Went again last week, place, service and ambience was still brilliant, however the meals we chose…read morewere both great and tasty we both struggled to order, we found that the menu wasn't that meat friendly!! More vegetarian options and it for what it was was pricey seeing though they grow it in their own gardens. Would still recommend going as a special occasion but save up first!!

Another absolute gem for the Pig franchise and the newest addition to the chain of Pig hotels…read more Having already stayed at the Pig near Bath and loved it so much we were worried that the newest Pig might not live up to our high expectations but it did not disappoint. We were lucky to get a comfy luxe room in the converted stable yard away from the main house. The conversion has been done beautifully, keeping quirky details from the original stables the rooms surround a beautiful peaceful courtyard which we very much enjoyed sitting in enjoying a cup of tea. The room was also gorgeous with a four poster bed, SMEG fridge, Nespresso machine, fully stocked (albeit pricey) larder and the most incredible monsoon shower. All of the Pigs operate a 25 mile menu, meaning that they grow and source all of the food served within a 25 mile radius. The gardens where they grow herbs, fruits and vegetables can all be explored by guests and are truly beautiful, I found something I just had to take a picture of around every corner! The food we had was all excellent, breakfast, lunch and dinner! I am also obsessed with the applemint mocktail, so refreshing! The service and attention to detail really was amazing, they were aware of and remembered each time I ordered that I had a dairy allergy and always helpful in amending items on the menu for me. When I was too unwell one morning to make it to breakfast but they hadn't yet started serving lunch one of the members of staff kindly found us some complimentary tea and cakes to munch on. We were also super happy when room service restocked the in room tea bags that they put in extra of the type we had been using. Finally don't go and not take advantage of the potting shed treatment rooms, two sheds have been transformed into quirky treatment rooms where we both enjoyed the most luxurious full body massages. In my opinion the Pigs are somewhere you can just relax as soon as you check in, knowing that you are in capable hands. They are a little pricey and admittedly the majority of the cars in the car park were a collection of very fancy Land Rovers and Convertibles but the staff and service weren't pretentious or stuffy at all. The whole vibe allowed us to relax in an absolutely beautiful setting and the service was fabulous. If you could please consider opening one East of the M25 that would be much appreciated!

Set along a winding track in the Devon countryside, it's a very comfortable, fashionably shabby,…read morebut some areas could do with a little investment. Large guest lounges, small bar area, great views over the countryside. The room I had was very large, slightly dated, but no full shower in the bathroom. Dinner in the restaurant from a wide menu was pretty good, but not gourmet standards. Breakfast was good. A part shareholder is Nigel Wray , connected to saracens Rugby, and the hotel is full of sporting paintings and photos, mostly cricket and rugby, along with other memorabilia. Staff were courteous, reception can be rather matter of fact, depending who is on duty.

Fawlty Towers is a charming little inn with great potential, but lacks in guest service. Upon my…read morearrival, I was greeted in the lobby by a tall, sweaty man with a mustache who seemed rather uptight and on edge. He was very nice and accommodating but quite distracted. While checking me in, he briefly darted into the back office and whispered to someone in a hushed tone something that sounded like "high-class guest" but I couldn't hear the rest. My bags were taken up by a kind Spanish guy who didn't speak much English, the concierge man was very strict with him and tried his best at speaking Spanish. The bell man only understood what to do when the tall guy ran up and down the stairs repeatedly shouting, "BAGS. UP. ROOM. EL BAGO- UP- EL ROOMO." The rooms are a bit old fashioned and smell kinda weird but you adjust to it. What I didn't adjust to was the sound of the concierge man yelling and running up and down the halls. Look out for this guy if you stay here. I swear, he's so uptight that if you stuck a lump of coal up his butt in two weeks you'd have a diamond. His wife, however, is very nice and really much more accommodating than the others. She helped me locate the dining room at breakfast time, which was a completely different story. I woke up on my first morning there and went downstairs expecting a peaceful, quiet breakfast. Oh my god I was so wrong. First off, the Spanish bell man was in charge of making breakfast since this place is so understaffed. I'm guessing the food orders got lost in translation because it was 9 am and this guys serving steaks with mashed potatoes. He's running out of the kitchen putting out plates of food so fast, he doesn't stop to hear people asking for eggs and coffee. The final plates are brought out and all the guests are utterly confused. The bell man stands in the middle of the room just as the concierge man walks in, he stands there smiling as if to say, "look what I did!'' Within three seconds, the concierge has the bellman in the kitchen and all I hear is shouting and dishes started being thrown throughout the room. Needless to say, I got the hell out of there by that afternoon. If you decide to stay here, all I can tell you is this: get ready for a wild ride.

I came to this hotel looking for an authentic English guesthouse, and a little rest and relaxation…read moreafter my very busy schedule. But from the moment I arrived I was treated with disrespect and discourtesy. When I arrived I was left waiting at the desk for several minutes while the married couple that ran the hotel bickered over who was going to check me in. After checking in I was subjected to more yelling as the owner was incapable of carrying my baggage himself and continued to scream for some poor bloke named Manuel. When the poor man came running the screaming only got worse because he barely spoke English but the owner thought yelling at him would make it clearer. I offered several times to carry my own baggage but the owner physically took the luggage out of my hand. I tried leaving at that point but he pushed me up the stairs into my room. I left the next day. It was a very aggressive atmosphere and I would avoid this hotel at any cost. Trust me your car would be more comfortable, it certainly was for me.

Ok, I escaped here with my girlfriend for a romantic weekend away, and got a suite as advertised…read morewith a jacuzzi. First of all don't be fooled by the photo above, the place is right beside a busy main road, so no chance of opening a window without loads of noise, and with no aircon that's an issue. Next up the jacuzzi didn't actually work which changed it from a romantic getaway to a very expensive seaside b&b. Finally breakfast is charged at exorbitant prices: we ended up paying around £30 for a couple of croissants and a slice of toast, on top of £150 for a room. I expect that in a top London hotel, not a Devon village that is not even that close to the beach (10 minute drive) One star, for taking the mickey.
