underwhelming stay

blocked heating system dog hair

the room was clean. i found the staff to be friendly and helpful.

The heating system seemed blocked. I couldn't adjust the temperature. this made the room quite cold at night. i also noticed some dog hair on the bedsheets, a surprise since the room wasn't supposed to allow pets.

Excellent Stay

ideal location good price helpful team short drive

The location was ideal and the price was good for a night! Food was available at the pub on site and I found it great. The reception team were both helpful and friendly, ready to assist. I really enjoyed exploring the surrounding area. I found the Cremyll ferry over the Tamar to Plymouth just a short drive away.

The facilities in the suite are slightly below average. The bedside area lacked a convenient place to put a cup!

The heating could not be controlled, and it showed as 'blocked' on the display. This meant the room became cold during the night. I informed the staff, but they could not fix it promptly.
