a lift would have been useful esp. with luggage, no spa facility but understand lack of space, longer period for breakfast

breakfast choices, car parking, flexibility when reserving a table in dining room eg. just for warming soup at a later time. many dogs accepted

Our room was very small and would have liked a window to see out of.

we had problems with the fridge in our room bleeping telling us to shut the door when we had .

The location of the hotel was superb and the food was of good quality' very enjoyable stay. Although we didn't have a room with a sea view our room looked out onto some trees at the back and was quite restful .

Although we had an issue with noise from the bedroom above, the hotel moved us the next day into a quiet and larger room. The staff were superb and the food in the restaurant was very good. We would recommend this hotel to our friends and everyone..

Many small thoughtful gestures and real attention to detail with an enhanced service offering really sets this hotel over and above any other accommodation I have ever stayed at in the UK. The staff were all very friendly and helpful in sharing local information and knowledge so you could get the most out of your stay. Nothing was too much trouble. This is a hotel that is truly dog-friendly. Your dog is allowed everywhere throughout the hotel so they can join you for breakfast, lunch, dinner and in the bar! There is a wonderful welcome pack for your furry friend in the room consisting of towel, water bowl and a pack of doggy treats. Despite some pretty bad weather during the first half of our stay we didn't have to stress about cleaning up our dog as whole basket of dog towels supplied in the tiled entrance along with a basket to collect used towels. Great facilities including free parking, private grass area for dog walking, fridge, dressing gown/Slippers, heated/lit bathroom mirror and L'occitane toiletries - again just nice touches throughout

Sadly no air con in the rooms which when it’s hot is a bit tricky. We had a fan but that’s a bit noisy when trying to sleep also you the blinds were attached to the window which was like double doors so if you have it open at night all the light comes in. Would have also liked a bit more info about how to get to and from the hotel once you are there. There is a beach taxi which takes you to Salcombe which costs £4.45 per trip. I would have liked to know about water taxis, how and when they ran. Also because you are quite far from town it would help to have a mini bus to take people there. The drive to the hotel is a bit scary with tight roads and once my husband parked he wasn’t keen to drive anywhere until we left!

The location is stunning, the hotel is right on the beach. You can eat at the restaurant looking out to sea which is a treat. It’s clean and the breakfast is very good. A nice buffet selection of cereals, cold meats fresh fruit and yoghurts. Breakfast is included but lunch and dinner are not. The room we had was a double and was clean and modern. It’s all brand new which is nice. Tea, coffee and water are in the room with a little fridge. We didn’t like the feather pillows but they changed them with no issues. Staff were friendly and welcoming.

We found the beds a bit hard. Service in the restaurant was slow.

The hotel’s location on South Sands beach is exceptional. The decor and furnishings were to a high standard with a relaxed New England feel. Dogs were made welcome.

Too dog friendly for our liking, don't agree with dogs being in the restaurant. Found our room no.4 overlooking road very noisy from traffic and people. Found the ferry to Salcombe rather expensive.

Bar, restaurant and food were good

Our Room was fabulous but overlooked car park & public toilets. We appreciated hotel was a brilliant dog friendly hotel, however dog owners should stick to rules and not allow dogs on hotel furniture or on the beach!

Great location, fantastic room & wonderful friendly staff- nothing was too much trouble.
