One of the most comfortable & enjoyable stays we have had at any Hotel with such a high sty of cuisine & staff.
Pros:

The excellence of the cuisine & calibre of the young staff. The choice, variety , provision & standard of food available was commendable. King size, comfortable bed. Excellent walk in shower. The Head Chef ,Jake & his staff ,must be picked out for particular attention . They ere superb. One of the best prepared Dover Sole I have ever experienced!
The reception & Bar Staff , including Robin, I think Celine, Marley & Ben were courteous & helpful, as were the cleaning staff, Ruby & Sue.

Cons:

The inadequacy of the provision of television coverage. In effect only BBC was available ,which could also be intermittent. WiFi only only satisfactory available in the Bar area.

Pros:

Clean, comfortable room. A good size.
Nice pub and dining atmosphere.
A carafe of port and whisky as one retired to one's room was a nice touch.

Cons:

The room's windows were sealed so it was quite hot.
The breakfast menu was unpriced and expensive for what it was. I suggest getting a quote for breakfasts before accepting the option. The food was quite well cooked but there were some odd "additions" to the final dish ( for example, a nicely cooked seafood pasta dish absolutely smothered in parmesan. A chorizo hash that turned out more like huevos rancheros. A regular burger with tartar sauce. )

Very uncomfortable
Pros:

The staff were very helpful. The food was nice

Cons:

The bed was extremely uncomfortable. It was advertised as a room with 3 single beds, however it was actually a triple bunk bed. I couldn't get in the bed properly. The mattress was shocking. I tried sleeping on the sofa, which was equally as uncomfortable. I left at 1.45am as I was unable to sleep.

Perfetto, una delle migliori strutture della nostra vacanza.
Pros:

Gestore molto simpatico e disponibile. Stanza perfetta, confortevole e completa di ogni comfort. Ristorante con una buonissima carta e graditissimo vassoio dei distillati per un ultimo digestivo prima di andare a dormire. Ampio parcheggio a due passi da una delle zone più belle del Dartmoor National Park.

Lovely rooms and a very nice pub, let down by the restaurant service, some food not great.
Pros:

The accommodation was as always very good, the rooms are spotless, very nicely furnished and the facilities excellent.

Cons:

We ate in the restaurant and this is what let the whole experience down, the service was not good, we waited a very long time for our food and two of our party had steaks which were not good at all (very gristly)
Breakfast was good, service was better, however there was no vegan spread available at all (its only margarine!), and I had explained when I made the booking that we had vegans in our party.
We have stayed with you before and the room price has always included breakfast. This time it did not, possibly I should have noticed that when I booked, but when we were asked to put our breakfast order in the night before, no-one asked if we would be staying for breakfast or mentioned that it was not included in the price. We might have gone somewhere else for breakfast.

Super für Ausflüge nach Dartmoor
Pros:

Gute Lage für Ausflüge nach Dartmoor. Gehört zu einem Pub, das Abendessen dort war gut. Ich war nur eine Nacht dort, das Zimmer war sauber und angenehm groß und das Bett bequem. Außerdem sind ausreichend Parkplätze am Haus vorhanden.

Mouldy rooms - I'd never revisit
Pros:

Well it's a pretty well decorated and laid out pub, but it's ALL about the pub. I wouldn't recommend staying there unless you have a car and there's no other choice. There's some nice touches like "free nightcap station" but with only whisky and brandy yeah free but what about non drinkers and kids - easy solved. I liked the room decor although dated, but there was too much bad for us to go back.

Cons:

My big hate was that the net curtains in the room were black with mould truly. I'm not ott fussy, but black mould all over them - I have an allergy and I mentioned to owner - she said they were only washed 2 weeks ago but they have a problem with damp/windows and the curtains get mouldy! It's not good enough - if they get mouldy don't put them up or get dehumidifiers or sort windows out - it was disgusting (and so was response). The room was wrong (despite me booking a twin and emails back from owners saying it was a twin, got there to a double), was made to feel guilty when asking to change - found some staff quite hostile in fact. If you don't have a car book somewhere else, the roads aren't walkable and there's very little public transport. If you need a cab forget it.
