10/10 Exceptional

Very friendly couple running the Hotel. I arrived at 13.30 by train. I didn't want to haul my luggage around until the 15.00 check-in time so I went straight to the hotel to ask if I could leave it there and call back to check-in. My room was ready so I didn't have to wait at all. I thoroughly enjoyed my long weekend break

10/10 Exceptional

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.

Joseph, 7-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.

Birthday holiday break

We turned up early and told the owner would it be ok if we could stay parked around the back and check in later at 3pm. It was no problem we checked in there and then because the room was ready,was lovely and friendly person.
Victoria, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.
Steven, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

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……….
