Staff very helpful, Pub is closed on Monday and Tuesday, but there is one more pub in the village. Both do really good foord. Room met our expectations as we needed a central base to tour aroud Devon. Chulmleigh is a small village, but there are many other facilities available within a drive. Good breakfast.

We had a fabulous breakfast cooked for us on day 2 by a chef/builder working on-site. Very good team work happening here for sure.

On the first morning, we were sent to 'The Dairy' just across the road which was good considering the owner's wife was poorly & he was struggling on his own to provide food & drinks. We were the only guests staying at the time so we understood due to the struggle so many of our businesses are having across the country the expense implications of employing staff to serve only 2 guests. Support this hotel 100% for working so hard to keep their business open despite the struggle they are up against.

Felt that for unserviced rooms the rooms were overpriced.

Great location in the middle of town. Pub was great, ate dinner and breakfast there and it was fabulous.

A lovely bed

The breakfast was a huge let down, bread ,bread or bread white,brown or croissant. No fruit or yogurt. Cereal was rice crispies or coco pops!!!!Hard to call that offering a continental breakfast. The waiter was charming and apologetic but couldn't find plates so had saucer for my toast.Only tea available initially was Earl Grey until caretaker arrived and found breakfast tea. Also my booking was for £180 with booking. com but had to pay £200,not sure why

Lovely room and bathroom, clean and comfortable

It was disappointing that the pub closed early and dinner was not available! I have never heard that we close early because of the electricity and heating.

The breakfast was good in both places. At the old dairy and the hotel.

The bedroom was spacious and the bed was comfortable, the shower was powerful but it was hard to set the right temperature. breakfast was great on the first morning but very poor on the second morning with the worst poached eggs I have ever seen

Attitude of the barmaid and the local customers not good at all. No parking space when restaurant was open in the evenings. Noise and loud music late at night while trying to sleep after a long tiring day! All in all, not a nice experience. Well over priced, in fact it was taking the p#ss knowing what we know now. Went home a day earlier than planned due to location and unfriendly locals!

Comfortable bed and nice bathroom!

Pub was closed all the time we were there, no staff, no other guests, empty building. Couldn’t get any food, there was no information about pub being closed. No hot water when we got there, no heating at all, very cold in the mornings. Breakfast 9am which was too late for us so didn’t wait around. Mattresses in very poor condition, could feel the springs on the single bed.

Nothing

Everything

Breakfast on Sunday was good but we didn’t get breakfast or even a coffee on the Monday as the pub part was shut and it was 8.10 in the morning so we had to leave with no breakfast There were dead flies on the window ledge in the room The restaurant menu was nothing like it was shown on the website. There were about 4 choices of meals and the rest were pizzas!!!! There was a party on until 2am on Saturday night with VERY LOUD music blasting out so we couldn’t sleep. It was a very horrible experience and ruined our weekend

Just to be told where to go for breakfast, this is not a dislike as I think it's a fantastic idea to use the local cafe , it helps small businesses, Even if a note on the bottom door to say go to the cafe .

Was made to feel very welcome, would highly recommend to anyone

Stayed in room 4, the bed & duvet are so soft, we slept great. Also the best shower at any accommodation we have stayed at. Had the vegetarian lasagne on arrival, superb. Breakfast was also great. Even though no vegetarian option on the menu they cooked me a great filling vegetarian breakfast.

I was overcharged by £30 pounds even when I showed the person in charge my booking.com reservation. She just shrugged her shoulders and said I will have to claim it back from booking.com.

The room was nice

Need to fix the curtains and the entrance outside of the pub

The staff

Sadly the bed was *very* soft - to the extent I felt I might have rolled out. Personal preference is a far firmer bed, but at least one of the double rooms has a cloud for a bed!

As good as the last time I stayed, was in a different room, lovely location and services
