Exellent. Beautiful room

Beautiful building and inside as well. Modern and warm. Staff were friendly and helpful. We had a late checkout which was very good. Parking close to the hotel as well for free.

Walls were very thin, we were only taking and having the tv on and people complained.

Cheeky get away for 2

We asked for a quiet room and got upgraded. The bedroom was very clean and the bed was comfortable. Our shower was top notch. Basically loved the whole room. All the staff were nice and polite and the barman has good knowledge of places to eat.

We cannot fault the hotel or its staff.

Really enjoyed our stay made better by the friendly and helpful staff.

Breakfast was really good, dinner menu a bit restricted but really good and well presented. Very impressed that our disabled parking bay was exclusively reserved for the whole of our stay.

Thoroughly enjoyable.

The breakfast was excellent; I especially enjoyed the porridge. The staff were very considerate of the fact that I have mobility problems, I have a severely arthritic knee, for which I was very grateful.

A minor point but I felt a small descriptive pamphlet about the hotel would have been useful.

Horrible

Nothing

Car parking - if you own a vehicle which is expensive or your pride & joy don't stay here, the car parking facilities are horrendous. The room service provided food which was barely warm. The hotel is covered in scaffolding & netting, so, if you stay during the week you're going to have workmen peering through your windows. The whole experience was terrible, certainly no recommendations - keep well away it's awful !!!

The food/restaurant in house were excellent. The breakfast in particular was very good . The staff were very welcoming and helpful and the location was perfect for Barnstable. The room was very comfortable, but a little small, but given the cost I cannot complain

Great location lovely staff but wouldn't stay again because didn't sleep well

The staff are very friendly the restaurant next door is nice and the location is great. Had a fan in the cupboard which was appreciated

The downstairs is all nice but my room was very dated with lots of wear and tear, no socket by the bed and when searching for a socket all behind the bed is full of dust so looks like never gets a complete clean, which isn't particularly nice sleeping next to, bed was a bit hard, didn't have breakfast cos at £15 plus £5 extra to the room think that is to much. For the price of the room I think it could have been nicer but the main thing that I didn't enjoy was the level of noise could hear people running above my room a lot late at night, and in the morning no chance of a sleep in as the cleaners hanging around bashing around outside the room hoovering chatting very noisy.

Comfortable overnight stay.

Clean and comfortable with friendly staff. Nice breakfast in the morning.

Had a noisy kitchen vent right outside our window, but it did shutdown about 10pm. Was able to use the hotel carpark, but was very tight. Wouldn’t like to be late in with a larger vehicle.

Superb

A fantastic hotel that had real charm to go with its up to date furnishings. We very much enjoyed our stay here and would love to use this hotel again.

Getting our bags from the carpark to our room was an effort, but a minor inconvenience, and a trade off against the hotel's location, which was excellent.
