A Nature Lover's Paradise
This hotel is surrounded by beautiful countryside and just a short walk to see massive cliffs and spectacular views. It's a great base for exploring neighbouring places, and you'll find plenty of places to walk along the countryside and along the river to Lynmouth, which is just two miles along the coastal path. It's also a great base to explore north Devon.

Dog Owners Rejoice
This country inn is dog friendly and very welcoming to your four-legged friends, yet the hotel itself remains quite clean and pleasant. You'll find plenty of scenic walks to take with your dog. If you're a dog lover, this is the place for you.

Outgoing Staff Pleases

More Wanted For Bathrooms
The bathroom facilities are bath only with a shower attachment and very little water pressure. Guests also say the bath takes a long time to fill.
negative:
Thorough Cleaning Needed
Many guests say the inn needs a good spring cleaning, from top to bottom, and especially bathrooms, carpets, and general cleanliness. Some TLC would go a long way toward improvement.
negative:
Tired Decor
Some guests feel this hotel is stuck in a bit of a time warp, as decor, especially in public areas is a bit tired. An update and a bit of modernising would be a tremendous help.
