Nice little bed and breakfast place. One of these old buildings where the stairs are narrow and the…read morefloor is far from straight. The staff was very friendly and the room was clean. I got a room in the attic which was very cozy and felt more like a guest room in someone's house than a hotel room. Slight minus that the hot & cold water was in separate taps and the shower was hand-hold only. Though it ads charm, it also makes it feel a little dated. The breakfast was 5* and their restaurant is mentioned in the Michelin guide. That's definitely beyond the basic B&B food you'd expect. Another minus is that Wifi is an extra £8/day, but lots of hotels charge for that in Europe.

I had a simple ham, egg and chips. Sorry, used the word simple but this was not your standard fayre. The eggs were free range and the ham just melted in the mouth. Normally a bit of chewing is needed but this ham, as i have said, melted. Lovely pub to finish off the day having wandered around this interesting village/hamlet.

The Old Inn is a large, recently refurbished brewery pub. It has a mixture of small dining rooms…read moreand larger eating areas. There is a large, attractive beer garden and parking at the rear. The smaller rooms have some charm but the larger area could be any plastic pub. I visited The Old Inn on a Thursday in May with a couple of friends after a long and tiring day. I had recommended it after a pleasant previous visit made better by Munich Hofbrau on tap. When we arrived in the pub at 10pm and ordered a round there wasn't anyone else in there. About 20 minutes later the manager turned the music off which struck us as a little odd. At 10.30pm we went to the bar to get another round before the bell rang for last orders. Our simple, "Same again please," was met with an abrupt, "We're shut," from the manager. We left. And went to the Rugglestone Inn down the road.

Setting = Moorland edge Food = Crafted to a higher level Staff= Performed their tasks with precision _ I only drank water, as it was a long way to drive and I wasn't going to drink. Yet like magic just as my glass emptied, they would re-fill it. I have to say I drank my water glass dry many times as it was such fun watching them fill it up again! The food did taste special _ not only the taste, but the texture, goodness knows what sort of sieve they used to get things so smooth. And some of the dishes were feats of engineering. I think I was just enjoying being delighted. Another nice thing was I especially didn't dress up smartly just to see how the staff would behave towards me. And hats- off-to- them...they treated us exceptionally well; which inwardly made me giggle as we both were wearing our 'Star-Trek' T shirts that day. I would recommend going to Gidleigh which falls under the auspices of Michael Caines the chef and not the Cockney Actor (Sir Michael Caine). SAVE UP and go, just the once it is worth the trip, I promise! March 2010 We returned. Our Expectations were higher this year based on 2009. Somehow it does represent good value for money. Even today the impression they made on me is glowing! I would urge anyone to make an effort and get out to Chagford. Gidleigh is on my list of Top things to do for ultimate pleasure. January 2011 The food was highly enjoyable. It is still a worthwhile trip you will not be disappointed. See photos...

This is the ultimate escape…read more The manual to using this resort is extremely simple: get here by horse. Contact the hotel to arrange this. If you can't ride horses, a helicopter may be a good alternative. For those of us not reading the manual, remember that you'll be driving on 10 feet wide roads lined by thick, 600-years old oak hedges. They are enlisted cultural heritage and protected by UNESCO. In other words, it's exactly the same roads people used 600 years ago. Quite an experience. No matter what your GPS says, a car journey form Exeter will take you at least 3 hours. The hotel operates time slots for alternating directions of traffic - check your arrival time with them. If you are coming for dinner only, time planning is even more crucial. Quite rightly, the butler will simply not let you skip courses. They will be served in the intended order without exception. In the case of an 8-course dinner, expect it to last until 11 pm. Whether you arrive on a horse or dig your own tunnel, you haven't lived until you come here.

The Premier Inn "experience" is one of comfortable rooms, quiet (no noisy slamming doors!) and with black out curtains. The result is a great night's sleep. The next day we enjoyed the hot buffet breakfast, featuring everything from sausages, hash browns and eggs to Porridge, Toast, Fruit, Crumpets and more. It was really tasty! The hotel is located directly on the sea front and a few minutes walk from town. Free Wi-Fi is provided throughout the hotel, and Premium Wi-Fi (to watch streaming movies, etc) is available for a reasonable £5 per day. I can't think of a single fault with our stay, and I'd happily stay here again!

This was like a beautiful summer day following a cold, dark night. The building was built in the 1860s and carries much of its original charm while serving a new purpose.
