Hotel recommendation / local knowledge

Hi,

Looking for a little local knowledge.
I will be doing a journey from Holyhead to Plymouth to catch a Ferry. I need to find a hotel which has secure parking for a 3 metre high van on route.
Somewhere quiet or where the car park is easily visible would suit.
Google maps would suggest I will be travelling on the M5 onto the M6, A550 and finally A55. Anywhere close to this route and within a couple of hours from Plymouth would be ideal.

Thanks

Alan

Alan,

You could try the Dartbridge Inn at Buckfastleigh http://www.dartbridgeinn.com/ It's about 200 yards off the main A38 and half an hour from Plymouth. I've never stayed there - it's only 15 minutes from home - but it's a nice setting and food has always been reasonable.

Shout if you need any more local info.

Richard

Thanks Richard. Do you know if the car park is reasonably secure?

Cheers

Alan

Alan,

The main car park is next to the road and very visible which might be a good thing. IIRC there is also an overflow car park behind the pub which is completely hidden.
The area is pretty decent security wise.

HTH
