Good

Room was ok. Cleaning not good. No food or drink facilities. Didn't listen to my phone request for a downstairs room due to my disabilities.
Wouldn't let me charge car overnight as it is a Rapid charger. Charging a good price but if you go over an hour you are charged an extra £4 - this is wavered if uou are staying at the hotel

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort
Overall quite a nice stay,shame there was no food or bar
Could have done with an extra pillow and maybe a mattress topper on the bed but otherwise everything was great. Very good value. Very helpful when we had to check in late.
Excellent hotel, located conveniently close to Exeter. Service on arrival was clear and helpful, the room was tidy and had all the needed amenities. Parking was plentiful. Bed was very comfortable and we had a lovely stay.
Great nights sleep after long journey.
Well worth visit. Location good and room very comfortable and quiet location

Tired
Not for me. Bit tired and decorated over, noisy on main road, behind a petrol station and adjacent to abondone building lot dark tatty car park . Owner very pleasant but bar/ restaurant closed for re-furbishment. Room small and bathroom needed attention. Shower screen hanging off and difficult to use. Bottle of cheap handwash on sink
Good hotel for the price. Room was clean and had the basics. Only downside it was quite noisy at night being next to a main road. Other than that it was a pleasant stay
