Room was really clean and spacious. Child's bed was not substantial at all. Hot weather meant room was very hot as no A/C. Only 1 small fan available which wasn't effective for a large room. Staff were welcoming, friendly and helpful. Spa was small but ok. Pool unavailable due to 'high levels' on last day of 2 nights. Didn't have breakfast there but menu looked ok. We had dinner on one of the nights and staff were great. Food arrive in good time. Quality was ok.

We had a really lovely time in the Spa and pool prior to our check in. Our room was great with a view over the golf course. We had a few drinks in the bar and a several games of pool. We extended our checkout to 12 noon, which cost an extra £20 which was expensive, but worth it to us. Overall a really great stay and we would go back for sure.

The hotel was very busy with golfers and check in although polite was very slow. The room was totally adequate and had a nice view of the golf course. You had to walk through the bar/dining area to access the Spa which was quite loud. We ate dinner which was very good excellent steak for the price. Breakfast was self service and at 9:15 quite a few items were missing i.e. butter, marmalade and the fried eggs were very hard and rubbery more supervision and care would be good.

I had the best welcome at a hotel in a while. Super lovely receptionist, very friendly and helpful.

For the price this hotel is fine. Just lacks a bit of cleaning, the gym was filthy with no air conditioning (I didn’t bother with the pool area based on this!!)

The stairs haven’t seen a hoover for a very long time!

The room was large and clean enough though. Very quiet and I slept well.

I would stay here again and recommend for a cheap business night or weekend.

Breakfast was great and the waiter was lovely.

Lovely quiet location. Didn’t have breakfast but the dinner night before was lovely.
Clean large room. Lovely shower.
The only reason I wouldn’t give it top marks is because it had 2 of my pet peeves ..
Firstly no plug socket next to bed .. and secondly i hate fixed shower gel bottles when its difficult to dispense!
Other than those minor annoyances, it was a great stay.

I’ve stayed here before and I have to say the property has degraded considerably. The mattress was terrible in the room leaving both my wife and I with sore backs and hips. The ‘Spa’ pool, sauna, jacuzzi, etc were tired and lacking cleanliness. The changing rooms were dirty and showing their age as well as water damage to metal furnishings. The lack of items in the room like a fridge or even basic wash items such as a shower cap, cotton bud etc were noticeable by absence. Overall I wouldn’t come back as it was lacking in the basics of cleanliness and hygiene as well as other things I’d expect as complimentary of a Spa Hotel - like a decent bed.

The bathroom was tired and needs upgrading. The shower in the bath was difficult to access because of our age. Although we were there for a three night stay the towels were not changed and when we questioned this at reception we were told they are only changed if requested and there was a problem with staff shortage. The waste bin was not emptied for the whole stay although it was full and the cups/coffee/ tea were not replaced. We expected much better for the price we paid.

I really wanted to give this a glowing review as there was much to like, however overall my experience was terrible.

I stayed off season, but breakfast is not served until 7.30am during weekdays, which was too late as I had to be out by then, making it virtually useless for anyone who is working.

However the hotel were very accommodating and credited my breakfast against the evening meal. The evening meal was very pleasant but as the restaurant was busy (Pancake Day) it was slow.

The room on the lowest level (107) was cold. It had night storage heaters so I presumed it would warm up but it didn't. Again not a massive issue as I would prefer to be cool than too hot.

However my shower was a non existent drip. When I got up in the morning at 6.30 for a shower it was not possible as there was no water. I was told the borehole had dried up but this really left me disappointed.

I discussed this with reception and as it was early they took it away to deal with it. They offered a full refund which was agreeable, however over a week later I have checked Expedia and my Credit Card and there is no credit applied, so I have been left feeling let down again.

I have tried calling and emailing to resolve without any luck.

I need to stay in South Devon every month for the next 15 months but I will have to look for somewhere that can meet the basic needs of a traveller.

The school report says \"could do better\"

Had a terrible experience and would NOT recommend. despite having a confirmed booking, i got there in the middle of the night to be told someone marked my reservation as for the day after and there are no rooms available. then i was told, wait, there is a room, and was given the key; I get to the room, try the key and a man opens the door! at 2am! Then the receptionist finally tells me they have another room that is marked as out of service because it needs maintenance, as it is damp and smelly but i can stay there until the morning. The place is in the middle of nowhere, i was told that if i want. a refund i ned to come back in the morning...that would have been a half hr drive at least each way, for a mistake that is not mine.... Following day, another receptionist apologises for the experience and says he would speak to his manager to get a refund approved. A few hours later i get an email saying the room i stayed in was fine and that no refund will be issues. I call the hotel frustrated and the manager (?) shouts at me! it has simply been horrible.....PLUS the steam room is decommissioned for good, so yet another piece of misleading information.

The hotel is good for some one who interested in golf sport.
The spa fully booked when I reached because I must book in advance if I want any kind of services.
I was shocked by the hotel's policy, which forces the tourist after he paid the full amount to them to share his visa information in order to avoid the damages that they assume from the visitor in their minds and their refusal to take a cash as a guarantee.

A very nice stay.

A very pleasant stay the setting in the middle of a golf course means you are surrounded by countryside and away from the roads. We had a evening meal which was excellent and plenty of it. I can imagine it will be busy at weekends but certainly the 2 nights we stayed it was ok so there was plenty of parking. A plus for us was we didn't see any dogs in the hotel.

Great location, shame about the bed!

The hotel is in a beautiful location, very peaceful. It is well kept, clean and staff are very friendly. Our room overlooked the golf course which was wonderful. I can't comment on restaurants as I didn't eat there but there were several gluten free options for dinner. I haven't given 5 stars as there were a couple of bugs on the carpet (loads of condensation in the windows and streaming down into the carpet). The 2 single mattresses were put together for the double but unfortunately one of them was very worn and felt like I was going to fall off the edge. I have a chronic back disability and chose the hotel for the Hypnos mattress. Sadly on this occasion it failed to deliver on its promise and I had a lot of back pain. I informed reception on check out, hopefully housekeeping will sort.

We had a pleasant stay for our three night break. The hotel is located in a lovely area. The staff dealt with all of our queries wel apart from an issue we had with pillows. Evening meal was very good. Understandably choice is limited because of the current situation.

For a resort hotel could have a bit more entertainment for kids, no park nothing to keep them happy. The restriction on the pool for the kids to use is poor times. People these days still have kids hotels should think about this. Hotel could do with an upgrade. Parking during the day can be a pain as all the golfers take the good spots, something to think about for the hotel guest. Either you're a golf club first or a resort. Sort out the entertainment and you will be onto a winner..
