Pros

Free on-site parking with accessible spaces and an electric vehicle charging station.

High-quality pocket-spring mattresses provide comfortable sleep in recently refurbished rooms.

Friendly and responsive staff, particularly manager Erica, who goes above and beyond for guests.

Convenient location near the M5 and major attractions like Powderham Castle and Dartmoor National Park.

Cons

No bar or restaurant currently open on site; dining options require travel to nearby pubs or cafes.

Some rooms experience audible road noise from the adjacent A38, though double glazing mitigates it.

“This establishment presents a surprising value, particularly given its convenient proximity to the airport and motorway, and the genuinely comfortable beds are a consistent highlight. The presence of robust air conditioning and ample free parking really does make a tangible difference, especially when the weather turns. It feels like a sensible, no-frills choice for a practical stay where straightforward comfort and accessibility are key.”
