A Devon Cream tea was included in our package, and we took this on arrival. I normally steer clear of cream teas as they often disappoint, but this one exceeded expectations. The freshly made scones were still warm, the jam tasted home made and the clotted cream was superb. Strawberries on the side completed the picture: dog owners can take tea in the bar or reception area, those without dogs can also use the restaurant at tea time. Read more »

Remember if you are visiting a hotel offering free internet access that the access may not be wireless in all the bedrooms, and a USB lead or fiber cable may be necessary to get connected.  Even if the hotel provides this it is a good idea to take your own,  so that you can work in all parts of the room.
