The room was clean, warm, and the bed was comfortable. The staff were helpful and polite, although we couldn’t find anyone at the bar when we wanted to check in and we couldn’t find a bell. It is an old building and the stairs to our room were quite steep and narrow and quite a lot of them. They allowed us to park in the car park for the two days, although we were only staying the one night.

Nice stay
Nice accommodation, staff were pleasant, room was clean and comfortable, lovely shower, very warm room. We checked out at 9.30 but couldn’t find anyone to check out with then noticed a small sign to leave the keys on the table. Only downside was breakfast was 7am -8.30am which was fair to early for us but thrte are other places in town to eat. Over all great stay and free parking was a bonus.

The best in town!
Fabulous hotel with great staff. Part of a golfing group who normally stay at the White Hart but this hotel trumps the other so if you are going to spend your money, go here instead. Great facilities albeit they don’t have many rooms. They also have off road parking unlike the other hotel mentioned

Okehamptons worse hotel.
The room was not worth the money. Breakfast was between 8-9:30 and the chef never turned up. The landlord/landlady was upstairs in bed and never sorted the situation out. I will never stay there again and will be writing a scathing review on trust pilot.

Not so good
Our staff used this hotel as an overnight stop. There was no one on site due to COVID virus, one bathroom had several bugs (video taken) and the cold taps did not work. These staff travel all over the country and stay in various levels of accommodation and in their option these room were poor and overpriced.

Inn in the centre of town
A newly refurbished inn right in the centre of Okehampton, unfortunately only the pub and restaurant areas have been upgraded and not the rooms. Lots of cracks in the walls, damp on the ceiling in the bedroom, really noisy toilets and water system and despite reporting a lack of bathroom mirror light it was not replaced. They definitely concentrate on the bar and food aspect of the premises rather than their paying guests. Not somewhere for the feint-hearted to stay as the local youngsters frequent the place late on weekend evenings and it got very rowdy with fights breaking out. Staff were slow to react. However, that being said, the rooms are far enough away that you could easily get away from the noise.

Wifi issue
No wifi as advertised, very cold room, had to ask for an electric heater - no apology from the manager or offer to change rooms. Food was good and had options for smaller portions, bar staff very friendly, took 15 minutes to find the car park

Everything was fine. I was in The West Country to visit a friend and this hotel was convenient.
