An OK stay
The hotel was just ok really. The welcome was good. Food was average, and bar prices I found quite high. The room we had was a little Dated, matress wasn’t very comfy. The shower had so much limescale we Cudnt use the over head shower as water barely hit u so trying to just use the removable part of the shower which wasn’t good when ur tall and the cubicle was tiny. Room was a good size however. The spa we had to pay to use which I thought was bad considering we already were paying for rooms, and this should have been free I felt for all guests. All in all it was OK but nothing more than that sadly

Perfect getaway
This is a great getaway hotel. It's just outside Torquay with views out over the bay and around the corner from meadfoot. The hotel has a mini spa which is perfect for unwinding. Proper full breakfast in restaurant with views over the bay.

Fantastic location, super clean, great staff and lovely food, only slight better if was the entertainment. There was a stand in lady with a guy playing the keyboards and the choice of songs was too depressing with not enough upbeat songs.

Superb location with coastal views in a well kept building. Excellent and plenty of free car parking. Food including breakfast of a very good standard. Rooms clean, comfortable and well maintained. All staff extremely friendly. Bar facilities and outdoor seating very good. Spa facilities on site. A good 20mins walk up hill from the harbourside. There is a bus service that stops a 10mins walk away.

Worst mattress I have ever slept on
A comfortable sleep is the primary objective for any hotel but these mattresses (both on the double and single in our room) should have been placed in the dump a few years ago. You could feel every spring and it rolled you to one side. The staff provided a duvet without a sheet to place over the mattress as the solution. I didn’t note there was no A/C as I took that as a given for a hotel near the beach, so a fan had to be requested from the barman as there was not a receptionist present at the desk when we attempted calling and then visiting. A real shame, as the building and location are great. They just need to reinvest in updating their facilities. Oh, and the fan in the bathroom didn’t work so that didn’t help with the heat in the room, as the windows barely opened.
