"We stayed in a ground floor twin room at the Cromwell Arms during the heatwave of July 2026.
The room was pleasant, the beds comfortable. Whilst there was an additional heater in the wardrobe, a fan would have been gratefully received.
Breakfast was plentiful and delicious. All the staff we encountered were helpful and pleasant.
Overall a good place to stay."
"Avoid, avoid, avoid. Quite possibly the worst place I have stayed.
It's not 'normal pub noise', it's club music from 15years ago playing until around midnight. No soundproofing.
Room was filthy, hairs on top of the bed (didn't lift the quilt to see what was underneath); floor hadn't been vacuumed, was dirty and heavily stained: toilet hadn't been flushed, let alone cleaned, whatever was in there had been festering for what looked like a week. No air con and no fan in the room.
Room felt...
"Beautiful position at base of Haytor Rocks. Parking easy and plenty of room inside and outside no matter what the weather. Staff great. Would recommend try and book with breakfast included. Likely to be a better deal. It is a shame the hotel has yet to install an electric charging point. There is one at an adjacent tourist facility but out or order. Other than that great!"
"Very chilled place. Great staff and food. Lovely beech and amazing views.
We have been in winter time but first time in the summer. Totally recommend it."
