the building itself is so historic, yet warm and comfortable, the bar cosy, the drinks and evening meal were superb (and reasonably priced too

inclusive breakfast is a full english and you are able to customise the bits you do/don't want which is nice

lovely welcoming log burner in the bar which was lovely on a cold wet afternoon

upgraded our booking from a family room to a two bedroom cottage with a kitchen because we had a dog with us, perfect

walk up the hill was a bit challenging when we left the car outside a local bar after drinking, but it was good fun and very safe

didn t experience gym or

used the hydra pool

lovely garden area and parking spots close to the cottage

the hotel caters for families and our cottage was next door to the bar area where we had breakfast and dinner both nights

we live in paignton but love babackmbe and any opportunities we have someone to look after the kids would absolutely wish to choose

good to have permission to bring our dog kitchen well stocked, although teflon is comingoff both frying pans - its toxic

staff, early check in and parking

kitchen was great - a range, belfast sink, and really well equipped - the only self catering place

when my kids were a bit hungry at the end of the day, the innkeeper helped us find a place that delivered

we're clean and comfortable, toilet was clean and nice shower, wifi was free and tv was good u could log into your own account for prime etc, staff were friendly

soiled broken out dated bed with springs sticking out, tv that wasn't even connected to the wifi, a window that wouldn't close and to top it off 'house rules' you have to sign so you really

good location and bed was comfy decent wifi

the parking was a bit odd there always seemed to be a white car taking up the front of the hotel

everywhere outside also not to mention we had to park on the street as there wasn't any parking spaces

welcone, nicely decorated, fully equipped kitchen

on the other side of the road gave us access to many locations without the hassle of driving and parking

catering not having to get up early for breackfast or cleaners laundry

parking

didn't get to use the laundry service but is good to know for future stays

spa was lovely and relaxing excellent facilities

the pool, good size too shame we couldn't use the changing rooms as they should be used due to covid

the staff were really helpful and nice, the room was great and so was the food and they have 2 x ev chargers so all in all perfect for me

really, but the two bed apartment is more suitable for family stays, but as an adults only venue, i would recommend staying in the main hotel

gym, spa and pool are all a good size for a medium size hotel and spa and the facilities in gym and

that i forgot my gym trainers.

breakfast was excellent and also reasonable bar food

kids loved the waffle maker and nutella pump at breakfast

gym wasn t open until 10am

gym, was extremely basic i think adding a few weights within this facility would have increased my

the view from the bar area was amazing

we booked an early check in that was well worth it

hydrotherapy pool in the spa was excellent on a rainy day

only thing the pool was a little expensive at 10 pp on each occasion we used it.

friendly staff, great breakfast and comfortable beds
