We loved our stay at this quaint hotel. I believe we were taken care of by the owners who were…read morevery, very nice and helpful. Note* If you have difficulty navigating stairs, this may not be the place for you as there are no lifts. The bedroom was nice, but boy, the beds were firm!! My back didn't like that. Also, the only thing separating the toilet from the bedroom was a louvered bi-fold door. That made for an interesting experience! We were on the very top floor, so due to the ceiling angle there was no shower, but a tub with a spray was available. No air conditioning, but luckily the weather had cooled enough for that day so we didn't melt. :) The breakfast was very, very nice even though it only lasts for 45 minutes from 8:30-9:15! Better set your alarm. ;) There is a small pool table in the 2nd parlor to help keep yourself entertained. The pool was drained and closed when we visited last week which seemed odd. Shouldn't a pool be open in July? About 15-20 minutes drive to Port Isaac (where Doc Martin is filmed) and about the same in the opposite direction for Tintagel Castle. All in all, a brief yet relaxed stay. :)

We've stayed here several times, the most recent being two days ago. Always a reasonable place to…read morestay, especially if you book well in advance for one of the special offers. As with the other Travelodges (and we've stayed in hundreds because we used to use them when working all over the country), the rooms are clean with an extremely comfortable king size bed (wish we could buy one like that), an en-suite with freshly laundered towels and soap. Tea and coffee making facility next to the TV. Plenty of space for luggage and hanging clothes and a large sofa under the window (also an 'extra' bed). Very friendly pleasant person on reception two nights ago.

Great service from Fabrizio, Sophie and Ellen, who all worked together to make sure we had a unit…read morethat worked with my mom's mobility limitations. We were first assigned T41, and because a more accessible unit wasn't available, they labeled a parking spot closest to our unit as "reserved". T41 has 2 bathrooms but both are upstairs with the bedrooms. So that room ultimately didn't work for us. The Reception crew worked hard to find us a different unit, and we ended up choosing Unit 7, aka the Woodpecker bungalow. Both units were nicely refurbished, though the bungalow needed more hand holds around the tub. T41 was very bright in the morning, as the master bedroom windows faced the rising sun. There were peacocks everywhere, screeching up a storm! They quieted down at night though. The dinner and breakfast we ate at the restaurant were good and average priced. We missed the Sunday roast by a few hours. (12-4) The only downside to this property is that it's general location requires driving down country lanes to get to sightseeing points of interest. That process was daunting and time-consuming. But we're glad we had this experience and got to explore this part of the country.

We were scheduled for a week long stay, after spending a week in London. Huge culture shock going…read morefrom the big city to the English countryside. The facilities and grounds are nice, including the apartments (where we stayed as part of a timeshare exchange) and some suites at the other end of the property. Facilities include an onsite bar and restaurant (serving dinner only, breakfast by appointment), indoor pool, spa, fitness center, game room and small store. There is a rec director with some planned activities, and they also offer a menu of spa stuff (massage, hair salon, etc.). The pros: well-maintained, friendly and helpful staff, decent food. The cons: very little to do, crappy wifi, fitness center opens late (8:30 am), dysfunctional kitchen in our unit. The biggest downer was the lack of much to do in the surrounding area. We did take day trips to Bude, Lynmouth and the Dartington Crystal Factory, but we found it hard to fill a week, and wound up leaving two days early. There are some restaurants in the general area, but any of them entail a bit of a drive on narrow country lanes, something we avoided after dark. Our unit was a 1-BR apartment, which was overfurnished (the huge chest/coffee table took up most of the available floor space in the living room), and the kitchen was so small and dysfunctional as to be nearly useless. And if you need Internet access, be forewarned - they just recently installed wifi in the rooms, which hardly worked at all; I was able to get access by taking my laptop to the reception area, which was kind of a pain in the ass considering that I paid £30 for in-room access. The spa is really tiny, barely big enough for two people. And if you fancy a massage or beauty treatment, note that this operation is separate from the resort, and accepts cash or check only (no credit card or room charges). I used the fitness center and pool, and both were satisfactory. The staff was very accommodating, and that really helped a lot. The food was decent, and included a Sunday carvery, with menu changes throughout the week . . the restaurant wasn't huge on ambiance, so we wound up eating every night in the bar, which we greatly enjoyed. Probably won't be back, largely because there isn't enough to do, although for a week of mostly R & R, it might be the ticket.

The rooms in the annex are the ones to plump for…read more..... Youngs were offering a room BOGOF in February and the deal was a delight. I reserved a larger room in the converted annex a short stroll away, as we like quiet. The room faced the water and road noise was not an issue as the windows were well insulated and the road in general is quiet out of season. Being Valentines' Day we had some 'nocturnal rumblings' from the room above us (we were on floor 2 of 3 floors) and after over hearing conversations I believe the occupants might have been staff on a discounted break. However their youthful efforts did not cause us much annoyance (OK I'd love to be in my 20's again....) and sleep came well around midnight. Our bedroom was large, had great linen and mattress, the bathroom had a great tub with separate free standing shower and offered good 'smellies and lotions'. The room heated up quickly...in fact I needed to open the window at 02.00 to cool down for 30 minutes...sadly my amorous desire did not toddle into action so back to sleep I went! We had a drink in the bar of the main pub where the counter was not nearly as clean as it should have been. The young barman offered us a cloth to wipe it down when we mentioned it and even asked us if we wanted to use a spray! Being a former barman as well as a hospitality inn owner I thought he needed some training; when it's quiet always wipe down your bar. He was pleasant enough but tables in general needed more clearing and cleaning. To sit in bed and watch a trawler drift past the window and then next morning to see the river bottom as the tide had gone out was an impressive experience as the tide must go up and down by over 20 feet....... A good stay and we even managed to get parked in their free car park. In the height of the season parking must be an issue as ever other property seems to be a rental. That said, street parking is not charged for and there is a large council car park should you need it but there is a charge there.

Very popular during the season for lunches and evening meals, so you'll often find it very busy indeed. They also do a really excellent Sunday lunch.

Rooms decorated okay. Facilities are definitely in need of upgrading and furniture is a bit of an odd mix and frankly a bit 1950's I think its done for period effect. However the rooms do not have conventional bathrooms, instead stepping through the door is like entering a static caravan bathroom, built of plastic with loo and shower, step on the drain hole and you can flood the bathroom. Definitely al throwback. Tv small. Lack of tray, small cups, the kind of things you would not expect in a hotel of this stature. The really good outstanding thing was the excellent service and freindlyness of the staff.

Jack even backed our large vehicle down the narrow street for us!

Breakfast was good, and they provided for my vegan sister as well. Thanks for a wonderful stay!
