8/10 Good
"The room was clean and the staff were very helpful. Hotel was in a great location, right on the beach! The amenities weren’t as advertised. The snooker table couldn’t be used as the cues were broken as were the pockets. Also didn’t see any sign of any board games unless I was looking in the wrong place, but they weren’t obvious! The room although clean and tidy was very small. You couldn’t easily bend down in the shower cubicle. Also I couldn’t get the soap dispensers to work. The sink in the bathroom was also too small and the shelf was in the way!! You couldn’t put water in your face without water going on the floor!"

"The hotel is in a quiet location yet you can reach the town centre by foot fairly quickly by walking through Victoria Park. My single room had a new bathroom and a view from the window. I was impressed by the spacious dining room where I had my breakfasts which were prepared especially for me. The TV in my room was newish and worked well."

8/10 Good
"Large clean room with sofa bed and a double bed. Small fridge and hairdryer. Large bathroom with shower, sink and toilet. Shower floods bathroom everytime due to not having a door/screen to floor meaning you have to use 3 towels on floor to stop this, bad design in my opinion. Breakfast was your normal buffet restaurant, nit a lot of gluten free options avaliable, asked for some gluten free bread and was handed one small slice. Hotel close to beach, and town so great location. Not enough parking for such a large hotel we had to park miles down the road in a side road."

"It was a lovely property very close to the beach and Paignton 10 minute walk into centre. It was on a busy road which was a bit noisy at night but with the windows closed it was fine. We were provided with a fan which kept us really cool. I would recommend this place. I think it’s really nice for a breakaway owners were really helpful nice breakfast all you could ask for🙂 a big smile"
