A fabulous and recommended place to stay

We had a 3 night stay, along with other family members staying 2 nights. The hotel is very conveniently located, close to the sea front and amenities in Paignton. Our room was so comfortable and homely, absolutely spotlessly clean. The welcome from the hosts was so friendly and accommodating, nothing was too much trouble throughout our stay and the communication was good from booking to leaving. We would certainly be sure to book again when visiting the area.Our choice for booking this hotel was made on previous good reviews and we would certainly recommend.

A lovely weekend away.

This hotel is in a great location, right next to the beach. The rooms were clean and comfortable for our weekend stay. There isnt much parking at the hotel, only 2 cars could park at the front. Thankfully we found street parking at the back of the hotel, but it was very busy. Overall it was a lovely stay.

Nothing really to dislike, my room was exceptionally clean and my bed was very comfortable, only issue I had was with the shower, had to run it for quite along time before the water would heat up, but everything else was fine.

I had a very relaxing holiday. 7 night stay. Hotel is on the sea front, close to the shops and train station for the steam train. I had no issues with parking but you can get blocked in on the back carpark. The hotel and room was clean and comfortable. Slept well. The hosts were very friendly and helpful. Good value. I would visit here again.

Lovely place not easy to find. One bed room very good value but shower did not produce hot water. I tried running hot tap in bathroom as advised until got hot water and ran shower for another 10 mins but no hot water produced. When turning on hot water tap in shower no water produced firm tap so I left note for people to repair shower tap or repair hot water pipe into shower……….

Disappointing

Arrived ok , disappointed with the room , it was clean , but room was limited. Most of the time in the day the lounge was locked, no access. The lady of the hotel was helpful, but male propieter, was not helpful at all , we had to ask for water , toiletries , as wasn’t replaced as we used them. We came home a day early , just glad to get home .looked so good on web site , disappointing.
