10/10 Excellent
"We were there as a couple over a bank holiday weekend. The hotel is clean with a warm friendly welcome. The receptionist was informative and ensured we were aware of the parking charge (£15 per day). Found this alot considering we were staying at the hotel. Bar staff friendly and made us aware of their opening times. They weren't however able to answer a question about room service although reception did. Our room was clean and welcoming with everything you needed including bathrobes. Breakfast was great, nice choice of items. Fruit was limited and slices were thinly cut but very fresh, so no complaints. We would have liked some sort of entertainment on an evening even if its just a singer in the background. We would highly recommend this hotel for a break away"

8/10 Good
"Staff were very friendly & helpful, room was clean and it was quiet despite being quite full. One daily our room wasn't serviced but staff brought fresh supplies quickly. The wet room is a bit too wet as the water overspills the drain but it was a good shower. Breakfast is unspectacular but decent. The bed was comfortable but pillows far too soft. Having great big windows we expected a great view but the windows were dirty and one window unit was misted, which was a shame. Overall it is very good value and I would stay again, though disappointed that dogs are allowed."

Clean, tidy and efficient and at a great location for access to local shops and easy access in and out to the A38 Plymouth Parkway!! Will definitely be staying there again!! They could however improve the beds. They need replacing with more modern ones like other hotels already have done."
