“Our third visit this in 2011. We shall book again.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 August 2011

Nice friendly reception, bar and owners. Good value hotel, includes full breakfast. Ignore old reviews as now under new management, and much better. We stayed there three times in 2011. Rooms can be a bit small so ask for larger room or larger shower. They are helpful. Some noise from the nearby road though. Well worth a try.

“Fantastic friendly service and great food”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 August 2011

We made an overnight stop here on our way to our holiday in Cornwall. We arrived late in the evening with two tired young children - staff were extremely welcoming, attentive and keen to make us comfortable. We enjoyed a promptly served delicious evening meal which was very good value. The room was lovely and spacious with comfortable beds and we all thoroughly enjoyed a leisurely breakfast in the morning. All in all a great way to start off our family holiday! I think some of the older reviews on this site refer to when the Inn was run by somebody else.

“Superb accommodation and fanastic staff”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 July 2011

The service we experienced from the moment we stepped foot inside the hotel was outstanding. We arrived early and with a poorly baby, the staff couldn't have been any more helpful.
We stayed in a double room with a baby and young child. The room was spacious and cleaned to a very high standard. The furniture was modern and the bed linen/ towels were brilliant white.
The evening meal and breakfast in the restaurant were excellent with a childrens menu. Would definitely recommend to families or business.

Room Tip: Just of the main road so ask for room at rear of hotel.

“Brilliant!!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 July 2011

We chose Gissons to celebrate our "Ruby Wedding Anniversary" and we are so glad that we did. Everyone was so helpful and friendly, nothing was too much trouble. We had 60 guests, for a Buffet Party, with 24 staying the night. Everything was just perfect. The large family room was an absolute winner with our grandchildren. All our friends that stayed, said the rooms were very comfortable and clean. All in all a perect place to have picked for such a special day.

Room Tip: The rooms were very clean and tidy. Although by a road, no one in our group said that caused any pr...

“Great place to stay, clean, friendly staff, good food”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 June 2011

We stay at The Gissons every month as my partner has to travel down to Exeter for a monthly meeting & he has always stayed here the night before. I came with him for the first time a few months ago and i come with him every time now! It's a very relaxed atmosphere with friendly staff and the food is good too. Peter & Margaret are the managers and they always make us feel very welcome and it's nice to be recognised, they make the effort to stop and chat whenever they can. The rooms are clean, bright and comfortable. The towels are soft and fluffy and theres all the usual tea, coffee facilities in the rooms. Breakfast is also good with a good selection of food. This place is excellent value for money!!
