    Nice traditional hotel which was ideal place to sleep between between two days of coastal hiking
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveller
    • Single Room
    • Stayed 1 night

    My room was on the ground floor sandwiched between the restaurant and the bar, so I was worried noise would keep me awake. I'd been hiking all day and just wanted to sleep There was live entertainment nearby, but this ended around 10pm and by 11pm everything was completely silent, so in the end it wasn't a problem. Shower was a little weak, but perfectly adequate.

    I can't complain, my room was an absolute bargain. It was small, but it was a single room and for the price not a problem. I even liked the view of the park outside. Bed was a very comfy. Breakfast was great, it was quaint having to order and wait for breakfast, but the service was quick so no complaints really. Slightly regretting not giving the kippers a try, what with being near Torquay !

    The front door sticks a bit. Apart from that I cannot think of anything.

    Busy, efficient, unpretentious, perfect location between beach and station. The food was excellent, thank you chef. Yes, the choices were limited and the portions controlled and meal times strictly limited. But I was not paying for anything I did not need. Even the evening entertainment, though not quite my 'thing', added to the good feeling. Ideal for coach parties and as a base for exploring or as a stopover point. There is a large bus station near the rail station, with frequent services to Plymouth, Totnes, Torquay, Newton Abbot and Brixham, including Sunday.

    The shower could have been a bit more powerful and the bed a bit comfier. But for the price was still really impressed.

    I checked in late and the hotel staff were so friendly. Even though I was leaving early in the morning so would miss breakfast, they offered to make me a breakfast anyway and on top of that were able to offer a vegan option. The location is so close to the seafront - loved that!

    The decorations are very old fashioned, resembling the 1900s when the UK was at its peak. Personally we are more into modern decorations but this had its charm.

    The facility was great and very characteristic, if you are looking for a full English experience this is the place.

    Too noisy as our room was under the dining area. So first thing in the morning all you could hear was banging, and the same in the evening up until 930pm. Not good if you have a small family.

    Location good, food good.

    I was only here for one night as a stop off and probably wouldn’t use it as a base for a longer stay.

    The bed wasn’t made very well and was very uncomfortable. The hotel is tired and the wifi only worked in the bar. I unfortunately picked a weekend when an air show was on and all the access roads to the hotel were closed off until 7pm so check this before booking. I managed to get to the hotel but parking was limited and I ended up blocking people which meant you could be phoned anytime to move your car which limited me as to how far I could venture from the hotel.

    The staff were really good and I had an evening meal which was very nice. The location was right on the seafront.

    Breakfast that was included in the price. Medioca. Limited range of options. Staff were helpful but we did have to wait for our food for some time and did not receive any toast that was also ordered with the breakfast. Limited starter options for myself.

    I did like the location of the hotel. Rooms were to a good standard and also free parking was avaliable all day while staying at the hotel.

    Unfortunately our room was underneath the restaurant so very noisy, very early in the morning and sometimes late at night so I'm assuming that other guests had to walk through the restaurant to get to their rooms and the walls are very thin so he could hear the people in the room next to us. The beds were at the side of the television so you tried to turn the television as it was on a swivel table but you still didn't really get a very good view if you're lying side by side in the bed so there were two chairs with a table but the chairs weren't that comfortable to sit in.

    The situation of the hotel was fantastic right on the sea front, stuff was lovely, the room what we were given was a very good size larger than what we booked.

    Although we did manage to park, I did notice that public can park for £5 per day, which made me think that if we had got there later we wouldn't have been able to park at the hotel, which is one of the things I look for when choosing an hotel. The cooked English breakfast was not the best and not enjoyable. Cheap sausage and bacon. However the staff and chef were wonderful and I was allowed to have a variety of starters for breakfast.

    The bed was comfy and the staff went out there way to help and were very friendly and accommodating. The location was right on everything. The evening meal was good value and very tasty and enjoyable.

    Typical Victorian era seaside property that felt a little care worn. Especially our room which was very basic with a 1970’s feel. Lift was not working.

    Location. Right in the centre of Paignton and a short walk to the beach which is about 50 yards away. Not far from the Cinema, restaurants and pubs. Nice Lobby area with seating to relax in and good breakfast. Very friendly down to earth staff. Free parking.

    Room decoration looking a bit 'tired' and shower, whilst hot, lacked in pressure.

    Staff were absolutely fantastic. A very friendly and speedy service, tasty breakfast, free entertainment. Location was perfect.

    The house is very poorly soundproofed. Ok, this is an older house, but you can hear much of what other people do. The only negative point.

    Friendly staff, good location, very close to the waterfront. Breakfast was good as well.
