    We knew when we booked that breakfast was to be a muffin and flapjack, but were disappointed by the quality of the food provided.

    The room was beautifully clean with a very comfortable bed and an extra heater for if we got cold in the evenings, which was very useful.

    Excellent location, our room overlooked Babbacombe Downs and Lyme Bay. Our King size room was very comfortable. Continental breakfast was delivered daily to our room. Restaurant menu was comprehensive - good food and value for money, especially the Sunday Carvery and the "Steak night" Staff were very helpful, friendly and made sure we enjoyed our stay. Thank you very much

    Lovely and clean accommodation. Nice continental breakfast. Well stocked bar and amazing food. Fantastic location and great view. The staff are by far the best attraction at this place. Nothing is to much trouble and they are very friendly.

    only slight downside and it was slight - despite being a good quality shower the head pressure and spray was disappointing.

    great position, staff were very friendly and accommodating, room was great and cleaned to a high standard every day and complementary breakfast snacks left.

    Didn’t affect us as there is a side door for residents, but some people attending an event were smoking in main entrance. Although there was a huge sign telling them not to! Water pressure in lovely large shower not great, needs a pump. Main area could do with a new carpet but whole place was exceptionally clean.

    Friendly staff. Large exceptionally clean bedrooms. Great value for money. Fab fish and chips. There was an event on the Saturday night but it ended promptly and was silent from midnight. Our room was above exit but elderly parents in another room, “Didn’t hear a thing.”
