We have recently stay in Family Room. To be honest for 2 nights including breakfast we thought that is quite reasonable price to pay as the Room was spacious. However need some TLC and good cleaning. Window in bedroom broken-can’t close properly, lots of cow webs on the lighting and also good dusting is needed.Bulbs need replacing on the side table in the Tv room too. Generally good and proper hover and cleaning would help . On the positive note the bed was very clean and comfortable. Bathroom needs repair/replace shower head as it was constantly moving around and hot water tub for bath is not working properly. Also shower wall needs attention-silicone sealer. Toilet seat needs good cleaning especially on the back seat -it was dirty with orange and brown stains on the silver screws. Breakfast was mix results tbh as on Sunday morning we had perfectly served Full English breakfast however on Monday-sausage was undercooked-was red inside and water too. When we call for service we received information that it was cure and good to eat and we said it was not cooked correctly. Instead of going back and forth service should just say simple apology and admit the mistake,it was unnecessary and unprofessional ,also the portion size was much smaller than they before and presentation could be better. Overall I think our stay wasn’t worth £250 for just 2 nights with all this issues which could be easily solved.

Second time we have stayed at The Plume travelling to/from Cornwall. It is a lovely, comfortable & homely hotel. However, the absolute bonus is their restaurant, the food (small plates/tapas) is excellent, as are the cocktails and wine list. It’s a shame it is not near our home as we would be very regular visitors!

Pros - wonderfully comfortable bed and pillows, lovely sheets and soft fluffy towels. A lovely newly refurbished bathroom and lots of lovely hot water and nice toiletries. The food is superb, both dinner and breakfast, with lots of choice and cannot be faulted. Dogs allowed everywhere, which for us is a massive plus with 2 dogs. Opposite the Abbey so in a marvellous position for seeing the area by foot and parking is free as well Cons - chipped paintwork in room and bathroom, needed a re-paint of walls and the lovely wooden sash windows were dirty with peeling paint and a pane of glass was cracked. The coffee table was chipped and shabby and the general state of cleaning/dusting sadly let the room down

Some rooms better than others

Stayed in the Hayloft which seems to be slightly cheaper than the other rooms, but in hindsight I wished I’d paid a bit more for a room in the main building. The bathroom is down a flight of stairs and very cold, tiny with rust, mildew and cobwebs. Really needs renovation. Pumps on 2 out of the 3 toiletries didn’t work, including the hand soap and they’re bolted in to the wall (which has taken off half the ceramic tile in the process). The room itself is large but as someone else has commented, the heating is pre-programmed and can only be changed using a PIN number (which isn’t shown in the room) so it came on at odd times in the night, then cold again in the morning. Velux window blind above the bed is jammed half open and can’t be moved, which isn’t great for shutting out the light for a good nights sleep. Basically, didn’t sleep well at all. Great breakfast and friendly staff though and the pub itself is nicely done out. Just need to renovate that bathroom and give the room a bit of TLC before I’d stay again.

I found this hotel very overpriced. £130 for the evening. The room was cold and unwelcoming, had to call the reception to ask to put the heating on in the room. The cafetière had not been cleaned and was had the previous guests coffee still in there I had to wash out before use. Room was tired and bathroom a little grubby. Staff were excellent in the pub, but for the price of the room- it was not worth the cost at all. Disappointing stay and I would not return.
