Thoroughly recommend. Lovely rural part of Devon, the hotel is set in its own well maintained grounds, which is excellent for dog walking, our room was clean and comfortable, as was the breakfast and dining area which were both well set out, with plenty of space to accommodate dogs. Food was great, varied and plentiful. All staff were polite, efficient, and attentive, which helped to create a pleasant and chilled atmosphere.
Had a lovely relaxing few days. Last minute booking! Couldn’t fault the service and the lovely rooms, set in beautiful surroundings and lovely staff!

Room ok and comfortable. Little bit dated.
Reception isnt manned so you have to find someone in the bar. Not enough places to just sit and have a drink. The hotel is local to us when visiting family otherwise we wouldnt choose a hotel with so many dogs. Even allowing dogs in the breakfast room.
'Restaurant' is more of a bar area.
This was just an amazing place to stay with our dog. They even had a dog bowl and a doggy treat in the room. All the staff and owners were so friendly and helpful. The grounds are safe for dog walking. We had a perfect stay
Best dog friendly hotel in the country … or even in Europe! Fabulous walking around the hotel and dogs welcome in every part of the hotel including restaurant, bar and breakfast room! Fab!
For the price paid I’d rate this place excellent. Great location, plenty of free parking and very friendly and helpful staff. Also first class breakfast.
The service and meals were excellent. The hotel has a comfortable atmosphere. If I were to make a criticism it would be that the rooms could do with updating.
Attended a wedding, food was amazing, staff very attentive, check in easy, it was so relaxing, what a lovely place, only one quibble i found the mattress uncomfortable so woudnt stay no more than a couple of nights, but the pillows where soft and comfy...Oh the tree
Well done everyone!!!!

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
It was pet friendly with lovely dogs who were all well controlled. However, the main purpose of a hotel it to sleep and the room was so poorly sound insulated that we were hardly able to sleep the first night due to the "buzz saw" snoring in the room next door. The next night different visitors were still clearly audible through the walls snoring but it was not as bad - so even normal snoring is clearly audible through the walls. The cozy room was indeed "cozy", but the old metal framed bed was very creaky, so easy to disturb your partner.

The staff were very friendly.
The bedroom decoration needed updating, we found the mattress uncomfortable. The walls were very thin, we could hear snoring from either side of us, plus talking etc.
It would have been nice to have some fresh fruit available for breakfast.

Great location but room for improvment
The location was very good and convenient for a local family wedding. The restaurant food was excellent and the staff very friendly. Our bathroom net/curtain had a considerable amount of mold but in general the room was clean, if a little dated. The breakfast service on our last day was very poor with a very long wait for food and a lack of resources to handle the amount of guests.

Good and bad
The hotel staff are all friendly and welcoming. Food was to a very high standard. Parkland also excellent and ideal for a doggy. The rooms were tired and dated and the walls were paper thin. We spent all night listening to next door snoring and moving around on their bed. We must of only had an hours sleep so not ideal.
