Phoenix Steakhouse Restaurant in South Hams - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Beautifully situated on the waterfront, opposite Queen Anne's Battery Marina. Wonderful panoramic views in all directions and a hot spot if you catch the sun right. Outside decor and furniture's not all that and could do with an update but the food, wine and service is divine. I only had a starter and was pleasantly surprised - king prawns I chorizo and garlic cream based sauce, served with garlic buttered Ciabataa on the side, & a wedge of lemon. I also had a glass of Pinot Noir Della Venezie, sharp, crisp and delisch with the food.

The service is slow and poorly staffed. The food is overcooked and probably straight from the freezer. Cleanliness isn’t good and desperately needs updating. It definitely needs some tlc.

The Moorland Hotel is under new management and it is now absolutely shocking. We've had 2 out of 2 bad experiences in the last few weeks which will mean we will NEVER go again despite the fact that it used to be our favourite place to go (before it changed hands). Firstly, we had a 50th birthday meal booked. A pretty big occasion you'd agree. However, we were phoned just a few days before the meal to be told that they'd have to cancel because they had a large wedding on with the guests staying over and implied, therefore, that they were more important and took priority over us. We were left looking for somewhere else to go at short notice. At that point, I suggested they had lost our business, but foolishly we gave them another chance. Their second chance was today. We've just got back from holiday abroad, no food in etc, so we decided to eat out. We checked on the Moorland's website and booked a table for two and received the reservation confirmation. When we got there, the manager looked surprised and said "we are no longer doing food". We explained we had a booking and he just stated again "we've stopped doing food". "But we have a booking" we explained again. It turns out, that despite the signs outside saying "Sunday roast 12-2pm" and despite the website, new owners took over a month or so ago and have stopped doing food and just haven't bothered to update the website. What sort of amateur runs a company like that? Takes over, doesn't bother to make even a single little change to the website, not even a "under new management" notice. But worse, leaves the old site working so that you can book a meal and turn up for it to find out they don't do food! I wouldn't go back in a million years now.

Service was impeccable and they were very attentive. The food was very good and the portions were just the right size. Location is beautiful. Would highly recommend.

Comimos aquí durante nuestra estancia en el hotel en el que se encuentra y tuvimos una comida fantástica. Los 3 platos eran porciones deliciosas y muy generosas. ¡El bistec estaba cocinado a la perfección! Lo recomendaría mucho si se encuentra en la zona, ¡o incluso si no lo está! El servicio también fue excelente, amable y la comida llegó rápidamente y el espaciado de las mesas es muy generoso, por lo que en ningún momento se sintió incómodo al estar demasiado cerca de otras personas.

Family meal for four out at the Moorland Starters 2x King Prawns, 1x Grilled Mozzarella really enjoyed the Grilled Mozzarella , lots of different flavours with the tomato and crispy bacon bits mixed into the cheese. A very tasty dish Mains 3x Rump, 1x Fillet Steak A rare blip on one of the rump Steaks, looked very thin and over done compared to the others on the table and was tough to cut. we bought it to the servers attention who said its sometimes just how the cow is cut but when i pointed out how it looked compared to the other two rumps on the table she took it back to the kitchen and the meal was replaced and much better and appreciated. Everyone then enjoyed there mains. Dessert 1x Strawberry Brulee, 1x Bread Butter Pud, 1x Cheese board Nice choice of cheese available to choose three from for cheese board. and good size portions of cheese and plenty of biscuits as well as chutney, grapes and celery. Got a great flame going on the brulee when bought out with desserts. Shame about rare blip with one of Steaks but still another good night at the Moorland none the less :)

A good selection of starters, main courses and desserts to choose with a good wine list. Would highly recommend the Seafood Chowder and the Roast Tomato Soup. The fish and double cookedchips is a "whale" sized portion so be warned ! With such a variety of well cooked and prepared food it is difficult to chose what not to have ! Competitively priced, and a relaxed and quiet restaurant, the restaurant staff are keen to be of service but are never intrusive. Wherever you are staying in the Plymouth area a trip up to the Phoenix Restaurant at The Moorland at Wotter is well worth the effort - you will not be disappointed. One thing - ring first to book a table as the restaurant is rather popular !

Christmas Party with Theatre group from Ivybridge, 23 of us in total and staff had absolutely no trouble what so ever dealing with such a large group. From moment walked in the door staff were friendly and welcoming both the girls on the bar serving and the other staff attending to other clients. everyone friendly, smiling and saying 'hello, welcome' etc. When entire party had gathered and mingled for a bit in the bar area we were lead to private upstairs function room and met simple but nicely decorated Christmas table with crackers. Meal was booked for 7.30pm and bang on 7.30pm the Starters came up the stairs and were served. I had the Baked Goats Cheese ~ Fresh Fig ~ Pine Nuts ~ Crostini Toast Starter. Very generous portion of Goats cheese, warm and easily spreadable on the Crostini Toast and plenty left to eat along with the side salad. Toast was perhaps a little tough/over done but still a very enjoyable Starter. Tables quickly cleared after everyone had finished starters as well as clearing up some of mess from crackers and games we had bung. Traditional Roast Devon Turkey ~ Festive Garnish ~ Roast Gravy for mains. Again a very nice meal and very generous portions of food. plenty of turkey and veg pots of two to share amongst our selves but was more than enough for everyone. Cheese and Biscuits desserts. Nice sizes of the 3 traditional Cheeses (Cheddar, Brie and Stilton) but think general consensus amongst myself and others was could of done with more biscuits as only 3 wasn't enough for the cheese sizes, though its better to have more cheese and less biscuit than other way around. Tea, Coffee and Mince pies offered and served to finish off After meal there was a disco downstairs for us for choose who wished to partake but those who didn't could still stay upstairs and chat so perfect for everyone and didn't have to worry about belongings on dance floor as safe in private room. All in all the perfect venue for the perfect Christmas party. God bless us, everyone :)

My rump steak was tasty and of good quality but unfortunately served Luke warm. The same could be said for my son's swordfish. Good choice of steaks on the menu but the rest of it was rather limited. That didn't particularly bother me as it is a steakhouse after all! Just not so good for those not wanting a steak. Lovely position on the edge of the Moors with good views towards Plymouth and the coast from the rear. Staff were attentive and pleasant.

Taking advantage of the two Steaks for £12 deal. only available if you pre book in advance and advise that you will be having this deal. Arrived for our 7pm sitting and headed to the bar to be shown to our table. quite busy in the bar area and when the lady serving had finished the few people before us she shown us to our table. Think maybe people going into eat in the restaurant area could maybe be met or wait to be seated in a differ area (if meant to we completely missed this) just because got very congested at the bar considering we weren't actually interested at the bar, 3 people drinking on bar stools at the bar, and two other customers just ordering drinks got quite crowded in smallish area. Anyways on to the main event the meal. both of us ordered starters, I had the Bruleéd Brie and my fiance had the garlic King Prawns. both were excellent. the Brulleed Brie came with generous potion of toasted bread to spread caramelised brie on with plenty of butter (actually forgot to use one of sachets) and nice cranberry dip/spread as well. Both very well presented on plate. The mains of course were 2x Rump Steaks for £12....BEST STEAKS IN DEVON!!! nice and thick but easy to cut and both excellently cooked (one rare one medium) and decent size for the price. plenty of other food on the plate as well peas, salad, coleslaw, and so many potato choices can't remember all (fries, twisted fries, sweet potato, jacket...think was more) not an empty space on the plate. bought very nice pepper corn sauce to go with both as well, again very tasty. no dessert as simple didn't have enough room after such a generous feed but will certainly be back another time (Christmas party already booked). Lovely clean and well furnish restaurant and staff were very friendly and attentive throughout evening. five stars! :)

Another leisurely birthday celebration at the Moorland with excellent well presented meals. Being a Monday it was fairly quiet but all three tables in use were adjacent. The meals did take a while to come but we were not in a hurry and they were certainly all freshly cooked. Service was good and we were kept informed on progress. Realised I put this review on Moorland Hotel page - well they are both the same business.

You need to book to eat here as you may or may not get a table if you just turn up. It is worth it though as the food is consistently excellent. Although steaks are their speciality they do a wide range of other foods too and have a good vegetarian options. The views from the hotel are stunning as you can see right down to Plymouth Sound. Worth a trip out to get friendly down to earth service and fantastic food

Fantastic food beautifully presented Great range on offer at a very reasonable rate Good portions Fantastic service

Good choice of meats. Good portions. Well cooked. Excellent service. Seemed popular with the locals too.

Lovely tender steaks in choices of sizes depending on your appetite! Extras are £1.95, including 3 different sauces, onion rings etc.

We did not stay here but we ate at the restaurant. The service was good and the waitress was friendly. It wasn’t to busy so our starter arrived quickly. All were nicely presented and were very tasty. As for the main courses the steaks we had very all cooked as requested and had lovely flavour. We had a lovely evening and would highly recommend it. Thanks to all involved for a great evening.

We ate there on two evenings. The food in general is well-cooked. The steaks we ate on the first night were done exactly as we requested. On the second night we had fish. The salmon was very nicely cooked, but the so-called "rare side of medium-rare" swordfish steak was somewhere between medium and well-done - tasty, but not as requested. The chef does not know how to do proper "crispy" chips; even the extra-crispy ones they offered were flaccid.

We have been to this restraurant several times. There has never been an occasion where we have not enjoyed our meal nor the service. The food is well presented, very tasty and the portions are of a good size. Good value for money.

I recently travelled out from Plymouth with two discerning diners, my Mother and wife! They were not disappointed, as was I; the steaks were great, cooked precisely to order and piping hot. I must also mention the impeccable service and delivery - absolutely brilliant! Thank you.

Dined here whilst staying at the hotel. They have a dog friendly dining area which was great, the staff, service and food was superb. Would definitely go back.

This restaurant, part of the Moorland Hotel, Wotter, enjoys spectacular views from its dining rooms, and its adjacent outdoors patio, southwards over Plymouth Sound and the ocean beyond. Our dining experience on the two days we ate there was a somewhat mixed experience, both good and not so good. A cooked breakfast was up to the mark and importantly freshly cooked , and the following morning's continental offering...continental! What surprised us was the first Sunday evening's meal, beef dinners allround, was simply superb, with high quality Devon grass-fed meat, beautifully cooked and melting in the mouth...simply sublime. However, looking forwards to dining here on the Monday evening, we all expressed our disappointment, mine a supposed Kangaroo fillet, cooked rare to medium was tough and gristly, accompanied by an uninspired large salad. My companions were underwhelmed with their choices too. After our earlier experiences, this was such a pity, but would not stop our returning to dine here again because most of our eating was well enjoyed.

The food is excellent & really great value for money. The service was great as was the disposition of the team.

We dined in the Phoenix on two nights while staying at the hotel, We both had fillet steaks on both nights and could not fault the quality of the food. Steaks were cooked exactly as we asked for and arrived quickly and were well presented, reasonably priced

He estado aquí muchas veces, ya sea en un domingo para el almuerzo o para una noche de carne. No importa si es sólo mi compañero y o con la familia y los niños pequeños, el personal es increíblemente amable y el bistec es fácilmente algunos de los mejores de la zona.

The food is very good quality and very well cooked - Cooked to perfection, I had swordfish and it was mouthwatering. Have eaten here several times whilst staying at the hotel, which I would also recommend and have never been disappointed with either.

El personal era muy acogedor y servicial. Tuvimos una comida en San Valentín la noche, les hicieron un auténtico esfuerzo para decorar la habitación y mesas y el fudge era un bonito toque. Teníamos comidas bistec que eran geniales. Tuvimos un desayuno riquísimo grande en la mañana hecha con productos locales.

Comida increíble cocinados a la perfección por un chef muy competente y experimentado los bistecs estaban cocinadas a nuestra elección y probado culpa puede, simplemente fantástico que t

La cena era simplemente excepcional. El bistec de solomillo hizo que boca hacer agua la boca. Delicioso cocinado a la perfección y más allá de toda descripción. Los acompañamientos eran acertadas, caliente y sabrosa. Lubina también excelente.

Stayed here for two nights and ate here both nights. They gave us the menu whilst we enjoyed a drink in the bar and took us through when our table was ready. Service was good and friendly. Tables were well spaced out and not crowded. Prices for main courses ranged from around £13-18, with starters and desserts priced at £5 or £7 for cheese.They specialise in steaks so I had the 'steak of the day' on the first night; a rib-eye which was probably the best steak I've ever had! They have a chart of 'done-ness' for the steaks and are reluctant to cook steak any more than medium, which was fine for us. I had salmon on the second night, which I think was the largest salmon fillet I've ever had. Nice starters and desserts also, we didn't indulge in the cheese, but there was a large choice of cheeses to select from, with a description of each. A window seat will give you a view right down to the Hoe.

Ate in here for 2 nights last week. Whilst not in the "outstanding" range - it certainly is worth a visit! Tried 4 different starters & mains from the varied menu - all served with a smile, & piping hot. If you stay in the hotel overnight - then the morning views are priceless, would highly recommend.

staff friendly,prices good, food good too had both evening meal and breakfast both were adequate....

Went to this restaurant at the Moorland hotel for Sunday lunch. The staff were all very welcoming, helpful and friendly and couldn't do enough to help. The food was amazing, interesting options and one of the best deserts I've had in a while (flaming chocolate crème brule!). Not only was the food great but it was only £15.99 for three courses. Highly recommend.

We returned to this Lodge because of their steaks but the quality of the building hadn't improved. Each time we have visited it has been as a stopover on the way to or from the ferry in Plymouth.

Duck and Chirizo salad was to die for. Order that!! Salmon and prawn linguine was also amazing. Such good food and at really reasonable prices too! GO NOW!!!

Pleasant hotel restaurant open to non residents.The food is tasty and well presented and not expensive. Staff friendly and helpful.

Convenient as a spontaneous meal, either as a twosome or with friends. Ideal for special occasions Recommended. Choice of meals good. and a friendly atmosphere.

Good food reasonably priced bar prices a bit overpriced had to wait a while for service but on the whole the restaurant and bar were well decorated and more money has been spent there then on accommodation.

We have eaten here on many occasions over the years but this time we were also staying overnight.The food was freshly cooked, tasty and in ample portions and the service good, what more can you ask?

Staying at the hotel, we wanted to eat in the restaurant but looking at the menu when booking I couldn't find anything vegan for myself so I emailed ahead asking if any of the vegetarian options were or could be adapted. To my surprise the chef decided to cook a very tasty vegan vegetable dish specially for me and even made sure that the soup was vegan too that evening, how is that for service?!! My husband enjoyed his lamb shank, he said it was excellent. Happy all round!

Ate here several times, always been impressed, great menu - especially vegetarian not the run of the mill..

We stayed at the Moorland for four nights and had all our breakfasts and dinners here all of which were superb. The staf were very helpful and friendly without keeping on bothering you and the ambience was great

Really good home cooked food with friendly staff and service. Would recommend to anyone staying at the hotel.

Two of us had steak which was cooked to perfection. I had ham, egg and chips. I'm fussy with eggs (runny yolk but hard white) which was perfect.

We ate here whilst staying in the hotel it is part of. My Steak was cooked to perfection and clearly the chefs no their jobs very well as the staff recommended the maximum cooking doneness for all of their meats. As you would hope, being so close to Plymouth they had fresh fish and my wife spent the evening enthusing on how good her meal was. Considering how simple and basic chips are I can say hands down theirs were the best I have ever had. Thick, fluffy and crunchy without any oiliness at all. How that is even possible I have no idea.

A really nice place with outstanding service, a good choice of dishes and excellent value. Smart enough for a treat out, relaxed enough to feel totally at ease.

This restaurant is situated in the Moorland Hotel--Not to be confused with the Moorland Garden Hotel at Yelverton.The Restaurant has an amazing water feature with a period open fireplace seating area and is well known amongst the locals for its amazing deals on large 160z and smaller steaks.The restaurant also benefits from amazing views over the moors and the ambience is lovely in the summer with an open air seated area if you so desire.The wine cellar is well stocked and dogs are welcome both in and out of the restaurant area if pre booked.

Visited the restaurant for mothers day. Felt the food was a let down. The beef was dry and tough, not what we expect. We had to send a pasta dish back as it was cold. We had eaten there before and the steaks are sublime. This however was a disappointment.I doubt we'll be back.

Delicious food evening meal and breakfast the next morningSelect from gorgeous fillet steak to kangaroo steak, swordfish and beer batter local cod and handcut homemade chipsDesserts are indulgent and filling!Vast selection on the wine list and if you stay in one of the hotel rooms you can even have a bottle of bubbly waiting in your room on arrival The Wotter Room is the best superior suite out of the two top rooms, with a jacuzzi bath big enough for 2

Surprised that this hotel restaurant is under the Plymouth listings. It's a fair trek out of town. I have marked it down only for that. It is not fancy or flash food but it is hearty robust fodder, predominantly steaks chips and peas where the steaks are good. There are other choices of main courses including fish and nothing over £16 which is competitive and genuine value. Some slightly odd decor in the dining room, not least the lamp standard but it has a certain dated modest appeal. If we spent a day up on the moor then we might well call in here on the way home but on our two visits here it has been busy and the website suggests that reservations are almost essential.

We ate here after reading the reviews! Apart from a little mishap with a frozen starter the food was delicious!! The waitress was very helpful and friendly and couldn't apologise more for the mishap! We would definitely eat here again!!

The cost is very cheap compared to most other competitors and the atmosphere is very country squire in décor.16 0z steaks readily available for just £16.00 with well stocked bar and cosy bar seating.Wine cellar extensive an also reasonable but beware the strong local ales as the restaurant is quite remote at wotter just past the village of shaugh prior and the famous bridge

All home cooked food excellent steaks, real chips and piping hot served by very pleasant waitresses highly recommended

Good selection on the menu for all tastes. Well presented food, not big portions but enough for a normal person. Great service as well.

I have visited this restaurant 2 times now and both times the food and service have been amazing. I live in Newcastle but my Uncle lives in Plymouth so it is a must to come to this restaurant everytime I come for a visit.The steak is always cooked exactly how you want it and I suggest you team it with their peppercorn sauce as it has a nice spicy kick! The staff are always happy and smiling and are very attentive but not overbearing. Keep up the good work!!

Clean,smart,quality food quality service and inviting dining room.I Had swordfish....first time ..and enjoyed. My sister had cider battered cod and chips and said it was the best she had ever had .

This place is worth the travel. You may have to book a day in advance as it's well known in the area. It's attached to the Moorland hotel which means peak seasons it's packed. The Phoenix decor inside is a little quirky and adds to the charm of the menu. You have to wait a little while longer than some places due to staffing. My favourite steak on the menu is the Kangaroo, honestly I know what some will be thinking as I thought it too...before I threw myself in and tried it. I was a sirloin or fillet girl before but kangaroo is beautiful and decadent. The best way to taste it is rare. The waffles are lovely after and the chef provides a wide selection of ice creams with desserts. The Phoenix will always be a favourite for me, if not for the staff and food, for the hotel, the restoration of the art deco exterior and the lovely view outside over Dartmoor.

Second visit here on Sunday evening to eat....once again it did not disappoint... had a lovely table by the window..the views here are amazing and make dining here even more enjoyable...the steaks are so tasty..portion sizes are good..we had the sticky toffee for afters it just melted in your mouth so light and fluffy...the staff are always pleasant and service is good..I remember the hotel from old and the present owners have put a lot of money and time into updating the decor..the lounge area and restrauant look inviting and warm..and those views really do speak for them shelves...I can't fault anything I've seen or had on my two visits ...love it...go visit and see for yourself.

Loved the choices on the menu, I need to return again to try more.The smoked duck starter with fresh peaches, blueberries, maple and honey roasted hazelnuts and mixed salad leaves had a complex and complimentary set of flavours. I have enjoyed eating here many times now and the food seems to get better and better.

Very good restaurant in a beautiful location with a spectacular view over the moors to Plymouth Sound. Excellent GLUTEN FREE menu with a good choice. Good sized portions, very tasty and all promptly served by friendly and helpful staff. Well priced and Highly recommended.

We always enjoy our meals at this restaurant. The steaks are always good, but so too are the other dishes. Prices are great too, starters £5, mains around £11 ish and desserts £4.50. Really worth the short drive (25 mins) to get out of the bustle of Plymouth centre to the serenity of the moors. And that view must be the best in Devon. Last visit, we sat outside on the sun deck and just soaked in the Summer evening whilst gazing over Plymouth Sound, watching a little group of ponies and a foal wander off the moor and into the car park. Absolutely magical. We had visitors with us from abroad and they were just blown away.

Had an amazing steak here last night. Devon knows how to make good beef and this restaurant knows how to cook it. My sister only eats fish and veggies and she was delighted with her Salmon, Asparagus, Samphire and King Prawn Liguini too. A real little gem of a restaurant in a fabulous setting. We'll be back very soon!

After visiting more times than I can remember, the food here has always been spot on. A wide range of choices, perhaps slightly lacking in vegetarian alternatives but it is possible to ask as a request, the food is always well presented and delicious. One of my favourites is the duck, but the steaks here are always a good choice. Most of the puddings are made on the premises but some are not. All are tasty, but if you are looking for the homemade ones it is worth asking.

I bought a food voucher from our local radio station, for £25. and could spend £50.....Could not fault the food at all, excellently prepared and cooked. Delicious......

Had one of the best steaks i've had in a while. Would highly recommend. Also the chocolate brownie is fantastic. :)

Visited here for the first time on a quiet Friday evening. For some reason tables weren't available until quarter to 7 despite there basically being no one in there on arrival. After around 15 minutes (way too long) orders were taken - we both opted for sirloin steaks, cooked medium and medium rare. These took a further 25 minutes or so to arrive. The steaks were quite tender and cooked accurately though a little fatty in places. The chips were good as were the onion rings. The peppercorn sauce was a little thin. We didn't have time for dessert due to the slow service and so had to pay at the bar and leave. Whilst the food was fine, I wouldn't return as the service was slow, although it was friendly. Cost around £17 a head including a drink for one course plus side.

Great food, mainly steaks but other choices available with kangaroo and swordfish steak as the rather unusual varieties. Brilliant service.

Really enjoyed our meals here over our 2 night stay at the Moorland Hotel. Steak was superb on the first night and fish delicious on the second. Would highly recommend.

As we was staying at the hotel we decided on eating here as that way we didn’t have to drive and we both could have a drink. We ordered a drink at the bar and had a seat whilst looking through the menu for our starters and main. Our orders were taken and just before the starters was brought out we was directed to our table in the restaurant. For starters I had the butterflied garlic king prawns and my girlfriend had the duck breast with peach slices. The duck and peach combo worked really well and was cooked to perfection. For our mains I had the 16oz steak with chips, side salad, mushrooms and a side order of onion rings. Sadly my steak was more like medium to well cooked than the rare to medium that i ordered. My girlfriend had the guinea fowl with pear puree, fondant potatoes, carrots and courgettes. Again this was cooked really well. Desserts followed and I had Lemon and orange sorbets whilst my girlfriend had the pannacotta. The pannacotta was full of vanilla and set to perfection and one of the best she has eaten. We then shared a cheese board a Cornish blue, a mild cheddar and Wenslydale with apricots that was too sweet for us. Celery, grapes and heavy oat biscuits also came with the cheese board. We would eat here again but I would ask for my steak to be cooked rare. A big thank you to Hannah who worked her socks off and made our night a very enjoyable experience.

I have been here a few times now and it has never disappointed. The food is wonderful, with great portions. Waiting staff are also fantastic. Definitely recommend it!

Good honest food, menu didn't change during they stay. Steak was tasty but a little tough. Waiting staff were attentive.

Only went along for a drink and the Jail Ale was very good. Staff very good and the food we saw looked good, but portions small for price, I did taste a chip and could not fault it...........................................................................................................................................................

Whilst staying at the Moorland Hotel, we used the Phoenix Steakhouse for our breakfasts. Great food, exactly what a full enlgish should be. Set us up for the day. Add to this the friendly staff and you couldn't ask for more.

The pigeon and black pudding wellington was simply devine.Followed by Kangaroo steak, all with an unbelievable view. As this evening was a nice clear evening I had a view all the way down the Plymouth sound and the Plymouth eye.The whole evening was finished off with great service, which made the visit even better.

We ate here twice in a row because the meals were simply but perfectly prepared. Steak and veg cooked just right. The children were happy with their meals as well, but couldn't help but request more and more bites of steak from the grownups.

I cant think of any words other than yum yum to describe the food. Its a good restaurant, food is cooked very well, service is spot on and the wine was tasty. I cant think of a reason why more people dont go here.

My partner and I have visited Phoenix around a dozen times now and have never had anything other than an excellent Steak! Be it Rump , Kangaroo or filet they have all been very good quality and cook exactly how you want them ( rare or blue in our case).The waitresses were all friendly and attentive and there was nice buzz about the place , from both residents and non-residents, the décor is a little Spartan ,unlike the bedrooms in the hotel which are smart and contemporary ( we have stayed a couple of times ). The menu is very good value and the views are panoramic and fantastic over the moors towards Plymouth sound well worth the 15-20 minute drive . We left full and happy and will be back again soon :-)

The staff are friendly and helpful and the steaks excellent value for money. My sister who isn`t a steak lover had a wonderful sea bass. Portions are the right size, and the staff attentive but not intusive. It is not flashy, but very comfortable. Worth the trip out of town.I would imagine during the summer months it would be great to sit outside and look at the views.

went to the hotel for a meal. service was awful, waited around for 10 minutes to be seated. once seated the menu hardly tickled ones palette! with very limited choices. we opted for the roast beef dinner eventually. the waitress seemed disgusted with my partner for not having a starter and tried to force him to have something (it wasn't going to happen). we finally got our roast dinners. me and my grandma had to share the vegetables, my partner was given his own and instructed he MUST eat all his veg by the waitress. the food was barely warm (I'm just thankful it was beef or god knows the consequences). my partner ate all his food for fear of what the waitress would say if he didn't. he was apparently a good boy for finishing all his. needless to say we didn't have dessert. we couldn't get out of there fast enough and headed to the nearest supermarket for a dessert instead.
