Vastly superior to Travelodges though sometimes almost as cheap, or even cheaper when they offer special deals (three nights for the price of two, etc). The rooms are clean, spacious and comfortable, with plenty of storage and a superior standard of furniture and fittings. Our room had a telephone, large flat-screen TV, tea and coffee making facilities with lots of teabags, hot chocolate and fresh biscuits each day. In addition to the large bed was a plush two-seater settee. The en-suite had a large power shower and, again, the tiling and fittings were of a high standard for a budget hotel. There's a modern lift to rooms (very good disabled access), beautiful carpets and curtains, and a foyer with local information and a sweets and chocolate machine. Breakfast came free with the room rate and was served across a short walkway in the Jack Rabbit pub. It consisted of a continental-style buffet with an excellent choice of cereals, fruit juices, fresh fruit, yoghurt, breads, toast, preserves and croissants. A machine provided good quality teas or coffees. You can eat as much as you wish and there are helpful staff on hand to assist if need be. A free newspaper (Daily Mail) was also available each day. All in all, a superb value package at only £89 for 3 nights (the special offer this month)! Certainly a chain to watch - there are 200 branches around the country and more planned.

I've grown quite partial to Premier Inn over the years.

Just off the A38 from Exeter, it was perfect located just a few miles from the hospital It's right next door to a Beefeater restaurant, where the breakfasts are served. Parking can be tight in the evening due to the restaurant. An alternative for food is to nip to the large Sainsbury supermarket just across the road Check in was quick and efficient and the staff were always there with a cheerful greeting every time I walked past reception My room was large with a comfortable bed. I think they're trying to go upmarket a little with a choice of firm pillows on the bed with softer pillows available in the cupboard.

I don't have above high expectations but at £133 for 2 nights I don't expect mould, dust and a broken bed.

The owners are obviously as tired and worn out as their building so keep clear and don't believe the hype on trip advisor!

My wife and I have just returned from a short stay here, having had a longer holiday last summer…read more It is situated a few mins walk from a small cove a few miles west of Salcombe, and almost on the SW Coastal path, a really nice quiet setting. For first timers woud be not so easy to find, turning off at Malborough on the main road approaching Salcombe. Everything here exudes quality, and though it comes at a price, its worth every penny. Rooms are large , comfortable and many have sea views. Staff go out of their way to be helpful, and everything is considered down to the last detail , eg no 'plastic milk' with the tea making kit - you can ask for proper milk and it will come immediately. Also proper ground coffee and a cafetiere. But these are details. Dinner is always first class, usually with the day menu having a choice of 3 or 4 starters and mains, but there are a few extra alternatives if the day menu doesnt take your fancy. Highlight of the week is the lamb, roasted whole having been reared, killed and supplied by the Maitre d' Luis, at his local smallholding. Breakfast is also excellent. Hotel is owned by Keith Makepeace, who always makes a point of chatting with new guests at dinner time. We spent most of our time walking the coastal paths, this is the thing to do if weather is good -its about 10 miles return to Salcombe, and in opposite direction to Hope Bay

Boringdon Hall is an historic Country House Hotel with a beautifully equipped spa, located on the…read moreoutskirts of Plymouth. The house itself has a colourful history: a 16th Century Tudor Manor House that once hosted the likes of Sir Walter Raleigh, it was remodelled in the 17th Century. The owners - the Parker family - moved permanently to nearby Saltram House in the 18th Century and the house, let to farmers, slowly deteriorated. It was partly demolished around 1800, but continued to be occupied until shortly after World War II. It was restored and rebuilt as a hotel 1986-7 and restored again after a fire in 1989. The Spa is a very recent addition. It's hard to describe as a hotel without the description sounding like that of a country house. The exterior has two splendid square towers, a smaller tower enclosing the large 17th staircase, and a wealth of Tudor doorways and windows. Inside, old doors abound, but the most impressive room by far is the lounge bar, located in the Great Hall. This has an original doorway and a restored fireplace dated 1640, with the Royal Arms of Ling Charles and two huge plaster caryatids (statues) representing peace and plenty. The decorated plaster ceiling is actually a modern pastiche, as is the panelling, but the staircase incorporates genuine 17th Century fragments. Off the bar are the Brasserie restaurant (where we ate) and the first floor gallery is used for both fine dining and breakfast. There's a "secret" bar accessed through a hidden door, and a quiet rear lounge. It's all furnished with large, traditional sofas and chairs. Rooms are scattered throughout the main house, and the former outbuildings and barns. In the main house, some are large and splendid in the four poster style, other spacious and modern (in the annex), but ours, in the east wing, was a more standard modern double, as you might find in a Marriott or Holiday Inn, albeit with two foot thick stone walls. Overall, we had a very comfortable stay. The bed was fabulous, and the room had nice touches such as a jar of locally baked shortbread with the tea/coffee facilities, fresh milk, water from the hotel's own artesian well. The toiletries were lovely if strongly scented. The breakfast was a mixture of cold buffet and hot food cooked to order, with vegetarian options. Both breakfast and dinner were fine, if not outstanding. (Dinner around £60 for two with a glass of wine.) Otherwise staff (mostly in their 20s) were lovely, ever present, and eager to please. The highlight, though, is the Spa. This includes a 20m swimming pool; a large hot water pool with an outdoor jacuzzi and several different water features; a well-equipped gym; two saunas, two steam rooms and a lapidarium, all with various treatments available. It's fitted to a high standard and free to hotel guests. We spent a couple of hours there before dinner every day. Practicalities: there are three car parks, the house bring accessed by a narrow drive, off a minor road on the edge of the sprawling suburb of Plympton. A car is pretty much essential, as it's up a steep hill and some way from public transport (it's about 5 miles from Plymouth station). It's well located to drive into southern Dartmoor, or the beautiful Saltram House and it's park (National Trust).

Am I glad I did, our room was in the courtyard away from the main building and it was an extremely comfortable, clean modern room that was extremely spacious with a lovely en suite I have to say this must be the best nights sleep I have ever had in a hotel, being in its own grounds there was no traffic or street noise and not even a peep from other guests. This was finally topped off with a superb full English breakfast. Highly recommended for anyone wanting a comfortable and peaceful nights stay in the Plymouth area
