The Old Inn

First and foremost this review is not a reflection of the staff. The landlady there is extremely friendly and approachable but I must be honest with my review. I booked and paid for a room with en-suite. And paid extra for breakfast only to arrive to a shared bathroom and no restaurant or breakfast on site. The only option for dinner and food was the nearest garage that has a small Asda attached to it. I was here for work and the area is remote and I have no car so not being able to eat on site was extremely frustrating. The first night there was a pub quiz which was so loud my door was shaking, the door itself wasn’t very secure and as a solo female I didn’t feel all that safe to be honest. Again, great staff but they need to update what they offer as it’s incorrect.

We had booked our stay over a year before our visit, based on excellent reviews. We booked bed and breakfast for two nights. On arrival we were told that the property was under caretaker management and there was no longer a chef or any food available. The reviews on the quality of the meals was a key factor in making our booking in the first place. We were not offered any sort of discount or compensation for the breakfast that had been included in the price of our booking. Given we were in Devon for a wedding, our time was too limited to find alternative accommodation.

Close to the places where we were visiting. Appreciate the effort to try to keep the room comfy. It was actually clean. I understand that bedsheets and pillow cases are not always changed after each stay but the previous customer was very stinky and left strong smells on the bed sheet and pillow case. I do not blame the inn but it did ruined our comfortable feeling to the room. There’s no breakfast served as stated in the package but we didn’t mind. Expedia might need to correct this.

New land lady only been in 6 weeks and bringing in good ideas. Clean tidy and did what it said in the advert No breakfast though that was advertised in advert

Apparently the pub changed hands 2 weeks ago and a few teething problems were evident which the lady who greeted us did her best to rectify which was nice but still a bit dissapointed with our stay. The wifi did not work but we have unlimited data so not a big problem. The first room we were given had a dedicated bathroom across the hall .. but had a broken bed so we were moved to a second room - the mattress in that room was super soft and a little uncomfortable but not a big problem though the “ensuite” bathroom was extremely small and the door handle was broken. We asked to borrow an iron - there wasn’t one in the property so the lady was good enough to get one from the local Tesco so that was really nice of her. There was no sign of any breakfast on either of the two mornings of our stay (though we had booked bed and breakfast) and the pub was closed before 10:30 on both nights of our stay (mid week). The bedroom was clean and airy. So in summary a little dissapointing
