He Belfry Country Hotel, Honiton

Advantages: Friendly staff, clean
Disadvantages: Pricey, can have a few problems

...taken off the menu straight away ad was offered something else. Another customer came in and asked for the steak and another waiter who was taking the customers order explained that he had to be taken off the menu. I would say the hotel would be perfect for 1-3 nights stay but no more as there have been a few times that we were over charged on the drinks or food ( always check your bill) the heating was on then turned straight off for some unknown reason. We have found out that things usually go wrong if they are changing over staff. The price is way too pricey for what you really get. When we went to pay our bill for stayi9ng there the lady wasnt helpful and when we queried a bit of the bill as we were overcharged she got really funny and said she will take £15 of out £275 bill.

Disadvantages: A bit remote, Noisy shredder in the toilet.

..., and I'm not sure if they are in all of the rooms, but it became bearable once we knew what set it off! There were ground floor rooms available for the less mobile. The grounds of the hotel were lovely and it would be an ideal location for a wedding. There were events on in the hotel every day and night of our stay and although we were in the room above, we were not disturbed at all. The staff remained polite and extra helpful although they were clearly busy. We booked this hotel with superbreak and got an unbeatable deal for the May spring bank holiday weekend.
