Go west!

Advantages: inexpensive and convenient
Disadvantages: the bed!

My parents live in Dawlish and, I don't know whether they were trying to tell us something, but the moment my sisters and I had all left home, they promptly sold the family home and moved into a one bedroom flat! It's lovely for them, but it does mean that every time we want to come and visit we need to find accommodation elsewhere. After having tried a few other options, we now seem to have settled on the Exeter Travelodge as our place to stay when ...
...price! Firstly it is very well located as it is part of the Exeter Service area at Junction 30 of the M5 which is the main route into Devon and Cornwall from just about anywhere else in the country. The actual address is: Moto Service Area M5 Motorway, Sandygate, Exeter, EX2 7HF‎ The fact that it is located at the service area means that if you are using it as a stopover on a longer journey, you don't have to worry about wasting time trying ...

A Bad Nights Sleep at Plymouth Travelodge

Advantages: Good location
Disadvantages: Lumpy Beds, Noisy

...having never stayed in a Travelodge before, but had heard that they were a cheap alternative. ~~Price~~ I have to say that I was quite shocked at how much one night would cost as I have stayed in cheaper and more luxurious places than this before. Unfortunately we couldn’t find a room anywhere else in Plymouth for that night due to various events that were taking place in the city. The Travelodge we eventually looked at didn’t have any standard ...
...payment. ~~Location~~ The Travelodge is in a great location within Plymouth, although it also has some downsides to this particular location. The hotel is right in the middle of the town centre - a stones throw away from all the shop and is located at the back of Union Street (main street running through the town). This means pretty much everything you would want to see is within walking distance. However the downside to this location is that ...

Review of Travelodge Plymouth, Plymouth

Friendly Service - a real gem of a hotel

Advantages: Really convenient location, Good value from all aspects, excells in quality, service and food
Disadvantages: none

...sleep after staying at the Best Western Tiverton Hotel. The room was absolutely spotless, the staff very friendly - and facilities surprised me with free Wifi, a printer, flat screen tv, desk/office area and an exceptionally comfy bed. Food and service in the restaurant couldn't be faulted - 2 courses and a pint for under £20. Very convenient location. This hotel is a hidden gem and comes highly recommended ...

Review of Best Western Tiverton Hotel, Tiverton

Wrong personality for hospitality coupled with dingy family suite

Advantages: The precooked breakfast was ok, Kingsbridge Inn - excellent pub/restaurant
Disadvantages: Unfriendly man in the BnB, Tourist office shut on Sunday in long weekend

We chose the Old Forge in Totnes because it looked like a quaint old building that had been developed into a comfortable BnB. The man who greeted us when we arrived was civil but was not a friendly character (which you would expect in a quaint BnB). As 3 single adults we booked the family suite with 3 separate beds. It was pokey and the ensuite door was more like a cupboard door so the other 2 could hear everything going on in the bathroom! Quite ...
...to a relaxing sleep in the next day but discovered at 7am that we were right above the kitchen with the sound of dishes crashing onto the benchtop, water running through pipes in the hollow walls in our room, and the strong smell of food cooking. So much for our sleep in! We decided that we could not put up with this for another 2 mornings (we had booked a 3 night stay over the August bank holiday weekend) so I approached the man after breakfast ...

Review of The Old Forge at Totnes, Totnes

Promised a lot, but let down - we were so disappointed

Advantages: Lovely location and building
Disadvantages: Service and Food

We stayed 3 nights on half board - the location is lovely and the hotel seemed very nice on arrival. Our first disappointment came with the evening meal - the food is mass produced and left a lot to be desired - the beef from the carvery was a bit tough and the vegtables were just so over cooked (probably due to standing on the hotplate for so long). The smorgasboard on the saturday night was th best foor of our stay. On returning to our room on ...
...It was alo there the following morning. We reported it to reception and they did send someone to come and have a look, but he coudn't solve the problem. It was obviously an ongoing problem from what we were told by the cleaning staff - Room 38 - avoid it. Certainly the management didn't ask if we were happy after reporting the problem. In fact another area of disappointment was the restuarant staff - they seemd to be much more interested in clearing ...
