Very poor

Nice setting, but disappointing service and price gouging. Not a good choice for travelers without a car.

Location is very picturesque. Good walks if the weather cooperates. Spacious bathrooms with heated floors. Decent sauna and pool.

Food was extremely pricey for the low selection and quality. Feel that they are egregiously price gouging because of the remote location. I was ill during my stay, and the staff could accommodate me with any more palatable food options. We asked for some broth, and the kitchen couldnt manage it. We asked for a couple yogurts (included on the continental breakfast) in the evening since I hadnt eaten all day, and the staff ignored the request. Somehow we ended up spending $1000 USD on food alone for the two of us for a 4 night stay! Christmas Dinner was decent, but expect Michelin star prices for a fraction of the quality. I wanted some over the counter medicine and they didnt have any to sell and the nearest pharmacy was a 45 minute walk away. In this setting youd expect the staff to go out of their way to help a guest over the Christmas holiday, traveling abroad with no car. They could have easily made my experience a very positive one with more attentive service.

Very good

I think of this belonged to a group like The Pig it would be marvellous place.

Loved the location on the furnishings and decoration of the building.

Some of the staff seem to be not used to being in front of house. Good young barman behind the bar and I was a very good waitress, but some of the staff seemed very poorly trained.

A Lovely Stay

This was our second time we have stayed here and we love it just as much as the first time! Bedrooms are absolutely gorgeous Bathroom facilities are just fabulous The decoration and interior is just superb - I love the detail. Its just fab, the detail is something to really look out for! location is marvelous, we have such lovely walks to Salcombe. Its just a real opportunity to get away from everyday life and enjoy the peace and quiet.

It was our minimoon and just a little card or a welcome back card or something nice would have gone a really long way. Its the little touches that make such difference. We had booked a table for breakfast for both mornings at 9:00 via email and booked dinner on the Monday evening but that had never got picked up which was disappointing. Seems there maybe a lack of communication from reservations team because it also happened the first time we arrived last year. The food - wow, its expensive! 32 for a chicken pie & mash (that's literally it) is disappointing and it wasn't the best tasting either! The roast dinner we had on the Sunday was so good but the second night meal was not great. A LOT of money for what it is, the hotel is a fab spot for walkers etc.. use that to your advantage, don't be this hard trying hotel when people are going to dinner in their walking gear. I personally think they have it all wrong! SPA - Not great compared to last time. There were kids in and out of the sauna and steam (which we thought we could get away from the noise in the swimming pool but no such luck) I appreciate kids being in the pool but it was far from relaxing.
