    Unfortunately the Hunters Inn feels like it is in chaos mode. Maintenance needs doing, the bar was only half stocked, breakfast wasn't good (surely not difficult) and other people told us they had heard it was closing

    The staff were friendly, slept well, and plenty of space to park. Beautiful location

    We were literally the last couple to stay there as it was being handed over to new management on the Monday. As such food and beer stocks were being run low so choice was limited. Staff were magnificent considering most were being laid off on the Mon

    Superb location, very friendly staff

    The carpet in the whole hotel was dirty. Half of the food and drinks of the menu were not available. Of our 5 days stay the first two days the breakfast was continuously replenished inclusive croissants. The last three days it was not taking care of also without croissants.

    Spacious room, clean, coffee and tea facilities

    The food was excellent, lovely breakfasts and an amazing roast beef dinner. The staff were exceptionally friendly and eager to help with any requests. We stayed in a superior double room with a four poster bed and the bathroom with bath facing the beautiful gardens were so comfortable and luxurious that we really did not want to leave and neither did our dog.

    Lovely little haven for coastal walks away from the hustle and bustle. The menu choice was limited, no red meat options, lots of pizzas and fish. Food was very good though, and breakfast very tasty. The rear garden could do with a little tlc, but also appreciate it is early in the season. Our room was a good size to the front of the property, very comfortable with plenty of hot water for showers. We would definitely recommend a stay here and look forward to visiting again in the future. Thank you for an enjoyable stay.

    The scrambled eggs were disappointing ( but the poached eggs were fine!) Some of the items on the menu were not available but there were "specials" on the board. We would have expected a cream tea to have been available until after 3 pm and the day we managed to arrive back from our walk before 3pm.....there were no scones!!! Having told people we met that The Hunters Inn served cream teas between 12 and 3p.m we felt they ,too, might be disappointed!

    We appreciated the spacious bathroom with a bath AND a walk in shower . The walk in wardrobe was a real bonus to hide away bags and suitcases as well as accommodating clothes on hangers! It was good to have a sofa under the window for reading too in the television area. The bed was a really good size.

    The lodge was excellent, clean, warm and welcoming, the facilities were great everything you could want in your own house, the lodge has a fully fitted kitchen and two separate bathrooms , the bathroom is small but functional with a full bath and seperate shower, the lounge is comfortable but the sofas are low so I found it difficult to get up and down. The outside space is small but big enough to sit out, I think it needs a table outside for drinks. Overall a excellent and beautiful place to visit, we will definitely return.

    Look carefully at which road you take to get there. The first one from A39 is quite narrow and has tight bends, Better to go a bit further to A399 and then turn off.

    Comfortable apartment which was part of the hotel. Lovely view from the lounge window. Great for walks directly from the doorstep. The valley was gorgeous, sounds of bird song and flowing river. Definitely need your walking boots. Local taxis useful after a long walk. Nice food in the restaurant but also good facilities to cook for yourself.

    This is our 3rd visit and we chose a different room this time, the bath looking out onto the surroundings was totally luxurious, loved it! Super comfy room overall, warm and cosy for a winter stay it was perfect. The staff are all very relaxed and lovely and service on point.

    Some parts of the building are a little tired. Not a listed building but the National Trust does restrict what can be done. Has real character.

    A superb location in Nationsl Trust land. Staff were all superb. Loved the place and would happily stay here again.
