Couldn`t wait to leave

the location

Being treated like a second class citizen, particularly as I was forced to book via Booking.com. Different check-in times and additional charge to use the Spa!!!!!! Oh and the Breakfast was appalling, from the sachets of Nescafe Instant Coffee, to the total lack of healthy options and they call themselves a Spa!!!!

8.0 / 10.0

Great value, very comfortable.

A great location for a night at Babbacombe theatre. A warm welcome from staff and probably the best value breakfast anywhere we have stayed.

Some of the decor looks a bit tired in the communal areas.

Great stay BUT....

Close to everything... staff brilliant, nothing too much trouble

Dated building suffering damp and crumbling plaster in the room. Get it for the age of the building but caused issue with breathing problems due to conditions. But this wouldn't dissuade us from returning .. just needs some investment... longer term this is a jewel in the crowd you just need to look after it.

Well below average accommodation be warned

The location and the staff except for the manager 😡😡

Everything. It stunk, curtains were hanging off the rail, plaster and paint peeling off all over the place. Filthy dirty and the manager was so rude. The charge for each dog is £6.00 and you have pay that every night. We had 2 dogs so it made the stay expensive for what it was.

I wouldn’t recommend this hotel. We actually left a night early due to the bad experience. The hotel did give us a refun

The location was good, 10 minute walk to the beach

The fire doors slam very loudly every time someone walks through the doors, walls are paper thin so very difficult to sleep at night being able to hear other people conversations. Extra charges to use the pool just because we booked with booking.com is very bad. Beds very uncomfortable and shower didn’t work properly in the room.

6.0 / 10.0

Fine not amazing.

Good peaceful location. Super helpful staff.

Room was tiny and carpets filthy. Shower was installed 40 years ago. Check in at 3pm and out by 10am so if staying for one night no real time to use all of the facilities. Also if you book through here they charge you to use said facilities.

The staff was very friendly. I would recommend this place as being perfect for senior age xx

I found that paying extra for the swimming pool was not worthy. Unfortunately, the water was too cold. On the website it was described as a heated pool

The staff was friendly from the start, and work extremely well together, we enjoyed an evening meal in the restaurant an

Lovely welcoming staff, dinner evening meal was well organised and the even g entertainment was enjoyable. The rooms are a 3 star however I would stay again the down stairs bar and outdoor gardens with cafe was delightful . The outdoor pool and spa was very welcome int he sunshine with bar and restaurant service straight to the Sunlounger lounge. A 30 minute walk into Torquay itself with a few lovely restaurants nearby if you didn’t want to manage to walk. The staff of the hotel are super friendly and accommodating., this made this day for us

The bed room had everything you needed , a little dated but extremely comfortable.

Sweet hotel in a lovely location

In a lovely location it was only a few minutes to the beach. I enjoyed the heated pool and jacuzzi at the hotel. The staff were really friendly and helpful. The had a great little coffee bar too and outside seating area was nice

Cons about the room were there were no towels in the bathroom. The bathroom was extremely small and the room was dated.

8.0 / 10.0

Friendly, comfortable, well run hotel .

I have stayed many times over the years and it has always been clean, comfortable and good value! The staff are very accommodating and the atmosphere is very friendly and welcoming.

It would benefit from more parking but o realise that is not viable on site.

5.0 / 10.0

Overpriced, old fashioned, definitely not for family with children.

Hotel looks lovely outside. There is beautiful outdoor area to enjoy and relax when weather is nice. Location is great; close to seaside and many attractions (10-15 minutes). Staff are friendly and helpful.

We have been given room near by hallway and stairs so we could hear everyone going and coming around, it was a bit noisy. The room itself was big enough for our family of four however the bathroom bathtub was absolutely filthy; the ceiling had water stains probably from the flooded floor in room upstairs before. I got feeling as this hotel is for elderly people mainly; the price for the room was definitely overpriced; especially when you have to pay for extras - like breakfast or access to swimming pool. Interiors were very old fashioned.

Room was too hot and could have done with a fan in the room.

Shambles and filth

The location

They put my 7 year old son in a room on another floor, at the opposite side of the hotel so he did not use the room and we were charged for it. It isn't acceptable to put a 7 year old that far away from parents. The staff didn't charge us to use the pool on day one of the stay and did not mention any kind of charge for the facility, but the next day decided to charge us £7.50 for it. The hot tub was full of scum. The bathroom in our room was filthy with other people's hair on the floor, dirt in the bath, and had clearly not been cleaned for a very long time. The bedroom had an awful smell and the mattress was exposed with rips and tears in it. The staff made no effort to resolve the situation with our rooms so far apart so we decided to leave after 1 night and not stay for the second night. We would like a refund for the second night, and for the other room as my son could not sleep in there so far away. We have made a complaint via booking.com customer service but have not yet heard anything back. We do not recommend this hotel at all and the only nice thing was the location in Babbacombe.

8.0 / 10.0

Friendly, hardworking staffed hotel.

Good value, nice location, friendly staff.

The room wasn't ready at 3pm as advertised. The price I was charged £161 by the hotel was more than advertised when I booked it £154 on booking.com. It is only a small increase but it is incorrect advertising.

8.0 / 10.0

Well worth the money and thankyou to all the staff for a great stay.

Staff were excellent especially daisy, Aaron, Russell, and all the ladies in the restaurant and the internal coffee shop which was a surprise (great for working on laptop etc.). Bar was very good and the outside area is brilliant. Room has everything you need except little things like glass for water in bathroom but I didn’t ask and am sure staff would have found me one. One last thing it has a 24 hr bar which is not mentioned in booking.com so BONUS!!!

For the price you get what you pay for but I think you get more than you pay for here so nothing to complain about

Football weekend

The gardens and outside area we're lovely Bar area also good Lovely buffet breakfast plenty of choice

Our room was a bit dated very hot and a bit musty smelling also the quiet room we had to walk through to get to our room smelt really bad such a shame as we really liked the hotel on the whole

Good hotel close to the beach and babbacombe train all, as expected

Staff was very good, helpful, and friendly. The room was spacious, though, probably, in need of updating. The location is very good for the beach and very far from everything else.

Menu at restaurant was quite boring, breakfast was OK, basically though it is probably expected in 3 star hotel. It was extremely limited in desert and fruit choices, probably would be better not to have it at all or present it differently. Will be nice to have a small fridge in the room

2.0 / 10.0

Stuffy and not clean

The bedsheets were clean The terrace was nice

The room was incredibly stuffy and when we asked for a fan we found out we needed to pay £10 cash and they don’t accept cards. This was so late at night so going somewhere to get cash from an ATM was not possible. I felt so sick to the point I had to throw up as it was so stuffy and smelly in there. Also, the room wasn’t clean, I’d say it was rather dirty and the only clean things were the bedsheets. My husband decided to sleep in the car half the night because it was almost impossible to sleep there and also the fact that the cleaning standards were so low was absolutely one of the biggest factors in him deciding not to spend time in that room. It wasn’t advertised anywhere we should have CASH ONLY in advance in order to get a fan. Especially because we had our card down for the deposit etc so makes zero sense why cash is the only acceptable form. I have been to 3 star hotels before but none compared to this one. It has been very unfortunate as we only decided to go for this one due to its online reviews but they seem to be deceiving.

Nice place to stay, but not in a heatwave!

The outside dining area and sitting area with cafe were good. Location near Babbacombe beach was great. Jacuzzi and pool area was nice. Hotel is dog friendly which was a bonus.

Room was unbearably hot even though we had brought our own fan. Breakfast selection was poor compared to other hotels we have stayed in.

Definitely stay here again - fabulous staff

Check-in and check-out were so easy. The staff were fantastic, so helpful and kind. We loved the snack bar, and to be able to take the drinks to sit out on the tables and chairs in the garden.

If we wanted to be picky, the tea and coffee in the rooms weren't the best; but it was a small thing overall.

6.0 / 10.0

Improvement needed

We went on the perfect time to pool area as we had it for ourselves.

Car park was full, no space when we arrived. EV station is placed in a place where you are blocking other cars and you have no space to get out of the car as it’s by the wall and you need a lateral parking. We had to wait for someone to be in the reception for check-in, we arrived by 20:45 and last check-in time was at 21:00, according to their policy. The room is old, smells old as well and carpets need replacing as they’re smelling really bad. No fridge, we were lucky to have our cooling box in the car and brought it inside. We went by the pool, charged £7.50/person (it’s free if you book from their website and not from a third party - it was really nice to be advertised). They said it’s heated pool, no heat in that pool ever, my child was freezing. He has no access to sauna, steam room or jacuzzi as access is for over 16y old. In the pool they were small salamanders (or whatever they were as they look like salamanders) which was really unpleasant to see and my child wanted to get out of the pool as he was afraid.

Misleading when you book wouldn’t stay again

The location and the staff

Needs updating , the rooms are scruffy and old , the beds so uncomfortable .
