    Very good
    7.0

    The Deluxe King Room offered a decent amount of space, good natural light, and a well-placed electric heater to keep warm during our stay. The scenic views from the windows added a nice touch, creating a pleasant environment to unwind.

    Finding the hotel proved to be a bit of a challenge, as TomTom led us astray, so make sure to scout your route in advance. The parking situation is limited to just four spots across a narrow lane, making it tricky if you’re arriving during peak hours. In the Deluxe Family Suite, the standard of the room was lacking—radiators flaking, cracks on the window ledge, and one of the windows jammed. The dinner menu was more upscale than expected, with fewer choices than one might prefer, leading to a less satisfying meal experience. there was loud music and late-night revelry due to the staff celebrating, which detracted from the evening’s relaxation.

    delicious dinner
    substantial breakfast
    friendly staff
    secluded location
    messy admin

    The dinner menu was a proper treat, chock full of tasty delights that had me drooling! The brekkie was no less, hearty and packed to set you off for a day on the Devon trails. the staff were always friendly, making you feel right at home.

    Finding the place was a bit of a faff, and the parking situation had me sweating a bit. It'd be nice if they sorted out the admin mess near the bar during busy mornings.

    spacious family suite
    comfortable beds
    lengthy check-in

    great stay but minor hiccup

    The layout of the family suite offered excellent space for our children. The beds were very comfortable which made for a good night's sleep.

    The check-in process took longer than expected, which caused some frustration.

    would like to go back there again

    The deluxe family suite was nice, with a big private bathroom and comfy beds. Amenities included a flat-screen TV, tea/coffee maker, and good heating. The location was remote, great for a quiet night. Breakfast was hearty with fresh options. Friendly staff helped make the stay pleasant and welcoming. The bar area was cozy and relaxing after a day out.

    excellent value
    prompt service

    It was just a perfect match for a relaxing holiday in Oakford with excellent value for money. The heavy glass shower door in the Deluxe King Room had a little issue but the staff promptly addressed it. Make sure to check all amenities upon arrival.

    cozy fireplace
    beautiful garden
    breakfast service

    We had a lovely stay and really enjoyed the cozy fireplace in the bar along with the beautiful garden area to chill out in. The view from our room was great, but the breakfast could definitely use a bit of improvement with faster service and more options. it was a nice experience, perfect for a quick getaway! 😊
