Good stay. Can't say much for 3 stars hotel really. Service is good.

We stayed at this hotel as a group of six, in three different rooms. The location is wonderful, right on the seafront with an enormous sea view. The atmosphere is nostalgic, old-fashioned, and classic, which we really enjoyed. Parking was available with an overnight charge and proved very convenient. The small swimming pool and hot tub were well preserved and pleasant to use. Staff were welcoming and friendly, which made us feel at home. Overall, the hotel gave us the impression of stepping back into the 1980s in a charming way. The only real issue was with our room (number 30). While our friends’ rooms on the first floor were well accommodated, our second-floor room was less comfortable. The old-fashioned furniture can be part of the charm, but in this case the bed and bed sheets felt very dated and not entirely clean. The coloured rug on the floor also seemed worn and unclean. The shower was the most problematic feature, with very low water pressure and a faulty mixer tap. Unfortunately, this made it difficult to rest comfortably overnight. It’s worth noting that this seemed to be specific to our room, the others were fine, but room 30 would benefit from some updates and redecoration to match the otherwise positive experience of the hotel.

Staff were ignorant never spoke or said please /thank you , pushed passed us in the lift on our day of leaving as they couldn’t wait for me to take the case out the lift , hotel was run down needing a massive makeover , lift was something out of the 1940’s with sliding metal doors to enter and exit , furniture in room was dated back to the 1980,s and the shower and cubical was a joke there was hardly any water pressure for the shower and the cubical would fit a small child only not a full grown adult .in the bar the larger was on offer , I know why now as it was awful, probably passed its sell by date .beds and pillows were awful like sleeping on a stone slab , I have thrown better pillows away ! This hotel was not cheap and with hindsight I wouldn’t have booked it , should charge no more the £70-80 per night in my opinion as we stayed at a better hotel the night before with breakfast for less than we payed here, My option give this hotel a big miss!!

On arrival, the receptionist seemed to have a negative attitude and was far from welcoming. Two nights booked and paid in advance, but left after one. I never read the bit about paying to park (£5 per night) or breakfast. No fan in the bedroom, but could upgrade for an additional £60. We have stayed in many Torbay hotels over the last 40 years, but will never return to this one.

The first room we were given was not up to 3 star standard. We contacted reception the next morning and they were very considerate and we were offered an alternative room that was more acceptable. The location, food and the staff were excellent. We hope to return.

Staff were fantastic, could not do more to help you. Food was lovely. Room was very basic, but clean, only thing I would suggest is to place fans in the room as it was extremely hot. Other than that I would stay there again.

Will go back soon

Lovely friendly hotel, limited on amenities, for example no air con or fan, budget tea and coffee making, but staff and atmosphere made the day! Would go again even knowing this and only having 4 hours sleep due to heat in room 👍

I liked everything

Care to spot the entrance to the hotel is needed, as the road is busy. The hotel is comfortable. We had a problem finding the room, as the numbers of the rooms aren’t sequential. It would be useful to be told that when checking in as it was confusing. We attended a concert and it was lovely to have a room and avoid an hour’s drive home afterwards.

The pool was loving

We booked this quite spontaneous and last minute. We arrived around 9 pm and the reception checked us in pretty swiftly and pointed us towards the room. The main areas of the hotels have quite a rustic feel to it, however the rooms were fairly modern - thought the oil Painting with the food and lobster made me giggle Only thing that I did find negative was that the hotel was advertised as having a sauna - which is the reason we booked it. But the sauna was hidden away in the secret squash arena, and did NOT look like the picture on hotels.com. It worked fine, but it was tiny, no windows and let the heat out quite quickly. Additionally, it was basically impossible to find, and we needed a member of staff to take us there Overall i found this really funny, but I don't think you should advertise it as a facility of the hotel - especially with the current picture

We stayed at Livermead House while attending a special event. The staff were extremely friendly and welcoming. Dinner and breakfast were excellent. Recommended.

Wij hadden een kamer aan de achterkant van het hotel, zonder uitzicht en direct onder het raam de afzuigventilatoren van de keuken die tussen 7.00 en 22.00 uur continu aanstonden.

Building is dated mattresses not very comfortable floors very squeaky Big fan outside room comes on alot Can hear every noise from next room

The room we stayed in was lovely, but the bed was not comfortable at al. Had an inclination to outside and i was falling put of bed all night. Room to hot, with no AC.

The staff were great. The property is fantastic, there is scaffolding on the back of the building where but you hardly know there is work going on. We enjoyed our breif stay, and will stay again, and when we do, it will not be booked through Expedia.

Great staff very accommodating & very helpful. Rooms were small but ample size as didnt plan to stay in all day & room looked as if it had been recently painted. Too cold for the pool when we stayed but did jump in the hot tub & sauna. Definitely would stay here again

Party of women very noisy, generator noise constant

We had a lovely 1 night stay. The staff were very friendly and welcoming . Room had a lovely view though was a little tired looking. But was still very clean and comfortable. It was nice that they dont charge extra for parking and there was plenty of space. When we asked if we could takr breakfast in the room, the staff were so lovely and brought it to us. Pool was refreshing - we didn't feel rushed to leave. Would definitely visit this hotel again.
