The interior has been totally refreshed and looks amazing, really modern, trendy and stylish. It opens Sun- Thur 9am - midnight and Fri/Sat 9am - 1am. They serve the usual Wetherspoon menu but is really cheap and really worth eating there as the atmosphere is brilliant as is the service. The large tv screens add to the atmosphere and i imagine that the bar is pretty full on match days! This is a really good pub for those in Minehead, it is really close to the high street and to butlins and will do incredibly well in the main tourist time.

However, the rooms are quaint but intimate, not exceptionally large rooms, but they have everything you might want from a budget hotel, however it is more expensive than other B&Bs in the surrounding areas. The room was not the cleanest and had clearly not been totally cleaned down after the previous occupants had departed which was not very good but we told the receptionist and we were not offered a different room but they did clean it properly within an hour. The best part of the hotel is the restaurant as the breakfast was really great and we were allowed to eat in bed. The staff were very welcoming and so i would recommend it again.

Paul Hepburn is a dedicated chef producing GREAT food for the bar as well as the tastefully decorated restaurant and he is supported by a great front of house team with Sally in perfect control of affairs. The hotel is set in an idyllic village with its unique Yarn Market, its ancient priory, and a fantastic castle complete with ghosts. What more could you ask? Now even better with refurbished rooms and still great food. It has been taken over by some very knowledgeable and experienced hoteliers who also own the Royal Castle Hotel in Dartmouth where we once had a superb meal.

We were really going to the five times award winning restaurant, Terra Madre (part of the Slow Food network), for their 3 course lunch at £14.95 en route to our destination in North Devon, so did not have time to book ahead. Booking is essential. So we were offered the Bar Menu instead, which was actually a very good choice, 3 home made tapas dishes for £9.95, which consisted of a rather large bowl of piping hot buttersquash soup with two slices of homemade crusty bread, garlic prawns, hake in tomato cassoulet, garlic mushrooms, and Moroccan style lamb casserole. We added a couple of side dishes of mixed salad and homemade sourdough bread and olive oil. What a feast, all so, so delicious too! Fresh and more-ish, yum! With the booked lunch, you get a free ticket for the Sculpture Park, otherwise it is £4.50. After the meal, we had a look at the interesting art gallery cum dining hall. Some lovely pieces of art and paintings which can be bought. There are also tables outside to enjoy the relaxing atmosphere, have a drink or eat al fresco. Will need to return to wander round the Sculpture Park properly, in such a relaxed and beautiful setting.

Broomhill lies in one of the most glorious valleys in North Devon surrounded by hundreds of acres…read moreof woodland and bound by its own stream. The Broomhill Sculpture Park displays one of the largest permanent collections of contemporary art and sculpture in the South West. 300 sculptures by over 60 sculptors are sited in 10 acres of garden that present a wonderful balance between art and nature. This place is quite fantastic and is apparently one of very few art hotels in the UK. During your stay you can not only walk around the gardens and view all of the sculptures, but you can even purchase them afterwards (if you bring a very big chequebook!!). The gardens were a little drab when we visited, (but it was December!!), but I would imagine that during the warmer months they are quite breath taking. An art gallery is situated in the main dining area of the hotel itself and has many many pictures to view and purchase. The place caters for all sort of events such as weddings, large and small parties and corporate events (with its very own corporate facilities). The hotel is also renowned for its many Jazz events held throughout the year. The rooms are very reasonably priced and you get alot for your money. They are very spacious and have everything you need to make your stay very comfortable, with beautiful views over the Devon countryside. The setting is very rural and therefore very quiet and makes for a very relaxing stay and a very quiet nights sleep. The staff are a husband and wife combo (Dutch), and are two of the friendliest people you will ever meet in this business, who could not do enough to help you (especially if you like to drink tea!!). The food is organic and sourced from the local area, which is probably why it tastes absolutely fantastic (the Morroccan food is especially nice). Even if you don't stay at the hotel you should try out its restaurant, which is also very reasonably priced considering the standard. If I was going to be very very fussy then I would have to say that the alcohol is a little pricey, but I suppose it is a hotel after all. Saying that, if you visit their website, you will find that the hotel does do a number of offers to bring the price of staying at the hotel down even further i.e. B&B and reduced price evening meal. A must stop when visiting N. Devon.

There is a definite pattern in the quality of hotels that the Trafalgar Tour Company books for it's escorted tours. Everything about our tour was excellent except for the hotels. This particular hotel was one of three that I stayed at earlier this month that I would never in a million years choose for myself. Cons: - One block from the Cardiff Prison. That is really heart warming. Look at the map. - No ventilation or fans in the rooms and we could not open our window. They only have A/C in the lobby. - They need new carpet because it is very worn and it looks awful. - Elevators are old and really slow. I think there are only two. I opted to take the stairs the morning we checked out and got trapped in the stairwell with a bunch of people from my tour group. Our coach was leaving for England in 5 minute, so I ended up busting out of the Emergency Exit on the ground floor. After checking all the locked doors on every floor I really didn't care if the sirens and alarms went off. There are no good signs for the regular stairs. - Emergency Stair Well - No phones or ways to communicate with the outside world when you get stuck in there and all the doors lock behind you. Pros: - The lobby has A/C. Unfortunately, I can't sleep in the lobby. - Cardiff has some nice sites to see. Visit the Cardiff Castle if you have time. This was the best tour and we could actually sit on the furniture and touch some stuff. - We had a great dinner at the Sutton Mawr Farm which isn't too far away. I wish we could have stayed at their B&B instead of the Park Inn. - The Wi-Fi was free. If it had not been I would have deducted another star. I cannot believe this is part of the Radisson chain of hotels because it really needs a serious renovation. It is one step up from the Holiday Inn hotels I stayed at in England. Recommendations: - Check out a B & B in the country so you can enjoy the scenery. - Really check out the hotels on your itinerary if a tour company books the hotels for you. I really think this is how they make their money. They get a good group rate for a dump and they pocket the difference.

The train and bus station is a 5 minute walk away. I haven't always lived in the city so if I was ever going to gigs it was a good place to stay if booked further enough in advance. The main desk is in a unique courtyard area. I remember when it used to look like a townscape painted onto the walls so its a definite improvement. I've always found the staff to be really accommodating and while the rooms aren't the most glamourous they are conformable and have everything you need plus wifi. Rooms usually cost under £100 included breakfast and I've ever stayed here for around £50 once.
