The staff were very friendly and helpful. For example, when I asked if there was a communal fridge I could use, the landlady carried a spare fridge and put it in my room! Overall I was very impressed by the place, considering the very reasonable price. A pleasant stay.

Cars and motorbiker racing there vehicles up and down the seafront. At inappropriate hour of evenings and early hours of the morning. From 10 pm to 1.30 am every night. Roaring/revving there vehicles outside the hotels. When guess are trying to have a relazing evening and a goodnight sleep. We have come home absolutely shattered. It puts people off staying in a beautiful area/place. I would like to say its not the owners of the hotels fault. Just persons being disrespectful. It would be very nice for something to be done about it. Hopefully the council and authority will do something about it. The hospitality was excellent, food was great and a lovely bedroom with a great view.

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

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.

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.
