I'm honestly not sure where to start with this review, but I can say that this is by far the worst hotel experience I have ever had. Please heed my advice and stay as far away from this hotel as possible. Pay a bit extra and stay anywhere else. The best I can do is to copy and paste what I emailed to the hotel after my stay. Note that the hotel initially responded with a holding email and then stopped responding. This hotel clearly has no intention of refunding me the money it owes me. A disgraceful place that will surely be shut down soon. Email below: "I cannot in good conscious pay for the first night of my stay at North Devon Resort. My stay, in apartment 19G, was the worst experience I've ever had at a hotel / resort. The issues were the following: We booked and paid for a travel cot, however, none was provided meaning my baby had to sleep in the bed with my wife which led to an uncomfortable night; The room was not in a condition fit for human habitation. See attached images: - There were spiders in every corner of the apartment and there were debris on the carpets; - There was what appears to be blood stains on the carpets and curtains; - There was what appears to be other bodily fluids on the carpets; - There was no button on the toilet flush; - The shower drain did not have a plug and the water did not drain; and - The bathroom floor had large yellow stains. The apartment was not advertised as being located just meters from safe housing. It must be obvious to management that this sort of housing will inevitably lead to disturbances at night. The noise from the housing just meters from my apartment went on late into the night. I witnessed drinking and smoking of suspicious substances. I attempted to phone management twice but I received no response. I then sent the email below at 12:30 am. The next morning another guest, situated much further from the bungalow emitting the noise, commented to management that there was a lot of noise. If it was disclosed in marketing or other materials that there is safe housing right next to the guest accommodation I would not have booked to stay at North Devon Resort. I understand that I was moved into a "superior" room for the second night. I'm happy to pay the difference between the cost of the standard room and the superior for the second night. However, I will appreciate it if I can be refunded for the first night, and the cost of the travel cot that was not provided."
