The Park Hotel

Excellent room and hotel in general with pleasant staff however the food was very poor. Four star hotel but only offering poorly cooked pub food such as F&C, Scampi, Burgers, roast of the day etc.. nothing adventurous, no pasta, curries, no fresh fish although a few miles from the sea except fried cod from The North East I guess. It’s a fair walk to the next restaurant (a hotel) and we saw a Wetherspoons in Barnstaple which we didn’t fancy. We ended up on our last night of three collecting a sandwich from a garage and it was nicer than the previous nights F&C…. I hate writing a poor review as the staff were trying so hard and the hotel is excellent in all other aspects but someone at an executive level made the menu decision as apparently there used to be a bistro…..At 4* hotel prices one aspects 4* food to be available . I should have checked the web a bit closer I expect. Also be aware breakfast closes at 9.00am weekdays (9.30am weekends) and when you’re on a break you need a bit more leeway. It’s an expensive “full English” at £17 and then offered Eggs Benedict at a £3 supplement that’s ludicrous. I suppose we are classed as elderly and so expect everything we need on site and not to have to drive for meals.

Clean, efficient, well equipped room. Would like to have seen more variety on the breakfast buffet. Hotel lacked some facilities I’d hope for from its rating such as a pool, gym but no problem. Staff were overall pleasant and helpful. Good parking and charging facilities and opposite a nice park.

Very nice hotel, friendly staff, good location, plenty of free parking, great breakfast (gluten free breakfast was the best, good to be able to eat nearly everything on the buffet & the cooked option) Only stayed one night due to quick visit to see relatives but will be back and will definitely stay longer.

Absolutely perfect, staff are so friendly and the place was immaculate!

What a beautiful hotel, can’t fault my stay. Lovely staff, great restaurant with huge choices and bright clean bedroom and bathroom. Highly recommended.
