We have just had the most fantastic lunch celebrating our 30th Wedding Anniversary. The torrential rain didn't dampen our time in the conservatory at all. The staff were so attentive with Nelson heading the team. The food was amazing and beautifully presented. We have said it's the best meal out we have ever had. Thank you.

We experienced an Exmoor Afternoon Tea this afternoon to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Food was presented beautifully. Sandwiches tasty and the scones were so delicious! I took the remaining cakes home as I was too full to eat anymore! Thank you to the attentive staff who looked after us. Truly a special and memorable afternoon.

I took my elderly mum on a 2 night break in Devon at the Hartnoll and it fitted the bill in many ways. The rooms were super clean and had everything we needed. The garden was lovely for a wander with some beautiful flowerbeds and it was great having drinks outside. The standard of the food was excellent (some very fresh seabass, for example) and service was attentive, tho' at times a little chaotic, with multiple staff attending to us, resulting in ordered items having to be chased. That aside the staff was friendly, with one in particular checking in on my mum regularly and a very lovely receptionist. Overall a special experience. To improve, dedicate specific staff to specific tables and upgrade the jam you use for your cream teas!

Gifted Spa Vouchers, took full advantage of chillin in the thermal suite and had a lovely head massage. Smallish spa area had to wait for a hot bed as other people in but happy to stay in spa bath longer. Sauna but I enjoyed the steam room more, felt as if I was in Morocco. Lovely chilled time with tea and blueberry cake in the garden after. Great service.
