Great attention to detail
We always find hotel rooms too hot, so take the duvet out of its cover and just use the cover. After our return at the end of our first full day, my heart sank as I though the housekeeping team had re-bagged it. However, n closer inspection whilst they had done just that, they also gave us another duvet cover so that the duvet could stay covered up. All the toiletries were very nice and refillable large bottles, not the small single use ones. Breakfast was excellent if a little pricey. £16.50 for full English.

Cramped and ok.
Comfortable enough. Bed was a small double. Reception was ok, but not terribly interested. Servers for dinner tried hard, but our stay was overshadowed by the wedding taking place.

Liked: Amenities
The room I stayed was good, if a little dated, the Restuarant, bar and lounge are very good, excellent and attentive staff, can’t fault them. Having free parking straight across the road in Bideford is a real bonus. The only downside is infront of the hotel, waste ground and metal fencing.
