We took advantage of the recent bargain winter rates and really enjoyed our stay. All the staff are exceptional - the welcoming receptionists, the excellent inclusive valet parking service, the spotlessly maintained rooms, the marvellous food served by really friendly and helpful staff in the bar and restaurant all choreographed by the ever-present owner. And great atmosphere! More

However, on arrival when we were shown to our room there was a very loud whining noise outside the window which we discovered was the kitchen extractor fan. We were assured that this would not...

We are awaiting expert help to resolve this. In regards to parking - We have a relationship of sorts with the... More

We had an absolute fantastic time here. Staff so friendly, food fantastic, room was superb. The only downfall was Dogs!!! Heard one barking and white hair all on the stairs mmmm!! Cant understand why dogs would be put before adults? This is a lovely hotel and we have been twice but would think about rebooking purely on this issue. It's... More

Thank you for your review - We promise that dogs are not put before humans. We do charge for dogs and ensure you that we only have well behaved smallish dogs. We are also a pub and we do feel that dogs are part of the pub scene! More

We have been staying at the RCH for several years now and it always lives up to our expectations. The hotel is old, the floors are wonky, it has individual quirky rooms and is absolutely full of charm! If you are new to the area go for river view room; you'll enjoy watching life along the river Dart. The two... More
