Drake Devonshire and Motor Inn

Absolutely no better place to when in PEC. The rooms are large, clean, and very well equipped. The location is bang on and the staff are excellent! The bathrooms were clean and well stocked with all of the essentials you need while travelling.

Our stay at Drake Motor Inn was absolutely fantastic! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by a reception team and manager who exuded warmth and hospitality. Their genuine interest in engaging us in conversation made us feel incredibly welcome.As travelers with a pet, we were delighted to find that Drake Motor Inn is pet-friendly. The spacious rooms provided ample space for our furry friend to relax, and being just minutes away from the lake made it the perfect location for scenic walks and outdoor activities.We can't wait to return for another fantastic stay!

Perfect spot for a visit to the County! Rooms are spacious and well-appointed. Easy parking and several dining options within walking distance.

We stayed one night while attending a wedding at the Drake Devonshire (which we’ve also stayed at a few times and love!). We wanted to try out the Motor Inn this time and it was fab. Our only regret was that we barely spent any time in the awesome room during our stay. Bed was super comfy, room was clean and we will definitely be back

Great property in that area. And the rooms were really well designed.

Because I booked on ******* none of the contactless check in process worked - this should be rectified. The mattress in the pull out bed was horrible - ended up putting it in the floor. Drake should do better.

We stayed mid-week October and couldn't have picked a better time of year - OFF SEASON really is amazing or a better place as home base for a few days. Our room was #3 in the green building and was a STUDIO KING on the first floor. Has a cute little porch with a swing and had it been a bit warmer would have loved to have enjoyed a drink on our little patio. There was very little noise from anywhere else either in the building or around the property. The app access worked for my husband, but not I due to my phone being 'too' up to date for the key app, so not a big deal, but a bit annoying. The room has a fun, funky and cozy vibe. The shower is large and you can enjoy both a rain shower or hand held, but the best part is the toiletries both in the shower and at the sink - such a great perk and really great quality products (especially as i have long thick hair and the shampoo/conditioner worked very well). The bed and linens were soft and the pillows provided great support - that's always a worry. The welcome cookies were a lovely touch. We enjoyed being able to walk down to the Devonshire for breakfast each morning. We would definitely return as it's a great location with such a fun vibe, the room was everything we needed.

I appreciated the effort put into making the Drake Motor Inn cool to look at in photos, it’s fun and kitschy to see. The room itself was quite basic. The bathrooms might have seemed like a good idea on paper but the glass door means you have no privacy and the door is open air at the top so all manner of sound and smell can be witnessed from the bedroom area. Some things should just be ideas-they don’t work for life. The experience down at Devonshire is probably far superior to the motor inn experience; there is no front desk there or staff to answer questions. The phone, tv and Wi-Fi were all non-functional so no way to call the front desk at the Devonshire to get help, and our phones didn’t get cell signal inside the room. The front desk at Devonshire never once answered our call live, we had to leave a message and wait for a return call. We even tried emailing them to get a response and the answers were delayed by a long wait. They finally told us the whole building was without internet services and there was no ETA. It looked as though it had been out for several days but no effort was made to tell us until we asked for it to be fixed. The room had a vast supply of minibar items including candy, drinks and wine but there was no price list to be found to determine what charges you’d find on your card afterward. Overall would never stay again or recommend for the price. (400/night)

Nice room but probably twice as expensive as should be. Disappointed with the scone “breakfast”, we had to share 3 small dry pieces amongst 4 guests. No staff at the site. AC super loud but no ability to open windows for airflow when switched off.
