    Only downside was the indoor swimming pool area and changing rooms which are in need of renovation.

    Really nice hotel, lovely room and great location. The staff were particularly lovely and helpful.

    The facilities are old needs a bit of a refurb. But that’s only the pool and changing rooms. Everything else was beautiful. Although there was a large stain on our floor so maybe refurb the carpets too. But this is just small things really.

    Loved the hotel decor. Felt like the perfect place for a murder mystery party. Bed was made everyday. The staff were all very friendly and kind. Perfect location! Right next to the sea, which was good when we did a sea dip. Only a 50 min walk from Paignton beach as well. We had breakfast with our room and it was great every time!

    The garish decor in breakfast room and lack of blinds to shield you from the sun that flooded the room. No hot choices other than full English breakfast. The garage looks like a bomb has hit it. The room heating was on a timer. We were cold.

    The lounge views.

    At times communication problems in restaurant Expected staff to be properly trained on celiacs disease it was hard work when trying to order for my husband despite the fact our dinner was pre ordered your staff wasn’t very clear on my Husbands meal being completely gluten free!!! Even though I said it several times he has celiac disease Breakfast was hard work and a lot of waiting if your celiac even though I was speaking to staff as the card clearly stated Any Allergies or celiac’s disease on the restaurant entrance table .. To my Amazement they clearly aren’t well trained in this Area. Which is such a shame Hopefully you can do something about this for future guests.

    All round excellent Throughout hotel and our room was AMAZING RECEPTION STAFF VERY FRIENDLY AND HELPFUL

    The room was too hot. The gym needs a massive up date The changing rooms were freezing and unkept We were very disappointed to hear that guests had been transferred from a sister hotel and got to stay at the grand for £30 with breakfast. Yet we paid over £168 for two nights no breakfast included. This seemed a bit of a let down. If staying in torquay I would recommend the headland hotel

    That the staff were very welcoming and the bar area was lovely.

    Bathroom needed updating. Requested walk in shower so that my mum registered disabled, could use it. Advised walk in showers only in family room which we would have to pay more for.

    Lovely spacious warm room. Quality furniture. Nicely decorated. Good breakfast. Very reasonable price. Friendly accommodating staff.
