Have stayed here many times and would love to go back. Had neat and functional room with views in 2 directions and wake-up service was available in it. The location was fantastic, not far from center of Bideford, the restaurant and the wonderful old bridge.

Possibly the best and really really nice stay for my brief business trip. Neat and huge rooms, magnificent views of town and river. All in all perfect and incredible location, just off a very good beach which allowed dogs, and surrounding areas. Besides, very convenient to St Johns Market.
Breakfast too expensive.
