Victoria, United Kingdom

Very accommodating to our child. The pub had high chairs and a children’s menu.

Paige, United States of America

The family room wasn't huge for three people, but it suited us just fine. Lots of parking, which we appreciated, and no road noise even though you are close to main roads. Very good breakfast, but the lack of internet was problematic for us.

Sarah, United States of America

Friendly,helpful staff. Good food and drink (needs Stella though) great location especially for the airport.

Lynn, United Kingdom

Rooms are a good size, the food at the put is outstanding and they have real ale! Perfect!

The location was good as taking my daughter to Exeter University and it was a 10 minute onward journey in the morning. Room was aesthetically pleasant and the food in the pub was good.

Food poor, quantity not quality. Service indifferent, no style. Fish Pie was mainly left over smoked fish, not flaked or pin boned, bones present, or skinned, I could go on, but poor chef-Ing. Staff seemed on edge, we’re uncommunicative and not friendly. Feel sorry for young barman if he is trying to take up a career in catering. He needs somewhere that knows what they are doing.

I hadn't realised that the rooms were right next to the car park. Our particular room had no windows and no wardrobe. There is nowhere to walk near the hotel. Considering that breakfast was extra, it was not great value for money.
The staff were friendly. It's close to major routes.

Breakfast should have been included in the price at booking with price adjustment. There is no other negative comment to make.
The breakfast full English was excellent. Location of Pub very good. Regarding the staff; Nothing was too much trouble, my requirements were more than satisfactory. The Chef Simon, is also excellent and has a very good choice with his menu's and he will talk readily with the customers. The Bar-staff were very informative regarding their knowledge about the beers, etc that they sell. Cleaning staff I must say exceeded my expectations, Emilie (sorry if I got the name spelling wrong she is very caring) Too many things and happy staff, the banter is good, another good and helpful person was Helena.
