The bath was large with piping hot water- lovely to relax in after a days walking. The food was exceptionally good in the evening and the breakfast was plentiful with a good variety of cooked options. We are definitely going to return when we are in the area again. ##### Joanne Stayed 1 night in Aug 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Fraser 15 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Great spot to walk down to lynmouth and back ##### Fraser Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Graham 7 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great evening Perfect ##### Graham Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Katie 24 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Really enjoyed my stay, just would have liked breakfast to be earlier then 8:30. ##### Katie Stayed 1 night in Oct 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### David 7 Jun 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Fantastic find….we’ll be back xx Perfect place for us. We were able to take to dog away with us for the first time ever, as the Blue Ball is super dog-freindly. They even provided bowls, treats, doggy beer (yes, you read that correctly) & a ball to play with. Rooms were perfect. Walks were amazing. Staff were outstanding. Food was delicious. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/E4FC8619FF807D27E4CDD6319A00279D193DEB531717342848932.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Doggy Beer!](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/34765CF1E7ED3BB4AC4559ACDAB56FAB05FFC0A71717342839633.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Daddy Beer](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/40B2E558392C5AE4CD0637DBF6BE4EED25925D6A1717342838023.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Blue Ball](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/B74434BA5AC2229C45A2C75DAB84BEAB0342AF061717342843882.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### David Stayed 1 night in May 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sanjay 24 May 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort First time I’ve be stayed here and will definitely be back next time I’m in the area. Missed breakfast due to an early meeting. Thanks again. ##### Sanjay Stayed 1 night in May 2024 Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 24 May 2025 #### Could do mych better. Under new ownership This establishment as changed hands from last visit 2 years ago. Now owned st Austell brewery. Staff especially one yonger lady on in the mornings and evenings can be quite abrupt. Service no where near as good as 2 year ago. First night had booked table kept waiting for almist one half hours. Had to complain. Other tables came much karger were served. Did get meal for half price thou. Building work is ongoing which when asked how long for told 2 months. Builders start early by 8am driving machinery up and down pass the restaurant when your having breakfast. To make matters worst i had them outside my room one morning at 7 am making noise. I again had to complain. Car park opposite is half taken by builders and aggregate . Dogs are alloqed in the restaurant which i do not agree with . Myst have be y or 7 on one might. Bar ok but not restaurant. One early evening you could overhear the cleaning staff discussing the guests staying especially ones with dogs. Comment was made by them of a guest with dogs with room on a mess with the carpet covered in ticks and the smell was overwhelming. Obviously the inn does not keep specific rooms for dog owners as dog was in room next to me one one night. Food i would say overpriced for type it is. Now being brewery owned its a typical pub menu with perhaps half dozen items now per course. No where near as good as it was inder previous owners 2 years back. That was the reason chose this place to stay.woyld not stay again ##### Verified traveller Stayed 7 nights in May 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### K 6 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Wonderful stop over for one night on a cycle tour, loved the property and would have like to have stayed for longer ##### K Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Andreas 22 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Veldig koselig plass, god mat og drikke og veldig god stemning. ##### Andreas Stayed 1 night in Jul 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 1 Jan 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Another great stay from Boxing Day to New Years Eve.
