The Cedars Inn by Greene King Inns

10/10 Excellent

"Really enjoyed our 4night stay Spacious bedroom in the courtyard. The restaurant served good quality food reasonably priced. The breakfast had a good variety of food. Although there were some small works being done the place was very clean. Finally the staff gave excellent service and were very helpful and pleasant. Would not hesitate to stay here again when in the area."

Watersmeet Hotel

8/10 Good

"This hotel is in a fantastic location with beautiful walks along the shore. The hotel is clean, sophisticated and comfortable. The staff were almost all very friendly, kind and helpful. The food was very nice - excellent breakfasts especially. The only downsides are that the pool is freezing. Also information on the room specification was misleading ‘shower/bathtub combination’ logically made me think we would have a bathtub with a shower over the top. As a part of an expensive seaview room, I really wanted a bath and the information given made me believe this is what we would have instead of the shower which I found in our room. Otherwise I would not have booked that room. I was told on arrival by the hotel manager that I should have made a special request for this before arriving (which made it seem like this was my fault). She told me that there was nothing she could do about it because they were fully booked and that next time, I needed to request this to avoid being disappointed. No other attempts to make up for this or to at least accept that the information given had been misleading were made. The rest of the kind and welcoming staff and our stay there made up for this rude and unkind interaction and we had a nice time but this did taint the trip for us and better customer service could have avoided us feeling disappointed and told off."

Kentisbury Grange

10/10 Excellent

"The room was good. The staff were excellent,nothing was too much bother for them. The food in the restaurant was very good, but slightly over priced. The wine choice was excellent with very good wines at a reasonable value. If you just want a chilled stay then Kentisbury Grange will be perfect as it is not far from the beaches and towns of Ilfracombe.barnstaple. Their is no other amenities at this hotel.Breakfast was excellent. Good ingredients and freshly cooked"

The Bath Hotel Lynmouth

8/10 Good

"We ensured we arrived before 17.00 hours as the hotel has no-one on reception from 17.00hrs onwards. We felt this was a little restrictive although the Ancient Mariner staff were available to a later time in the evening. We found it convenient to have restaurant and bar food available at the Ancient Mariner and can thoroughly recommend it too. Breakfast is served between 8.00 and 10.00, a decent interval of time. The staff were pleasant and friendly but service for the hot food was a little slow at times. The choice of cereals, juices, fruit, croissants was plentiful and the hot food was very tasty. The room was not huge (after all we were in the 'Snug'!) but it was sufficient, while a second comfy chair would have been welcome. The WiFi worked perfectly well. The hotel was a very convenient base for exploring the beautiful local area. Again, the staff were good at directing us to the local car-parks and advising us we might consider a 4 day pass from the tourist office, Worth noting that car-parking is free by the roadside from 1st November to Good Friday."
