We stayed here on a long weekend away visiting steam railways in Dorset and the Devon. We spent one night at this classical railway hotel. The hotel has a huge car park. It serves excellent pub food and beer in the evening. The full English breakfast next morning set us up for our visit to Brixham the next day. Our Victorian-style bedroom was huge. The location is convenient for visiting Agatha Christie's Greenway NT property by car.

Shower could have been better - but I am fussy about such things. Also, the cubicle space seemed small compared to the total size of bedroom and bathroom. The only other disappointing thing concerned the location. Since the pandemic, (steam) trains no longer stop at Churston Ferrers railway station so the convenience of a day trip to say Dartmouth or Paignton has been lost (but through no fault of the owners).

Competent friendly check-in to a very large sensibly furnished room with giant, comfortable bed and large en-suite. Breakfast was freshly and well-cooked and nicely presented, on hot plates. Evening meal was well-presented and good quality, although pie crust could have been cooked a bit longer. Very convenient for frequent (no.12) buses; massive car park and beer garden adjoining P & D Steam Railway.

Rather a jaded building and approached by quite steep access roads with no pavements. Menu was very much "pub grub". Ony 1 real ale was available (2 other pumps not in use). One, obviously regular, member of staff frequently handled customers' dogs then glasses and plates without washing hands--yeuk!

We stayed for a night to travel on The Train of Lights and our accommodation was right by the railway track and the bedroom that our son's stayed in was facing the track so they could watch the train pass through and hear it's whistle, which they loved. You could only hear the train whistle while the event is taking place, no traffic noise lovely and quiet, comfortable sleep. Mark who is the manager was extremely friendly and welcoming. Our room was very spacious, well presented and clean, Sunday Lunch was absolutely beautiful, big portions and very well priced, breakfast was also very nice indeed. Would definitely recommend.

Nothing, everything was great, very happy. The only thing we didn't like was that our stay wasn't longer.

The staff were excellent and made you so welcome. The manager, Mark , runs an excellent establishment. The breakfast was magnificent, and the food for evening menu was well presented and tasty and good value for money, with a good choice . A good stocked bar with excellent real ales.

The only thing that the company who own the pub could do to make it perfect is to give the property a bit of make over when it comes to things like renewing the stair carpet, or even giving it a industrial clean . The decor in the rooms, though far from dirty, in fact they were spotless, could do with a bit of painting and decorating throughout, as it’s a bit tired. This is no reflection on the manager , but a company issue. Having said all that, this would not stop me from staying there again as it was such a friendly place to stay .

Breakfast was plentiful - juices/pastries/cereals/toast etc first then a plated breakfast was cooked to order, which very tasty - great ingredients cooked well and served nicely. The room was comfortable and had enough power outlets for our device recharging needs - fresh towels - not the most modern, but an absolutely functional and clean bathroom - shower over the bath was good. Parking was easy and there was plenty of room. Location was perfect for Brixham Harbour and amenities, which was a great place to visit - just a short drive then the harbour car park was run by "RingGo" on a 'start/stop' basis using their phone app - or I think you can pay cash if you like. Great stay and would definitely consider returning in the future.

For me a few things could have been a little more modern EG USB sockets on the plugs/slightly larger screen TV/air conditioning or a fan in the room - but were that the case I'd imagine that the price would rise accordingly, so for the price we decided "it is what it is" - very comfortable and adequately furnished and perfectly placed (just out of town) for visiting the lovely harbour in Brixham.

Very good breakfast and evening meals

The restaurant offered an excellent experience, highlighted by its lovely setting and a diverse menu that provided plenty of options. We enjoyed a delicious meal in the evening, and the breakfast was equally satisfying, featuring a flavorful fry-up. Overall, it was a wonderful experience and our local family said the Sunday lunch is well worth visiting for. The location is on a bus route so easy to get to other towns and attractions.

Good stay, nice large room, hot showers and comfortable bed. Dinner menu was good, nice choices, breakfast all freshly cooked to order - full English. Convenient location. No.12 bus got us to Torquay, Paignton and Brixham. Great not having to find parking. Staff were lovely.

Rooms were a bit tired but clean and comfortable. Shame there were no hanging baskets outside.

The location was superb. Just over the road from the gold course and a bus stop into Brixham. The room (triple) was spacious, ideal for a couple of people with a lot of kit (golf clubs or hiking gear). Staff were very friendly and attentive and the food was superb.

I personally found the 'power shower' not that easy to operate. It took a while to get the temperature right and on one occasion ended up having pretty much a cold shower due to lack of hot water. An electric shower would be a very good addition I feel.

Mark and all the staff are very friendly and made my stay exceptional. A very spacious room and breakfast set you up for the day.There no need to use you car as their a good and reliable bus service which goes to Brixham and Paignton where you can change buses and go anywhere in Devon.

Good food and well kept local ale good size room and quiet apart from the sound of the steam train passing five or six times aday and a fantastic host.
