The Palms Hotel was small and very friendly. The owners were most hospitable and the gentleman sat and talked to us on our return each evening whilst we sat in the bar having a drink. The room was lovely....we had a family room with a double bed and bunkbeds. Everything was spotless and I cannot fault the place. The breakfast... more

We stayed here in a familly room which was really roomy and bright and fresh. Great location for restuarants etc even used bowling alley when it was raining, only 5 min walk. Breakfast lovely, and great amenaties, dvds for room etc, would def go again. more

We stayed just one night as we were en-route to North Devon after seeing a relative. We were delighted with the welcome, cleanliness and the incredible care and detail to the furnishing of the room. Having been "in the trade" for a number of years before retiring, we could really appreciate the thoughtfulness and consideration that had been put into... more

We are staying at the Palms for a few days. We are really enjoying our stay, our host is extremely welcoming and we have enjoyed a great cooked breakfast every morning. We are really pleased with our room (four poster) - it is really comfortable and we have enjoyed exploring the area from here. A great base for the sights... more

Excellent hotel which puts so-called superior places to shame. A real value for money . Graham and Judith couldn't be friendlier and promote a very relaxed atmosphere. The breakfasts are an added bonus , enough to satisfy the hungriest of travellers. We stayed in the 4 poster room, which without being outstanding was more than ample.Although evening meals aren't available... more

We stayed at this hotel for 2 nights last weekend in the four poster room and we thought it was marvellous. I have no idea who wrote the review which said it was dirty because it was anything but. The owners were very welcoming and Judith cooked us 2 fabulous English breakfasts both mornings. I would recommend this hotel to... more

Great hotel, lovely light airy family room with bunk beds that the kids loved. The room had a flat screen TV/DVD player and they have a fantastic DVD collection with all the latest films. Great central location. Thoroughly recommend. Booked for £69 for the room and breakfast for 2 adults, 2 children through laterooms. more
