nice stay at a charming inn
comfortable bedsrenovated bathroomsample parkingspacious room
the room was spacious with comfortable beds (i slept very well). bathrooms was recently renovated, a nice touch. meals included both breakfast and dinner and they were all quite good. i found ample parking available on the hotel.
the car park is slightly distant from the entrance so maneuvering suitcases can be a bit cumbersome, though not a major issue.

Charming Stay!!!
ancient blendmodern blendhigh quality sausagescheerful service
The blend of old and new was done masterfully throughout the premises, especially in the room. I found the room dry, warm, and very well appointed. The included breakfast was AMAZING!!! The sausages were of great quality and perfectly cooked. The service I received was cheerful and efficient.
The reception area looked somewhat worn upon my arrival, not the most cute first impression.
Rooms
9/10
The room included hot water for showers and baths, and there was a comfy bed to sleep on. The housekeeping staff was diligent. They kept everything clean and restocked, which I appreciated. The room's historical features were fine.
Dining
9/10
The breakfast rooms are separated, offering one area specifically accompanied by dogs and another dog-free zone. I found the food fine, typical of pub fare, and breakfast was plentiful. I was very pleased to have a Sunday roast in the evening. Other options were also available on the menu.
Facilities
10/10
Ample parking is available, and there's a choice of exercise areas for dogs. These include a landscaped garden and a runaround field. The hotel is dog-friendly with plenty of green space around the car park for exercise. I noticed a lovely country footpath behind the car park.
Location
10/10
This location is close to the beach and coastal path, offering convenient access. Several walks are accessible directly from the hotel, and there's also a bus stop nearby. The hotel is well-placed for many North Devon attractions.
