The hotel offers a mix of experiences. The rooms are a bit small and could use some improvement, but they are clean and tidy. The service is friendly with a nice touch of a welcome drink. The location is excellent for exploring the Taw Valley and the North Devon Coast. The dining options are varied and well-presented. Overall, a good value for money stay with some room for enhancement.

The location is breath-taking, making it a great base for exploring the beautiful Exmoor National Park. However, being on a noisy junction was not ideal as the garden/patio was right next to it.
