Parking right outside, easy check in, was shown to room.
Newly renovated rooms are clean and decor is great.
Comfortable beds and bedding.
Fresh milk in fridge.
Bar area was warm and welcoming, even on a busy December weekend with very well priced drinks.
Would 100% stay here again.

The outside of the property was beautiful at first glance. Both myself and my partner were staying only for one night.

The first issue was the lady who showed us to our room- as I was walking she asked “how far along are you?” To which I said “sorry? Who’s pregnant” and she replied “oh sorry, I just thought you were pregnant and I didn’t understand why your partner would’ve made you hold the bags” to which I replied “no”. Obviously quite an uncomfortable situation for both party’s, I wouldn’t say I’m on the heavier side as 20yr old size 12 but obviously she thought otherwise.

Second issue was our bathroom, as we walked in we noticed our bathroom was flooded also there was yellow marks near the toilet so my partner went down to let them know, to which they said they were going to sort it out. Later in the evening when we arrived the bathroom was still flooded and the marks were still there. Small things like the carpet feeling dirty/sticky, bad quality mattress and there was no hairdryer but we did have tea and coffee as well as complimentary soap in the bathroom.

I would give this a solid 4 out of 10, for £100+ a night I would expect a different approach to their guests.

Unfortunately just very dated. The bar area looked more like a social club than a country pub.

Dog friendly & very pleasant establishment

Very friendly staff throughout and made a fuss of our dog. Excellent dinner & breakfast Wonderful outside dining/drinking area. Good location less than an hour from Plymouth docks. The basic room was as described and next time will upgrade for more comfort and space.

Property was fine. Staff were not as good as expected. I asked for omelette in the morning, the answer was No we can’t make you one. We asked for veg sausages , it arrived after 30 mins. The first night I asked for heating in the room as it was so cold, the lady wasn’t impress with the heating she had to provide. Nobody asked us how our stay was, food and overall general conversation. We felt really left out as an Asian family.

A good, safe stay

The reception staff were friendly and efficient. The room was spacious, though one of the single beds had an uncomfortable mattress. Very generous coffee, tea and milk supplies, which were replenished. Couldn't open our windows the second morning, as, being on the ground floor and near an exit/entrance for linen collection, obstacles had been placed against. Overall, it satisfied our needs and was a reasonable lodge for the price.

Will definitely return

Good value for money, clean and quite comfortable. Expected a double bed but got twin beds and in the family room a very small tv but overall a good experience. We had a very nice dinner.

They have a very good quality restaurant for breakfast and dinner. The rooms are okay but maybe mattress is poor quality. The staff were helpful and happy to help. Nice place to stay in a very good location.

There was a power cut in the area when I arrived. The power wasn't restored until 1030pm. Not the hotels fault but paying £95 to sit in a darkened room with no electricity is a bit much.
