We had a pleasant stay at the Devonian, a very nice and spacious bedroom. We didn't try the breakfast, on arrival the host said breakfast wasn't included but when settled in I had checked my booking through Expedia which said breakfast was included. So we just decided to get breakfast out on the Saturday to save any hassle. We were in room 16 which was a bit of a climb up the stairs with no elevator to hand. Not so much a criticism but something to consider when booking if stairs are a struggle for you. Aside from that a very nice venue to stay at.

Lovely hotel. My room was very homely and comfortable. I was on the top floor so had a view of the sea, which was only a couple of minutes walk away. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend and would definitely stay here again.

Lovely place

Lovely place just up from the sea. We were in the basement room which was a little noisy in the morning as it was underneath the dining room, more just squeaky floors as it is a lovely old house.

Massive thanks to the staff. Check in was between 2PM and 6.30 PM, which wasn’t convenient for me, so they gave me a security code to get in the front door, and left my door key in an envelope inside so I could arrive when I was ready. Also looked after my luggage while I was out for the afternoon. Owner is really helpful with guides as to where to go, and how to get there. Nothing seemed too much trouble. Hotel exceeded expectations of a budget hotel, quiet room, comfortable bed, en-suite room with tea/coffee making facilities, and a TV. Topped off with a massive breakfast. Honestly couldn’t think of anyway it could be better. Would definitely recommend.

Good cheap place to stay, only drawbacks was the quality of the shower and size of the TV, but for the price, it was a bargain and very clean.

Property is tired and old. Bathroom and, in particular shower, was too tiny to function. Room was not particularly clean (e.g., bottom of bed). Bed was uncomfortable and pillows like rocks. It is really an old fashioned boarding house, not a hotel at all.
