We spent our annual week-end pre-Xmas break with friends at the St George and Dragon just outside Exmouth and were delighted with the excellent staff service, great food plus the comfortable and quaint surroundings. The evening meals are most definitely far above pub grub standard with some very interesting menu choices all presented and cooked to a high standard more in keeping with a quality restaurant.
The complimentary breakfast, consisting of a wide variety of cereals, toast, fruit, yoghurt and above average coffee on a help yourself/eat as much as you like basis, was also brilliant.
The older Inn accommodation in which we stayed for 2 nights, all recently refurbished, was very comfortable and had everything that you would expect of an en suite room! Unfortunately our room was bitterly cold upon arrival due to the fact that the central heating had been turned off, no doubt by a previous occupant, but when this was pointed out the staff did everything possible to rectify the problem, providing additional portable electric heaters to warm up the room quite swiftly!
The only fault that could not be rectified concerned one of the boilers servicing the en suite radiator, which meant the bathroom was cold on the first evening, but once the central heating was on constantly this problem was negated as the bedroom also warmed the bathroom quite adequately!
The cost for two nights per couple with complimentary breakfast was extremely reasonable and I have no hesitation in recommending a stay here to anyone! It is a pity about the heating problem which we experienced as this is the only matter that prevents me from giving an excellent rating, but please do not be put off.
All in all this is a delightful base from which to explore the Dorset and Devon coastal regions!
