂.
Everything
A little off the beaten track!
Great staff. Lots of variety.
The shower still had previous guests hair on the wall. Water took ages to warm up so basically had a Luke warm
Shower.
Dinner was fair, the garlic bread did not really taste of garlic.
Other guests finished dinner and left, however when we finished I asked if I needed to sign anything or do they just put it on our room bill, Earlier having a drink in the bar I just signed for them and it was put on the room bill.The reply was I'll just check, then he said No you will have to pay now, which I found strange as no one else had paid. I have stayed in many hotels and drinks / food were always put on my room bill which would be paid when I left.
Our room was terrible, there was no air-con and the heat was at times unbearable, even with the window wide open, the view from the window was of two large oil tanks which are in an enclosed court yard. The building exterior inside the court yard, was in a very poor state with ivy climbing up drain pipes up to the roof.
The curtains had missing rings holding them up. The net curtain was obviously old and at least four inches too short. In the bathroom the toilet roll holder is literally on the wall behind you and level with the bottom of the cistern, so the only place to leave the toilet roll was on the floor. The toilet seat was loose so you had to be careful not to fall off.
The wash basin was really small, and the plug was useless. I filled the sink to have a shave and by the time I had applied shaving cream the sink was completely empty! I had to leave the tap running while shaving. The extractor in the bathroom did not work, and there was no window.
If I was running the hotel I would never have put a guest in that room!
The public areas were fine and looked as the photos on the website, however the room was nothing like the photos, It is in real need of updating, we were glad to leave!
