For the price of the room I felt it was outdated. We got woken up when the sun come up due to no blackout curtains or blinds. Shower didn't drain properly and went cold during my shower. The room wasnt cleaned properly found receipts from previous guest. The breakfast was awful over cooked left in food warmers. Eggs was like rubber hashbrowns was like cardboard.

Horrible experience in this hotel. We chose this hotel because of the location, we thought it will be a relaxing weekend, but it ended up far from it. Golf players are the worst. In the early morning they are parking right under the windows in front of the building, if the window is open, it is impossible to sleep after 7am. The hotel could easily make sure what only hotel guest can park in front of the hotel. but they seem not to care.
Also some guests are smoking under the windows, so the smell penetrates into the room. During our last night, at 3AM some crazy or drunk neighbor heavily knocked his door for 15 minutes until someone came ( probably night manager). And finally the cherry on the top, in the morning we have no light and no water. "Enjoy" your stay!

Hotel in a lovely area with nice views over the golf course. But the rooms are basic. My room was too hot, no Aircon or fan and constant door banging from 5am which shakes the room each time. The staff are friendly.didnt try the food

The rooms are lovely and spacious just not quite luxurious enough to warrant 5 stars. Service at the reception desk and bar was good, however the staff could have been a lot more helpful at breakfast time. My advice is to get an early breakfast. The location was perfect for us - just on the edge of Dartmoor. This might be too remote for some.

Staff friendly and helpful. Treatment okay but not as good as I have had elsewhere. Not all facilities open. Nothing special, expected more for a spa day. Food good. Had to walk a long way to get a drink.

Booked a spa day for myself and my bridesmaids. Not quiet what I was expecting for such a lovely venue. Used the swimming pool but unfortunately other facilities were too busy and didn't have time to wait due to facials booked in. The facial was lovely but unfortunately had to wash my hair straight away as she didn't cover my hair and got oil in my hair. We had afternoon tea which was really disappointing, had to remind the staff that we were still waiting for our coffee and due to a wedding we had to sit in the normal bar area which wasn't ideal with trying to have a relaxing time.
I was pre warned that we would be in a different area due to the wedding but didn't expect to put sat in a bar with drinkers. When you pay over 140 for a spa day I expected to feel at least a little bit pamperd.

Quiet a disappointing stay! When you pay over 130.00 per night, you expect the room to be amazing, but it was far from that! Decor is very dated, the furniture is old fashioned but not antique. The tiles in the bathroom were awful! Breakfast was buffet style and staff grumpy. I have had far better experiences in B&B's at a fraction of the price. It was supposed to be a nice treat, but it really wasn't.
