This hotel has beautifully restored rooms and service is second-to-none from very friendly and helpful staff. Given that it's perfectly located for a stroll into the historic town centre and the famous Tavistock markets, as well as the many delightful shops, cafes, and restaurants nearby, it's a very good choice if you need somewhere comfortable to stay. As others have... More

My wife and I have just enjoyed a pleasant dinner in Browns. Admittedly prices are on the high side, but food was well presented, portions about right in size. The meat in both our main course could have been hotter, other reviews say the same, perhaps something for the chefs to watch carefully. Would certainly visit again. More

The hotel was superb and the service very good. We had room 18 which was a twin for my sister and I. The kitchen extract was outside and a bit noisy as other reviewers have added, but there was also a humming noise that would keep kicking in all night long, well everytime I woke up I heard it again,...

I went to Browns on a Saturday night with some girlfriends to celebrate a birthday - I was aware that the menu was on the pricey side but they were not and were astonished to find such a limited dinner menu as after reading up on the choices shown on their website we thought more choices would be available ....

A happy stay, even with Mr Grumpy as travelling companion. Credit to the staff who, having seen our worried looks at the rather small room we were first shown to, were able to offer us another straightaway - considerably larger, with a lovely comfy bed and a bust of King Tut! Although we felt the continental breakfast (included) was rather... More

We found Browns quite by chance, and we shall remember it for the future. We took the last room, had a stroll around Tavistock, came back and had a beer in the lounge, and then a good meal in their Brasserie. We had a good continental breakfast the next morning, and were very impressed by the Roman spring in the... More

What a lovely relaxing weekend. All our needs were catered for. Steve and his team were on hand throughout the day looking after us. We had a superb weekend package including food, drinks and horse riding on the moors - we wanted for nothing. We had a planned itinerary which Steve help us keep too and provided all the food...

Outstanding staff make this well-run hotel an easy and comfortable stay. Our standard double was small and a little cramped but of a good standard and the bed was exceptionally comfortable. The public areas of the hotel are great - airy, nicely decorated and very well finished. Breakfast in the conservatory is a great spot and following that later with... More

Very helpful & welcoming receptionist who seemed a little embarrassed at having to show us into a cold room (the heating was not timed to come on until later despite the bad weather). We were in a room at the rear of the hotel - tastefully decorated & very comfortable. Dinner at the hotel restaurant did not quite hit the... More

Beautiful hotel, great location, ambiance fantastic. Friendly staff, elegant gourmet dinners, delicious breakfast (do order the Welsh Rarebit w/ ham - so good!!). An extremely pleasant stay, thanks to the entire staff, especially Stephen and Hanna. More
