The property had beautiful decor and friendly staff.This was an upgrade from another hotel.The lunch sandwiches were delicious and well priced. My daughter and I were pleased with our room and loved the light up dressing table mirror. It would have been handy to have a key each. My husband snd son had no heating in their room and the window rattled so they didnt get a room as good as ours. Apart from that we were very happy with our stay.

Loved staying here for a couple of nights. Close to the train station so could walk to wherever we needed or jump on the train to Paignton, every member of staff we encountered was friendly and professional, and it was nice to have a dip in the pool. With this place don't expect a lavish room but good service and a room which is decent enough to rest your head for a few nights.

They had an event that was so loud that I could hear it through my ear plugs and wall on another floor. I called to ask to turn it down and they said there was nothing they could do and it wouldn’t be going all night. The noise did not stop until around 1am and I had to be up by 5am. Poor customer service.
