The hotel offers clean and comfortable rooms, but noise could be an issue. The location is convenient for exploring North Devon, with easy access to the beach. The dining experience is good, but improvements could be made in accessibility for guests.

5.4/10

The hotel's location near Bideford Bridge allows easy access to the town center, but unfortunately, it suffers from extremely noisy traffic, making it challenging to get a good night's sleep. The rooms are small with outdated furniture and an old-colored bath suite, and the high cost doesn't even cover breakfast.

Rooms

5.0

The rooms near reception were paper thin, leading to a noisy experience. The outdated furniture and small size made the stay less comfortable.

Service

7.0

Although there was no specific comment, the overall service was satisfactory.

Location

I stayed at this hotel for a break with gorgeous meals. The room was lovely and big, but it was still too hot to stay in and only had a small fan for cooling, making it feel like sleeping outside McDonalds.

Location

The hotel's location was right in the heart of Bideford on the banks of the river Torridge, making it very close to the old bridge and a short walk to the beach.

Dining

7.0

The dining experience was rather nice, but I felt there could have been more of a choice. However, the organic products were a nice touch.

The hotel had great facilities, and I particularly enjoyed the variety for both adults and children in the dining options.
