Positive Reviews
positive:
Friendly country hotel in a peaceful setting.
Fairwater Head is nestled in a quiet corner of the unspoilt Devonshire countryside, a place you would have little chance of just stumbling across. It's a classic English country hotel surrounded by lush landscaped gardens just outside the front door, making it a real gem.
positive:
Relaxed and efficient staff put you at ease.
There is a really good atmosphere at this hotel, from its pet friendly policy to the smell of fresh flowers in the hallways. The staff take everything in their stride and it really is hard to fault the service they provide.
positive:
Cosy restaurant serving fantastic food.
The restaurant here has an understated elegance to it, and it's as much a pleasure to dine here as it is to eat the delicious food they serve. You'll certainly not want to head off in search of other eateries nearby.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Shabby bathrooms and rubbish water pressure.
Some of the ensuite bathrooms here have certainly seen better days, with some still even carpeted! You might find fittings to be a bit loose and the shower to have a distinct lack of water pressure.
negative:
Doesn't exactly offer the best value for money.
Overall Fairwater Head doesn't quite offer all the amenities that you would expect from a three star property, and the amenities it does offer are not always up to scratch. The likelihood is that you could get more for your money somewhere else.
negative:
The free Wi-Fi provided here is rather poor.
One of the most annoying things about staying at this hotel is the dire Wi-Fi service they provide. The rural location probably has an impact on this, but management need to get a better provider if necessary. The mobile phone signal here is bad too.
