Comfortable and reasonably priced

From the moment we arrived, we were made to feel welcome and I love the green ethos adopted by the Telstar. Their Guest Information book makes it clear that we all have a role to play. It explains: “As the old man walked down to the beach at dawn he noticed a young man ahead of him picking up starfish and flinging them back into the sea. Finally catching up with the youth he asked him why he was doing this as the beach went on for miles and there were millions of starfish. How can your effort make any difference? The young man replied “it makes a difference to this one”…looking down at the starfish in his hand. Having returned to the hotel, I chose one of the local ales sold at the Telstar in 500ml chilled bottles, for only £3.80. My personal choice was for Avocet - most enjoyable! By way of constructive criticism, I think that all breakfast items should be available for the duration of breakfast service eg preserves (marmalade) and filter coffee. In fairness, I suspect that if I’d asked, the items would have been immediately available but I would be happier to see them offered to all guests, regardless of when they arrive for breakfast. I wouldn’t hesitate to book The Telstar again but next time, I would request a room on a lower floor as I’m just not fit enough to cope with the climb to the top! A superb hotel, run by caring management. Book with confidence!

I had a great stay. Fantastic location close to bars and restaurants. The girl on reception was very helpful and thorough with making sure I knew everything I needed to!

Clean and friendly hotel at a very good rate. Always stop here when down this way with work.

This is the most amazing hotel - it smells amazing, is decorated beautifully, centrally located and great staff!

Excellent stay with wonderful dining and great location for Tarka Trail.
