We enjoyed our stay at the Formby. It was good value for the price. The room was clean and spacious, the parking convenient. The staff were friendly. Only one complaint was the shower which kept on going hot and cold. There is a washing machine which is great, even better would be the addition of a dryer. The downstairs bar had a great vibe and the restaurant was so popular it was booked out, which must be a sign it's good. We plan to stay again next time we are in Devonport.

Convenient location and cheap…but a bit sketchy late at night with drunk people milling around car park. Went for a cigarette in car park and was approached by a scary drunk guy wanting my cigarettes.

Just as we arrived to check in to the Formby, they had a power outage. The hotel was very busy, and the poor staff had to contend with the restaurant and bars having to shut . The staff were excellent and so apologetic. We then had to find a meal elsewhere, but it was just a short walk to various options. When we arrived back in our room , the staff had set up a torch. Under very difficult circumstances the staff were amazing. Would have absolutely loved to havehad a meal and a beer in this lovely pub.
