Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was great overall. The room was clean and spacious, offering good value for the price, although it was smaller than expected. The staff was extremely helpful and friendly, even going out of their way to get me a laptop power lead. The location was ideal for exploring Tavistock and the surrounding area, with easy access to shops and the market. The dining experience was enjoyable with a good variety of choices on the menu. Despite the warm room, the hotel's facilities were well-kept and convenient.
The hotel is located right in the heart of Tavistock, making it easy to explore the town on foot. However, the rooms can be a bit noisy at night due to traffic from the main road, and they are on the smaller side. The service provided was friendly and helpful, creating a lovely atmosphere at the hotel. The dining experience, although charged extra, was inconsistent in quality. Despite these drawbacks, the hotel's location is fantastic for those wanting to be in the hustle and bustle of Tavistock.
The hotel has a delightful room with a fabulous bed and shower, offering a gorgeous view of the Town Hall. Despite being above a public toilet leading to noise from the hand dryer, it was still a good stay for my friend.
