Ashton Court Hotel

Great staff and breakfast, some updates required but comfortable

We enjoyed our stay with our little dog,who was also looked after with a sausage for breakfast. Room was excellent & lovely views & staff were so friendly & polite & very helpful. A lovely couple of days & would definitely go again for longer.

Good base for exploring Exmouth and environs.Hotel staff and facilities good. The only problem was ratio of parking spaces to number of rooms If you were lucky enough to secure a space you were reluctant to vacate it. All the adjacent streets were always full.

Excellent value

I had the most wonderful stay from the time I arrived with the friendly staff and laid back atmosphere of the hotel, the room had everything we needed with an amazing panoramic sea view, the hotel was lovely and quiet and the breakfast was excellent I am going to be back soon as the cost was very reasonable, full marks to this lovely hotel with character.

The breakfast was lovely, absolutely no complaints, plenty of choice, fresh and hot. Free wifi , nicely decorated dining room and bar area. Friendly staff and to saybits 2 star isnt fair ,its definitely better than that.

Good stay. Comfortable. Excellent breakfast. Pleasant staff.

Room was very clean. Staff were very friendly. Breakfast was very tasty and was included in the pricevof our room, which we did not expect.

Friendly staff, very comfortable, delicious breakfast and 5 stars for the sausages from Mouse (the dog)

Staff very friendly room was clean but small great situation very good breakfast

The room 210 was tired, needed a make over and a good clean especially the carpet. The bathroom window would not close, and there was damp on the ceiling.

Breakfast was good. Coffee too strong. Shops were a good walk away.

Breakfast excellent. Good quality food served promptly by friendly staff. Room a little tired - particularly the ensuite. No complimentary toiletries other than soap.

Very friendly atmosphere & helpful. Easy to check in parking available too. Very close to the promenade & beach. Railway station within walking distance & plenty of places to eat if not at the hotel. Stunning breakfast & all the staff were lovely.

Lovely sea view. Nice hotel with character. Bathroom needed some tlc. Good that included breakfast which we sat in bar to have as had our dog with us.

Polite and helpful staff , nice choice for breakfast. Beds comfortable room clean if not a little tired. But good.

Old fashioned hotel rather dated and shabby in places but clean and welcoming. Location excellent overlooking sea close to everything. Added bonus of private gardens front and rear to relax in. Staff couldnt be more helpful. Made a pleasant change from corporate style hotel chains. The Aston Court is more net curtains and comfy chairs in the lounge/bar.

The hotel is rather grand looking and conveniently faces the seafront although I didn't have a seaview room. The hotel is old and smells truly stuffy in the corridors that I had to hold my breath. The room has kettle tea/coffee facilities, tv, bathtub and a great shower. I couldn't use the bath as there was rust around the plug hole and so not particularly inviting (as did the sink). I was quite cold in my room during the day so went to use the extra blanket in the cupboard but it smelled so bad, in fact I couldn't use that cupboard at all to hang my clothes as that too smelled rather bad so i just used the chair to drape my stuff over it. The duvet had a cigarette burn on it and the bed wasn't so great. It was super basic. That said, the staff were great, helpful and super friendly and the breakfast options were fantastic with delicious mushrooms and scrambled eggs and excellent coffee.

Fast Reception .Frendly staff Very Greasy breakfast swimming in oil which was a pity..for us statin users.. All in sll good but mot wkrth 109 in september

The staff were very friendly and attentive. The breakfast was also very good. We did however have problems with getting water hot and cold to the shower being on the second floor. Although the rooms require updating they were very clean and value for money. I did find the mattress slightly uncomfortable and would probably recommend renewing.

Helpful and courteous staff

I spent three nights at Ashton Court Hotel in Exmouth and it was a pretty poor experience all round. The hotel is extremely dated and run down. The staff are nice enough but working in premises that need some updating. Carpets are dirty, decor is tired and facilities are cheap. My room (202) wasn’t particularly clean when I arrived, although the bedding was and actually very comfortable. Rooms are so close together that you can basically hear noise all the time, and slamming doors and creaking floorboards don’t help! I tried the bar on the first night which was fine. I attempted to use it on the third night but there was no sign of anyone to serve me so I decided to get a drink elsewhere. The TV in my room didn’t work at first until I fiddled with the aerial cable and it suddenly sprang into life. The shower in my room was particularly dangerous as it seemed impossible to regulate the temperature with any consistency. It was either scalding hot or ice cold and every small attempt to adjust it caused a dramatic swing to the opposite of what it was doing. That wasn’t enjoyable at all. On the second day there were plumbers on the premises and signs displayed advising there could be an interruption to water supplies. It didn’t particularly bother me as I was going out but with a relatively full hotel that’s unfortunate. All in all a disappointing experience. I accept it’s not the most expensive hotel but certain aspects of it could be improved in my opinion. I won’t be returning.

After a slight misunderstanding about our two canine companions, we were given a bigger room and a discount for the pups. The room was a little dated but clean and comfortable. Breakfast was ordered and brought up from the restaurant to the modern and spacious dog friendly bar area, extra sausages for the dogs went down well. There is large unsecure garden at the back with squirrel entertainment and the hotel is close to the high street and beach. Anastasia and the team were very friendly and helpful, we would definitely stay again.

Very comfortable. Lovely atmosphere. Friendly staff and with great views. Highly recommend. Thankyou for a great stay. We will be back.

Amazing staff made us feel more like friends than paying guests. room was very clean and comfortable, only slight downside was if you wanted a shower you had to play Russian roulette with the temperature as the shower was incorporated with the taps so any change in water pressure dictated if you were cold or scolded. Easy fix we used the bathtub. So no real issue. Would use again without a second thought.

Lovely stay, asked if we could swap rooms with the sea view and luckily there was one available and were offered one. Shops and town centre are 10/15 mins walks away and is convenient

Dog-friendly whether as a solo traveller with dog, or larger group. Staff at reception and others I saw very helpful, nothing was too much trouble, very friendly. Garden (not enclosed) at rear of hotel, with bin for those with dogs, or over the road at front of hotel, both had seating. If you have mobility issues, steps at front and rear of hotel, handrails present, and a lift inside hotel. Hotel room had twin beds, was clean and had soap and towels, hair dryer, TV, tea and coffee facilities provided. Bring own towel for beach/furry friend. Handrail at bath. Everyone seemed to settle down early at night, it was quiet. No evening meals provided but large breakfast choice. Solo travellers could order and eat in the bar area as dogs not allowed downstairs. Dogs could have a sausage brought up for them, which staff asked about each morning. Only blip in whole stay was last morning at breakfast when unknown staff member wasn't quite as friendly as everyone else I'd encountered. Overall, however, a very positive experience, happy to stay there again.

I booked 2 double sea view rooms, what I got were 2 broom cupboards at the top of the hotel that you could barely move round an you had to watch your head incase you banged it on the roof. Admittedly they did overlook the sea an did have double beds forced into them but if you knocked both together it still wouldn't be up to standard. The floors squeaked and creaked any body underneath probably had a terrible time. They also were not level,the slope on them means you perpetually feel drunk and stagger about. Cleanliness and staff were fine, breakfast was good.

Great Hotel, reasonably priced, clean and had all the basics. Was only a 1 night stay to meet some friends, however I became ill overnight and felt really unwell in the morning and couldn’t stomach breakfast but they gave me water and offered anything they could to make me feel better. The staff were really kind and helpful and made sure I was ok before checking out. This is above and beyond any service I have encountered and I am truly grateful for their hospitality and would definitely come again and recommend to all.

Our room was very small and the en suite shower was tiny! That being said, it was all very clean. Staff were nice and polite. The breakfast options were good. The ‘garden view’ from our room left a lot to be desired and there was a fire door down the corridor from our room which banged shut everytime someone walked through-right up until 4am. There was very limited off road parking. Overall, the hotel is nice and is in a good location, close to the beach.

Shower needed an upgrade

Excellent service, friendly and helpful staff. Room was just right and the breakfast was supurb
