+The bathroom in our room at the Stowey Inn was absolutely disgusting , without question the dirtiest bathroom I have ever encountered in accommodation. It was clearly not something that had been missed once, but something that had not been properly cleaned for a very long time. When we raised the issue, the landlady came up to clean it herself, which only reinforced how unacceptable the situation was in the first place. This is not a standard anyone should be expected to tolerate, and it completely ruined our stay. Basic hygiene should be a given , here, it was shockingly absent.

“Good value for money.”
+Clean , bed comfortable and good value for money
−Need to put heating on. Was on for too short a time in the evening. However, they did provide blankets so I was warm in bed.

“Beautiful pub, comfy room, gorgeous dogs”
+I knew I was going to enjoy staying here as soon as I opened the door and was lovingly mobbed by several pub dogs. Alison then greeted me warmly and showed me around. It’s a beautiful pub with friendly staff. The room was clean and comfortable with towels, small shampoo and shower gel bottles, a hairdryer and a big TV. Shower is nice, just takes a bit of time to heat up, so you need switch it on a little early before you’re ready to go in. The breakfast was incredible value for money; there was a good variety of food choices and it tasted great. I’d definitely stay here again if I was visiting the area.

“All in all a good stay and suited to our needs”
+Lovely old building with pub so excellent for dinner, and cooked breakfast included too. Lovely staff and cosy atmosphere
−Room could have been cleaned a bit better, the bathroom especially. It was a little chilly but I understand that these old buildings are difficult to keep warm.

“As above…”
+The property was available and on route to break up my journey. The land lady facilitated a later check in which was great.
−The bathroom floor hadn’t been cleaned. There were hairs and pubic hairs visible on the floor but the shower. The two towels on the radiator had pulls in them and dye stains. The room was small, which was fine, however the wardrobe beside the bed meant that every time I rolled over in the single bed, I struck it! To top off the experience, before hitting the road, I had to do a quick zoom with a client in the room at 9.30 am. Jumping into the shower at 8am I found that the power was off in the building. This was quickly rectified which was great, however, soon after dressing and jumped on the laptop, I was engulfed in the loudest music coming from the pub below… ‘Killing in the name of’ (Beastie Boys) being blared at ridiculous volumes by the pubs cleaner at 9.30am. While this wasn’t at an inappropriate time, the volume level was literally vibrating the floor and made it impossible to talk to my client on zoom.

“If and when we needed to stay near Exeter, we would definitely consider booking a room here again.”
+The breakfast and evening meal very good value. The Landlady was very friendly.
−The internet and sky TV very hit and miss. Possibly in a bad reception area.
