Slept on the floor

Arrived at 01:30 after a hard night's work to discover that the twin room I had booked, for two males, had been swapped out for a double room. One person had to sleep on the floor, and I had to give them my duvet, pillow, and cushions from the car. This, after I had phoned the day before to confirm that the rooms were twins. After much phoning, and to-ing and fro-ing I did not get to bed until 03:00. I did get the room fee refunded in full and they were very apologetic, but not pleased.
Other than that, staff were nice, room was nice, comfy, and the place (Dolton) is pretty.
Breakfast was adequate, well-cooked, catering standard food. Those giving \"superb\" reviews of this need to get out more.
Having said all that, we all agreed we'd go back, so long as we all got a bed next time.

The hotel was lovely and the food excellent.
Staff were so polite and accommodating.
The only thing is , we stayed in one of the down stairs rooms to the left of the the property and our room smelt very damp. All the furnishings were lovely but the overwhelming smell of damp would make me rethink about staying in that particular room again. It may have been from the large open fireplace but not sure .
Wasn’t going to mention it but felt it was something that needs addressing.

Their check-in time was listed as being until 10pm. I arrived at 930pm. The place was locked up and nobody answered the phone when I tried calling them. I knocked on every door there - nothing. I had to find another hotel to stay at. The worst part is this place refuses to give me a refund on my booking. They should be paying me for all the additional expenses I incurred as well as apologising profusely for this terrible customer service. They are not sorry at all. I am disgusted with this place and hope they get banned from Expedia.

My hosts , looked after me and my dog Zeke, keeping watered and well fed during my stay. Breakfast was freshly made and the choice is outstanding. Evening meals were absolutely amazing , and I was always to full to try the desserts !!

Amazing and friendly staff

Amazing staff, arrived after a long drive due to multiple accidents with our 3month old. Checked in with no issues. The lovely girl even offered to help carry some of our bags up to our room. When we unpacked we realised we forgot our travel cot (I know, bad parents 😂) I asked if they had one available and without hesitation went to find one. Left it outside our room with no fuss, life saver. Breakfast was fantastic. Choice of different cooked breakfasts with additional cereals, pastries and toast with plenty of juices to choose from. Only point to pick up, the shower could do with more pressure (sorry I have to pick something up). Overall we were happy with our stay and want to thank the owners and staff for hosting our night away.

\"Interesting\" room - great place to stay

It was a very friendly pub, with limited parking outside. We parked in the local Village Hall car park less tha 100 yards away.
The room was \"interesting\". It had a double and a single bed end to end (not enough room to place them side by side) but still room for a full bathroom.
Dinner and breakfast were great and good social distancing.
We would definitely stay here again.

Nice rural location. It was a shame that on the Sunday and Monday nights the restaurant was not serving food, however when available the food quality was very good as was the service provided. The additional COVID arrangements were satisfactory with the obligatory use of masks and sanitiser in place. Overall if you are looking for a few quiet days in the Devonshire countryside I would recommend you give the Rams Head a go.
