Very clean, comfortable and fresh room. Ordered two portions of fries and onion rings which were not great. Onion rings were soggy and the chips were not crispy. Very overpriced for sides. Portions were small and not a great standard.

Comfortable and clean room, friendly and helpful staff.
Breakfast area relativity small and busy so crowded at peak times, though the hotel does have signs that advise guests which times are busiest.

Hi MikeThank you for your feedback, we look forward to welcoming you again soon.
Liked the fact the hotel is dog friendly, good food, nice bar area and friendly and helpful staff. The only downside is our room was cold - the window was open when we arrived and then heating didn't work we had to go to reception (who I think knew it didn't work) who gave us a heater to take the chill off the room

Excellent stay overall. Staff very efficient and pleasant.Lovely breakfast choice. Only small observation I would make is the cereal bowls too small and a tray would be practicable.

Property was surprisingly nice and clean although lounge was very limited. The beds were very uncomfortable for us all. The very negative point was the price of drinks at the bar. £18 for a gin and tonic and a cup of tea .

Good hotel, comfortable and had all the essential facilities. Aircon/heater unit was not very good and it was chilly at times and I don’t like the fan running when I am in bed but if you turn it off there’s no heat.
Parking was £6 per day so another £30 on the cost of a 4 night stay. Good breakfast but limited menu for dinner. Restaurant on the other side of the car park but don’t always want the hassle of going out when working in the evening

The double beds were verg small and my son said the sofa bed was uncomfotable.
Our main issue was people walking their dogs barking past our room in the night so preventing us from sleeping. The 2nd night was the worst, I was totally shattered and had a 3 hour drive to do so very annoyed.

Don't stay here if you have animal hair allergy
Lift not working so had to take ground floor room, which have had animals in. Husband sneezing and wheezing all night, so since you cannot guarantee lift working will not use this hotel again. Shame as location ideal, but cannot risk another night like that.

All the staff were very pleasant, polite and helpful. Really enjoyed breakfast. Carpet in the room I was in, had seen better days and could do with replacing or a steam clean. On the whole a good stay and I would return.

Good hotel location, good price. But the rom was opposite the lift so could hear the lift announcement all night, which was very loud. Breakfast was average, not a lot of choice, food was a little undercooked and pastries were dry

Awful parking
Chose this hotel due to proximity of motorway for a business trip. I had a brand new hire car. There was not enough parking and there were vans and trailers taking up multiple parking bays. Also, you had to pay for parking, which I did not expect. The machine charges you £6, but if you need to stay longer it gets quite expensive. There is a cafe/bar so you can get an evening meal.

Hi, thanks for taking the time to leave a review. Sorry to see your experience didn't live up to expectation. Please drop us a message so we can discuss this. All the best, Alex - Hotel Operations Manager.
We chose this hotel for convenience as flying from Exeter airport the next morning.
Reception staff were very friendly and welcoming, room had all needed amenities and bed was so comfortable.
Breakfast was included making this a great value stay. Will definitely stay here again.
