“My impression of The Lorna Doone is one of genuine warmth, evident in the exceptionally friendly and helpful staff who remember personal touches. The comfort of the beds is a standout, as is the quality of the food, whether enjoying their well-prepared vegan options or excellent evening meals. It's a place where attention to detail, like fresh milk in the room and accommodating dietary needs, truly makes a difference.”
