This is a very tired hotel in urgent need of a major refurbishment and staffing levels seem inadequate resulting in delays, breakfast can take up to an hour to complete In our 4 night stay our bedding was not changed and our room was dusty and at the top of 7 flights of stairs overlooking a shabby fire escape with a tangled hosepipe left there to trip us up if we needed to escape that way

Great location and convenient. Parking is difficult. Room was clean and tidy. Bed comfortable. No net curtain so either on display or closed blackout curtain. Couldn’t have window open as it was very noisy (boiler, air con or extraction system) and air con was noisy too, so not good for a relaxing lay in! Bathroom needed decent repairs/silicone and some bleach around the taps! Breakfast coffee weak. It wasn’t worth the money.

Ideal location in centre of Dartmouth
This hotel is located in an ideal location in the centre of Dartmouth. The staff were particularly helpful and pleasant. The room was a bit dated and tired but clean, the only window was looking inward over the internal courtyard and it did get a bit stuffy late at night but aircon is available. The breakfast was good and the restaurant has a nice view overlooking the harbour. No parking but the park and ride drops you 100m from the hotel so not a problem.

A wonderful find.
We had an amazing stay, the location is perfect, the building has a deep history and unique and authentic style, the room was comfortable, clean and well appointed, the breakfast was freshly cooked with an excellent choice and the staff were friendly, attentive and we're always happy to help. The whole place has a really wonderful feel in all areas. We would happily stay again and would highly recommend it in all areas.

Nice but ....
Great location, chacterful old building, with excellent service. However, we stayed in a family room which was a bit shabby and needed an update. e.g the toilet roll holder was hanging off the wall, the door lock was temperamental, and the single bed was rickety. We enjoyed our overnight stay but wouldn't have wanted to stay longer.

Great staff and right in the centre of town. Old hotel full of character. Only downside is that there is no parking any more, this used to be a real bonus.

Great for getting to be train and ferry. Ideally located with great views overlooking the harbour. Breakfast was excellent although we didn’t experience other dining options. Staff were very friendly and the property was historical and full of charm. Would thoroughly recommend a stay but as far as we are concerned it would preferably be in an external room.
