The bathroom was tired and needs upgrading. The shower in the bath was difficult to access because of our age. Although we were there for a three night stay the towels were not changed and when we questioned this at reception we were told they are only changed if requested and there was a problem with staff shortage. The waste bin was not emptied for the whole stay although it was full and the cups/coffee/ tea were not replaced. We expected much better for the price we paid.

I really wanted to give this a glowing review as there was much to like, however overall my experience was terrible. I stayed off season, but breakfast is not served until 7.30am during weekdays, which was too late as I had to be out by then, making it virtually useless for anyone who is working. However the hotel were very accommodating and credited my breakfast against the evening meal. The evening meal was very pleasant but as the restaurant was busy (Pancake Day) it was slow. The room on the lowest level (107) was cold. It had night storage heaters so I presumed it would warm up but it didn't. Again not a massive issue as I would prefer to be cool than too hot. However my shower was a non existent drip. When I got up in the morning at 6.30 for a shower it was not possible as there was no water. I was told the borehole had dried up but this really left me disappointed. I discussed this with reception and as it was early they took it away to deal with it. They offered a full refund which was agreeable, however over a week later I have checked Expedia and my Credit Card and there is no credit applied, so I have been left feeling let down again. I have tried calling and emailing to resolve without any luck. I need to stay in South Devon every month for the next 15 months but I will have to look for somewhere that can meet the basic needs of a traveller. The school report says "could do better"
