What a lovely place to stay at whilst visiting Dartmouth. Convenient for food as well as a local drink. Breakfast was included and the dog was spoiled in the most dog friendly hotel i think we have ever stayed at.

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.
