We enjoyed our stay at the Formby. It was good value for the price. The room was clean and spacious, the parking convenient. The staff were friendly. Only one complaint was the shower which kept on going hot and cold. There is a washing machine which is great, even better would be the addition of a dryer. The downstairs bar had a great vibe and the restaurant was so popular it was booked out, which must be a sign it's good. We plan to stay again next time we are in Devonport.

Convenient location and cheap…but a bit sketchy late at night with drunk people milling around car park. Went for a cigarette in car park and was approached by a scary drunk guy wanting my cigarettes.
