“Good hotel, good value”

Reviewed 13 May 2013 NEW

Living, as I do, in Ilfracombe, I had not really expected ever to stay at Trimstone, although I have dined there occasionally. However, tempted by a very good dinner, bed and breakfast deal and the thought of not having to trek home after dinner, my wife and I stayed for one night. The hotel is approached from the A361 down... More

“Anniversary Treat”

“Disappointing.....at first.....”

Reviewed 9 April 2013

As we love North Devon, we were delighted to see that KGB deals were doing a deal for a 2-night stay for £109 bed and breakfast at a hotel near Woolacombe. We booked for the Easter weekend and were really looking forward to it. We arrived on Friday afternoon and the weather was lovely and sunny and all seemed perfect........until... More

Dear Susan D Thank you for your comments. I was very sorry to learn that the carpet did not appear hoovered and that there was dust on surfaces and an inadequate bathroom floor. I do wish you'd raised that as we should have resolved that immediately or offered you another Room. Of course, the room should have been cleaned thoroughly... More

“Food and friendliness”

Comfy room with lovely outlook. Staff wonderfully warm, friendly and obliging throughout,- with the surroundings, made for a really homely atmosphere.

A funny, charming, country hotel (although not sure about the stuffed dead bird lol), a place that made me smile. My room looked as it did on the website.

Dear Mrs B Thank you for your review - though sorry you weren't totally happy. You stayed in a Prestige Room 'Braunton' and you were some of the first guests there after the new carpet was laid!

“Restaurant”

Reviewed 10 October 2012

The hotel boasts fine local produce. We were served food from the freezer, including vegetables. The menu was breaded chicken with a bowl of veg.Not something that would be acceptable in a pub today. Very disappointing !! The room was good and spacious the location quiet, down a track.

Dear John H, Plymouth Sorry you were disappointed with your TZ offer. Curiously two other Plymouth couples around the same time as you wrote in the Guestbook as follows - had a very good meal and food yummy, steak great.
