    Stain on bed side but they did cleaned it off for me- however it felt a bit dirty after seeing this so obvious in the room . The bathroom light didn’t work , spa an additional price- should be included for all prices.

    Breakfast excellent, location lovely, good value for money , nice decorated main areas

    clean and tidy Hotel it has a 8/10 from us.

    what a gem of a place. staff, food, and accommodation were all O.K The only downside is that the location was good for parking, but you will need to walk up and down steep hills to get to Torquay.

    The cracking of movement above due to the old wooden floor boards. The décor was a bit dated and the beds could be more modern and more comfortable.

    Beautiful place and very clean. The restaurant served good food. The staff are very helpful and pleasant.

    Shower was over the bath and lacked pressure and heat at busy times.

    Excellent location with lovely views. Great for walking if you can cope with the steep climb from town. Would recommend.

    We have stayed here before, breakfast choices have been scaled down a bit, but plenty of what was on offer. We had been visiting family and arrived back at the hotel at 11.15pm after a long drive. We wanted a nightcap to take up to our room but even though the bar manager was there he would not serve us as he was cashing up, I did not need to pay as my credit card was linked to my room, but the answer was still no ? I thought as we were staying there this was a bit off.

    Room 142 Beautiful updated bathroom, lovely sea views, the bedroom was a little bit tired, could do with some TLC, lovely and big though. Lots of different places to sit downstairs with different views for my parents who are in their 80s and 90s.

    The jewellery, bags and other items for sale were cash only. This would not have been an issue if there was a cash machine available.

    The food and the stone massage particularly stand out.

    The room was very tired, dusty and there was rubbish on the floor in the bedroom and bathroom. Also it was extra to use the spa facilities.

    The property is situated in a great location, we a wonderful view. There’s parking and an EV charger which was extremely helpful. The buffet breakfast was great value and very tasty.

    The only thing I will say is if you have any issues with mobility, be prepared to take taxis as its a steep walk from Torquay center.

    For the price we paid, we had an excellent stay, staff at breakfast were so nice and the breakfast it's self was a very tasty spread! Spa was amazing. At first we thought £10 per session,per person, was a bit much but it turned out to be worth every penny. stunning views.

    Water pressure was terrible, like a drizzle. Water was temped in shower. Pretty unpleasant. Loud children playing the piano at 2230 for quite a while. Hard pillows.

    Beautiful view. Pretty location near cliff trails. Free parking. Great price. Had kettle and tea/coffee.
