"The room was clean and tidy. The food in the pub was very good. I would not stay again due to room No5 being VERY noisy due to 3 fans under and next to room 5 (kitchen, cellar and heating) making constant droning noises. I had to ask staff to turn the fans off during the night as it was so loud you could not sleep, even the floor in the room was vibrating. After reading some of the reviews I have noticed that other people had complained about room No 5 being noisy from the fans. It spoilt our whole stay as during the day you could hear the fans making the room uncomfortable to stay in. I expected noise from the customers outside as the pub is in a town centre location.
I think the landlord should explain paying guests that the room No 5 is very noisy due to the fans before they book. Though the noise is more than obvious, the landlord acted surprised when informed. If you expect a good nights sleep in Totnes don't stay at the King William IV. I hope this review is helpful. "
