    Great location, lovely staff, good breakfast. The hotel is a little 'tired', but comfortable. I would happily come back.

    One member of staff often seems to cover reception, the bar, and serve meals, which with the best will in the world always leaves guests waiting, sometimes for some time. Housekeeping. We placed the service my room out on the door handle. The tea tray was reset, but nothing else was touched! Please cook scrambled egg so that it is soft and creamy. It doesn't take long. Mine was brown and dry. The kippers were pink in the middle and still stuck together in a pile. Simple presentation really does make food look appetising and palatable. There is not a lot of choice on the dinner menu especially if a guest is restricted on what they are able to eat. (Not allergies) All the other food was really nice.

    The Location was lovely and peaceful,with wonderful views. We enjoyed sitting in the well kept gardens. The hotel has friendly staff, and we had a nice sized room. We came to celebrate our wedding anniversary. And to visit the nearby Toby Buckland Garden Festival at Powderham Castle. Which was wonderful. Unfortunately, our car broke down on the second day and had to go home to our garage with the RAC. A gentleman on the reception. (I think his name was Paco) was really helpful . We were able to hire a car from Enterprise near Exeter. We enjoyed mostly really great breakfasts and dinners. The staff were professional, friendly, and attentive.

    The driveway to hotel was full of potholes! Despite room being quiet it was far too warm for me & my dog. Only small window to open & fan too noisy to sleep with it on. No menu to preview online , was shown very limited typed up menu at reception which was over priced with not much choice so ended up driving to Macdonalds only few miles away!

    Stunning location with beautiful views. Peace & quiet for a relaxing night.

    Decor in room a little dated, and floorboards very squeaky. No chance of not disturbing your roommate.

    Staff very welcoming, bathroom was lovely, breakfast was great and tasty and our furry friend was welcomed too. Setting beautiful.

    That we were unable to stay for longer.

    The staff were really friendly and welcomed us (in fact maybe more welcomed our little dog). The facilities were good and the hotel clean. I enjoyed the piano being played in the evening. We found Karen and Maddie to be particularly friendly, it was lovely that there was time enough and the interest for a friendly chat. They were very generous with our dog.

    The room we were in was over the outside bar seating so was a little noisy at times.

    The setting was fantastic, I like the old school feeling, the hotel knows what it is and does not pretend to be something it’s not. It’s warm , friendly, clean, food is ok ,the bar does its job the staff are great, what more do you want?

    Bedroom was said to have a view, but we were facing into the court yard and had a lovely view of the back of the gate with glimpse of countryside beyond 😂

    It’s position and history
