We were actually heading southbound on the M5 but booked here to break the journey. To get to the hotel only added 2-3 miles and worked fine. It’s set slightly back from the road so was fairly quiet. …

Had a very pleasant 2 night stay with my partner and our dog. The clean room was big enough to house our large dog crate with no problem. The staff are lovely, helpful and informative. Loved free WiFi hairdrier and toiletries. …

A nice little stopover, the staff are friendly and on hand to answer any queries you may have. 24hour reception too. We've stayed here twice now and would happily stay again to break up the journey from home down to Cornwall.

Great location and best for a single night stay. Its walkable distance from the Welcome break Michaelwood. The room and taps were old, but neat. Our room was overlooking a field and it was a bonus that we didn't expect. There was only two towels for a family room, would have liked one more. The receptionist was accomodative. Neat bedding and toilet. Good parking on site. The reception had a few items to purchase as well (like crisps, sanitary items).

Good location - so whilst on the motorway, there is a service road so you can come off the motorway (or have takeaways delivered to hotel). There’s a short walk to the services with various food places. …

Rooms at the back are nice and quiet and overlook fields. The bathroom facilities were good - plenty of hot water. No drinking glasses in the room - (could have asked for if needed). 24 hour reception. Direct access off A38 available. Not quite Premier Inn but for a reasonable price, good value.

This hotel was in a good location. The man at reception was Sanjeev who was very helpful eventually.| We were given room 16. The mattress was disgusting. I took photos and showed Sanjeev. …
