“I found the hotel to be exceptionally welcoming, particularly its remarkable embrace of canine companions, offering dedicated grounds and thoughtful amenities that made our four-legged friends feel truly at home. The spacious rooms and extensive grounds, which lead to the River Taw, proved delightful for both relaxation and exploration. It's clear a genuine effort is made to ensure a comfortable and well-catered stay for everyone.”
