"Excellent room and hotel in general with pleasant staff however the food was very poor. Four star hotel but only offering poorly cooked pub food such as F&C, Scampi, Burgers, roast of the day etc.. nothing adventurous, no pasta, curries, no fresh fish although a few miles from the sea except fried cod from The North East I guess. It’s a fair walk to the next restaurant (a hotel) and we saw a Wetherspoons in Barnstaple which we didn’t fancy. We ended up on our last night of three collecting a sandwich from a garage and it was nicer than the previous nights F&C…. I hate writing a poor review as the staff were trying so hard and the hotel is excellent in all other aspects but someone at an executive level made the menu decision as apparently there used to be a bistro…..At 4* hotel prices one aspects 4* food to be available . I should have checked the web a bit closer I expect. Also be aware breakfast closes at 9.00am weekdays (9.30am weekends) and when you’re on a break you need a bit more leeway. It’s an expensive “full English” at £17 and then offered Eggs Benedict at a £3 supplement that’s ludicrous. I suppose we are classed as elderly and so expect everything we need on site and not to have to drive for meals."

"No draught beers and a packet of crisps was £2-50 total ripp off one of our friends slipped coming down the stairs and there was no hand rail "

"Clean room; friendly staff, great restaurant and bar. "

"My room was nice and clean very comfortable recently refurbished but the doors in the hallway needs soft closes putting on them instead of banging shut staff were really good. Food was nice. Good Wi-Fi good phone reception plenty of parking."

"On arrival the reception lady was lovely check in was easy & the hotel looks very nice from the outside. Great first impression but when you get to the second floor can see it’s dated and half going through a refurbishment. When we got to our room it’s very evident it needs an update. Damp and musty smell, the bathroom was really old, wall papered ceilings and still lots of cracks! Lots of old sockets with blank plates but only 1 wall double plug socket to use (did have USB which was good and probably the only modern thing in the room) mattresses were very cheap and springy the bed bounced when you rolled over. The room & all linen was very white & clean. Felt like a big dent under the carpet in the floor next to the bed. We are not people to complain and it was a reasonable price for a family room so we just accepted ‘we get what we pay for’ for the room it served its purpose for us. We visited the restaurant which was very calm and friendly, but unfortunately we did complain although the food looked lovely on arrival off colour scampi, pink chicken and cod which looked like it was from an Aldi box of fish. Worried of food poisoning unfortunately we did send the food back and eat elsewhere. The young lad working front of house was really good and kind with resolving the issue. The staff were amazing and I think with a thorough refurbishment (not cheap cover up) this hotel will be amazing but have low expectations if you’re using while going through the refurbishment. "
