    Over priced for essentially quite a basic room and a terrible shower - very weak

    It was clean and functional

    Nothing.

    Very nice breakfast. Excellent location in town center. Room was good. Very historic. Staff was great. Hotel had a nice, comfortable "vibe". Right across the street from the market, close to the canal and river.

    Stairs to room on top floor.Lift down to car park also out of action. Towel Rail not heating in bathroom Bathroom lights flickering. Lack of clarity about ingredients used in breakfast menu. Chilli added to breakfast Avocado on toast without being declared on menu and total lack of clarity about the presence of egg in foods to which l am allergic.Having to ask each time ,does this contain egg ? and then waiting for the answer is tedious and takes the pleasure out of eating.

    Location Friendliness of staff / especially Reception. Cleanliness and atmosphere of public rooms

    The bathroom was looking tired, the shower screen was damaged. The passage ways could do with a lick of paint. No iron in the room.

    The breakfast was great. Staff were very helpful. Location was ideal for getting around Tavistock. Nice old world charm.

    Maybe more choice of snack/ small bite foods. I think I may need to ask for a ground floor room for future stays.

    Location excellent as central to the town. Breakfast excellent service and choice of foods. Evening meals great service and choice of foods.

    Lovely and efficient staff let down by cost and a poor breakfast.

    The first issue I had was the price of car parking....an overnight charge of £8 was, in my opinion, extortionate. I finished off my evening with a glass of red wine which was delicious but did not represent good value at £9. Yes....£9 for a glass of wine. In the morning I opted for the Full Devon Breakfast and I have to say that it was, visually, very disappointing. A great many beans to fill the plate accompanied by half a slice of black pudding, half a rasher of bacon (which was overdone and therefore extremely difficult to cut), half a mushroom and a hard poached egg. I didn't want tomato....perhaps, by way of compensation, I was given extra beans?

    My room was relatively small but absolutely fine for one person. The bathroom and shower were great except that the shower cubicle really does need a shelf or somewhere to put the supplied shampoo etc. whilst showering.

    The bedroom was only moderate-sized and had little view through its rather high window; only one chair..

    Very spacious and comfortable public rooms.. Good breakfast. Dinner of ample size. Some period features - long-case clocks, good paintings and prints on the walls. Adjacent to remains of the old Benedictine abbey, as well as very close to the church, covered daily market and an interesting and free exhibition on (especially mining) history.

    The facilities are fine, but the maintenance team do need to check over the rooms carefully. Our shower screen had seen better days and the bathroom door sometimes didn’t close properly.

    The property is in an excellent location. Shops and restaurants are within a few minutes walk. The hotel is also a beautiful old building, however this does mean that there is no lift and there are a lot of stairs. Overall though, a lovely hotel.

    The radiators were a tad warm, but we were able to turn them down and vent the room. It was an unusually warm spring day! We have no complaints about the hotel though, it was beautiful.

    The hotel is a beautiful example of what a traditional hotel should look be like. Our room had a very comfortable four poster bed and good bathroom facilities.
