There is an en-suite toilet/wash basin and you have the exclusive use of a stand-alone shower-room which is just round the corner on the landing, which was very good indeed. The room was spotless, very comfortable and the bed was great - I slept like a log! A nice touch was a bottle of water in the room and this was refillable from the water cooler in the hall - ice cold! Hosts Malcolm and Mandy were lovely and very welcoming. I enjoyed their breakfasts, there's plenty to choose from and the full English was excellent. My room was tidied every day and anything I'd used was refreshed or replaced, so it was a joy to come back in the evening. It's a nice hotel, very close to some nice places to eat and only a short walk to the centre of Paignton, the beach, marina, etc. I'd stay there again in a flash. ##### Scott Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2018 ### 6/10 Okay #### Avril, Dorset Sep 23, 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Disliked: Room comfort #### Not my CUP of tea Briars was easy to find lovely colour building, only spaces for 4 cars at the front and one right next to the wall where I scraped the paintwork on my car door,The Owners are lovely and welcoming and the lounge is lovely and comfortable good taste of decor. Small bar which only stocks some basics Whisky,Brandy,Gin,Vodka,beer and Coke. We stayed in room 12 3rd floor again tasteful decor blue and white. Had a ensuite the shower was lovely and hot but the sink you had to be careful you didnt hit your head on it as you hovered on the toilet to do your business, also the tv which was small was on top of a wardrobe not overly a problem, the bed was a huge problem very hard and uncomfortable also we were itching from the bed sheets no drawers if you wanted they were built into the divan which was a pain each time lifting up the sheet, the breakfast was lovely shame no apple juice on offer just Orange or grapefruit, the sausages are lovely and breakfast was plentiful people seemed to struggle to work the toaster as it was a time dial one. From personal experience I would not visit again I dreaded going to sleep on the bed we stayed 3 nights. ##### Avril Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2017 ### 10/10 Excellent #### John S, Lydney Sep 10, 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great location / Great hosts This hotel is right on the sea front many rooms have sea views it is close to the centre, bus and rail station.
