very helpful staff who let us overstay a little while while we used the spa. Rooms simple but nicely appointed.
Sound proofing non-existent in the chalet rooms. Bath water warm but not hot.

The restaurant was excellent. We had really good breakfasts and evening meals there.
There wasn't the attention to detail we expected. We have stayed at the Salcombe Harbour hotel, where every member of staff cared about the detail. One example was the room care which could be hasty. But when something was pointed out, the errors were quickly and happily amended.

Hotel was clean, dinner was good, and lovely spa
We was on a babymoon and the hotel offered to leave fudge to make out stay special this didn't happen.
The hotel (including the room) was way too hot. Being 6 months pregnant didn't help but even the heat woke up my husband. We had to keep the door of the balcony open. During breakfast I felt ill due to how warm it was.
We was told breakfast was included (but it was not mentioned this excludes a cooked breakfast.)
The mini fridge is not free (we expect to pay for alcohol) but for over £600 for two nights I would of thought a bag of crisps would be included? The price list was well hidden.
The hotel rang us before our stay and told us about the Sunday lunch they offered. We booked a table at 6:30 but was told by the restaurant that they stop serving roasts at three. It wasn't the end of the world but I think it added to the disappointment.

Friendly staff. Nice location.
Unfortunately we had a room in the courtyard next to the entrance . Cars driving in and out early .
A workman was jet washing right outside all morning and workmen noisy due to the works . A room inside the main building would have been better due to the noise going on outside .

Everything. We are regular residents at the Harbour Hotel. The staff are all warm and welcoming and very efficient. The food was all delicious and our room was pristinely clean, beautifully presented, with luxury bedding, towels, slippers and wash products too. Love the complimentary gin.
The complimentary gin is a wonderful touch, but you then have to pay the pricey sum of £3.50, per small bottle of tonic water, from the mini bar. It slightly admonishes the original complimentary touch. We now take our own in.

The room was lovely and spacious and the bed was very comfortable. Easy to park. A lovely short walk to the centre of town. The staff were all polite, friendly and helpful. Spa facilities were clean and easy to access.
Food was delicious and nice views from the upper deck restaurant. Overall a lovely experience. Would certainly recommend.
The steam room seemed to not be working during our visit but no sign or advised.
The bathroom showed some signs of black mould in the sealant around the shower and limescale around the sink taps. But didn't affect my stay at all.

Location is ideal as we live local.

Sea views, warm and welcoming. Excellent staff.
Dining room is a large space and needs to be broken up into smaller areas with dividers of some sort when the occupancy is lower.

The room was possibly the smallest I’ve ever encountered and I have stayed in Paris many times, where hotel rooms are notoriously small

Overflowing skip bins at the front of the hotel.

The location was superb - the views from the room balcony and restaurant were magnificent
All the staff were very helpful & friendly
The restaurant and food were superb- both breakfast and dinner worth every penny.
The room was a little small despite booking a premium room with a sea view.
The bathroom was also small
Shower head needed replacing as the jets went everywhere and not just straight down.
It was also very hot even with all the heating turned off.
It would have been nice to have a wider selection of wine by the glass
9.0 / 10.0
The staff were all lovely; friendly, helpful, nothing too much trouble. The restaurant and bar area was very comfortable, welcoming, bright and had a great view. Breakfast and our evening meals were excellent- very tasty, a great choice and reasonably priced. The location, right on the seafront, was perfect.
Nothing really. We could have done with a reading lamp on both sides of the double bed.

Staff were excellent.
Evening meals were lovely.
Great atmosphere overall
We were lucky to get room 37 so fantastic space.
Room 26 was a lot smaller
Breakfast - we were often late down and found that some of the breakfast needed replenishing.
Spa - when you managed to get a bed they were often drenched so needed extra towels - maybe change them more regularly
Bill - maybe when it is itemised if its a JD and coke it is one cost rather than sift dring added separately
Room - ironing board more regularly available

Location, food excellent, nice room.
Poor door locks, inadequate illumination on stairs up to room 151. Inadequate signage on pedestrian steps which did not lead to a hotel entrance, would have been better if gate had been secured.

Comfy lounge before dinner.
Evening meal was excellent and the staff were highly efficient.
The room did have a sea view as requested but it was a small window on the side.

The bedroom was lovely and the breakfast very nice.
The bathroom was very tired looking. Some bleach and a toothbrush to clean up the mold and soap residue would go a long way to helping improve it.

Staff members were overall good, one young lady stood out from the rest, a trainee manager I believe, very knowledgeable about the business , she was on duty at evening meals, I had many great conversations with her , made us laugh and she was very attentive. Well done to her .
Room 15 bathroom door catches the floor when halfway open, forgot to tell receptionist about it

I wish it had been clearer when I booked that it was only a continental breakfast included. The room was lovely and a lot nicer than I expected. The use of the Spa was a bonus.

The hotel was modern and very clean . staff were helpful and friendly.
The picture of the hotel was not a true reflection. The hotel was on a hill .The room and balcony were small. The food was adequate although cooked breakfast not great. The bar did not open late.

Staff in spa (reception) weren’t that friendly - we had to ask all the time, they didn’t greet or volunteer information
4.0 / 10.0
The Manager in person and the GM were genuinely apologetic about the poor standards we experienced in the hotel
I wish them well on the work to improve these with their teams, all of these things are fixable for a business that cares
The view at breakfast is impressive
Bedding was visibly dirty
Dust had accumulated on the phone and bedside table; there was visible accumulations of dust around the edges of the carpets. A mouldy lemon in the ice box.
The hotel is in poor state of repair, with scuffs and damage to fixtures visible throughout. Water damage to ceiling and paintwork in the bar.
Staff attention to detail is repeatedly poor with cups and glasses not cleared, or orders not followed up on

Location
We were given a room positioned in an alleyway in an external courtyard, room no 158. The room was so dark you couldn’t tell whether it was night or day with a brick wall for a view. I raised the issue with reception and they acknowledged it as ‘not the best room’. This room should not be marketed as having a ‘Courtyard view’.
