Good Points: The breakfast was really good with a fantastic view over the Dart. The restaurant staff were very good, friendly and helpful. The food was great and to a degree made up for the negative points of the stay. There were some nice touches in the room, such as complimentary wine, water and a jug of fresh milk. Bad Points: They wouldn't entertain the idea of letting me check in before 2PM. As I had a wedding to go to at 1.30, this was quite inconvenient. Especially as they wouldn't let me leave my bag anywhere and offered me the restaurant toilet to change in. I could understand this if the room was £40, but it was £125! I suppose I should have read the small print better, but its not really a lot to ask is it? The accommodation is a 5 to 10 minute walk from the restaurant which is where you check in. This isn't really made clear. There are no staff members at the accommodation, which is the address given when I booked - you access it with a swipe card. So when I arrived, I had to telephone the restaurant to ask if I could get access. The room I had was reasonably sized and the whole building has been renovated and the intention appears to be for it to have a luxury feel. This is only a surface job though. The furnishings, especially my bed, are quite cheap. Most of the stuff looked like it had come from Matalan. The bathroom was small with a pathetic shower. A small fridge had been plonked on the floor and I ended up turning this off in the night as it was so noisy. The room was boiling and as there is no aircon, I tried to open the window which opens about an inch at the top and bottom. A fan had been installed with a massive industrial looking extension cable dumped on the bedside table. General review: Definitely not worth the money. I have stayed in better hotels for one third of the price.
