Lovely old pub
A classic pub, the building is old but it is a lovely place to stay, 2 minute walk from the starcross train station. (which also has the ferry to Exmouth)
The room was clean, bright and comfortable and the owners are very accommodating. Would happily stay here again

Very happy with our stay. Extension lead was faulty but that was the only issue. Beds were comfortable and room did what we asked of it. Loved the generous amount of milk available for the coffees in the morning

A good room with comfy bed. It would have been good to have the option of a breakfast though.

Bed was comfortable and room appeared clean etc. However, the room advertised as having a restaurant and WiFi available. Restaurant was closed and there was no WiFi at all in the room I stayed in.
It did the job for one night away somewhere but I wouldn't go back or recommend to others.

At check in the lady was very friendly. She showed us to our room. It was clean. The beds were comfortable but the spray air freshener kept waking my older son up. O. The email thing it said check out at 11am but in the room it said 10am. So we left at 10am but we were not told what to do with the he keys to our room.

Not the best but stayable
I'll start with the positives the bed was comfy, bedding was clean. I booked a room for me to share with my brother, unfortunately they only had a bouble bed available so we had to share. We're both tall guys but still had plenty of room.
It was only for the night so we made the best of it.
The wifi was ridiculous, couldn't get a decent signal inside the building. The TV was tiny and dusty. The room itself pretty much only fit the bed and two tiny bedside tables. The rest of the room was clean though.
The music from the pub was loud but they stopped the music pretty early so I can't really complain about that. We spent ages trying to find somewhere to eat because their kitchen was closed. I work in a pub so I know it cant always be helped.
The woman that checked us in was nice and friendly and the pub itself had a friendly atmosphere with the few people in there. Weirdly they seemed a bit reserved with us. Got a few funny looks from the other guests. My brother doesn't look much like me so I hope wasn't anything to do with homophobia as we often get confused as a couple.
Overall this could be an ok stay. Bit pricey for what we got but if you just need a bed and a drink its not a bad choice.
