Rockmount Rooms & Apartment

I had booked on the basis of overall package, but particularly the location in the centre of Tavistock so within easy walking distance of everything. I contacted the owners to advise I would be arriving later than their preferred check-in time and they were very prompt in coming back to say that would not be a problem - huge relief! I arrived even later than expected (10.30 pm!) having had a delayed flight but they were still open for me and really welcoming - great service. they also had some parking spaces and had coned off one to ensure I could get in - really thoughtful and in a town with narrow roads and not that many car parks (certainly no free ones that I saw)this is a real bonus. The room was lovely, really comfy, good range of amenities, even a coffee machine. Breakfast was in The Annexe restaurant adjoining the rooms part of the property. Lovely space, very light and airy, lots of plants, great range of retro style furnishings, and an amazing breakfast menu! The food was lovely, the staff really attentive and service quick. Prices for the food were really good value too I thought, given its quality. I didn't eat dinner there, but if I stayed again would probably try to book to do so - it looks great and the fact it seems to be fully booked most of the time tells its own story. Comfy accommodation, great service, lovely food and reasonable prices. Great package. I would definitely look to stay again if visiting that area.

The only thing I didn't like was the shower controls. The shower had two heads, one fixed and one hand-held, but the markings had rubbed off the controls so you couldn't see which controlled heat and which controlled the shower head. Also the controls were quite hard to operate - a bit stiff and quite hard to turn. Once I'd got the hang of it though, it was fine.

The breakfast was excellent, filling, tasty and hot. The Annex where breakfast is served, is light airy.,and very popular with non residents. The sraff were young, very polite, friendly, and knowledgeable about their food and wine on offer. We were 'upgraded' to the garden room which was beautifully quiet and self-contained.. Parking was nice and close.

There was no hot water in the bathroom wash hand basin. However, the shower was beautifully hot. The door to the garden room was rather tricky to open and close.

The breakfast I had was very good.

It would have suited us to be able to have a breakfast starting at 7/30am or 8am. We were on a trip with a number of friends staying in other Devon towns and we needed to be able to meet up at 9/30am or 10am at up to on some days at 45 minutes drive away. Of course on the day we started activities at 10/30am in Tavistock we had benefit. It would have been nice to have had a resints lounge to sit in too.

Excellent location,a very short walk into town and a great centre to explore Dartmoor. Our stylish comfortable garden apartment had a wisteria covered balcony which was fabulous to sit out on, especially to enjoy the evening sun. A very wide choice of breakfasts / lunch served in their comfortable restaurant with a view (evening tapas menu excellent). Tony and staff were very helpful and friendly. Hope to return next year!

Absolute wonderful and professional there is nothing to improve everything was perfect the owners and the staff are lovely beautiful and friendly people will definitely visit them again. Breakfast lunch and dinner where amazing and the bonus was they have illy coffee which is amazing too. Me and wife stayed for a birthday weekend and everything was just on spot. Thank you for a wonderful stay

There is nothing you couldn’t like everything was absolutely delicious and tasty and extremely professional and friendly.

I was greeted in the car park which was a lovely touch. Very nice accommodation It had recently been refurbed so everything was very fresh

Breakfast was served between 9-11am. Not good if you are stay for work purposes. They couldn’t organise a Continental breakfast instead. In my eyes that really let the place down as I had to eat jelly babies that I had in the car for breakfast. Most people working need to eat before 9am!!!! Also reception wasn’t open when I wanted to obtain a receipt for my stay. So will now have to contact hotel to get them to email me one. Such a shame that these two issues let them down dramatically. Apart from those, a lovely stay.

Breakfast in the Annex restaurant was excellent with good selection to choose off the menu. Hotel room was fine with plenty of space and very interesting outlook over the roof tops of Tavistock. The Tapas restaurant downstairs is very good.

The shower tap was confusing - but then again every shower tap in every hotel I have ever stayed in has needed serious thinking about to get it to work at the right teperature.

Thai was our second stay had a super king room last year, this year we went for the garden apartment which was brilliant. Lots of space great to have a fridge for drinks etc especially in the summer. Bed really comfy plenty of storage space big TV - nice to have touches like coffee machine etc. Breakfast excellent - good choices, liked that some options tied in with the tapas of the evening food and bit different to the typical breakfasts you get every where else! Tony and the staff made us feel welcomed and perfect balance of your own space with the room but food and drinks on site still too - lovely smelling shower gels etc too! Great location for cycling and walking/exploring Dartmoor with Tavistock being a good size town also.

Nothing not to like

Beautiful properly with very helpful staff and lovely restaurant on site. We will definitely be coming back! Thank you for having us and looking after us

Some issues with hot water in our room but these were quickly sorted when reported- thank you!

Lots of space. Comfortable bed. Lovely outdoor seating area. All the bits and pieces you needed. Beautiful setting and very convenient for the town and the fabulous railway walk.

Fixed overhead shower. I like a shower every day but no way could I use that without washing my hair too and that doesn't work with my hair. Blokey shower!! 😆
