The Brendon Arms is frequently praised for its central location, with the South West Coast Path easily accessible. Many guests appreciate the good-sized, clean rooms, some noting the modern fittings and good showers; while some rooms can get a bit warm, fans are often provided. Breakfast is a highlight, featuring a spot-on full English option, alongside fruit and juice. Free parking adds to the value, though some guests have found the food quality inconsistent at times.

the room was lovely and clean. i had a twin room looking towards the front. it was great watching people go by after my walk (i did enjoy it!). staff were both friendly and helpful.
My room was small. the bed was also small. it was hard. it was uncomfortable too. breakfast fruit salad disappeared quickly. It needed replenishing.
