A nice place to stay for a few days. The lack of evening food may be awkward in bad weather. The lack of parking is a problem.

Very friendly staff and welcoming. Booked for a dog friendly room which was fine. Carpet already had some hair on it and didnt look the cleanest. But otherwise, room was clean, sheets clean and bathroom. Tv worked fine as well. Bed was comfy and very spacious room. We didnt eat there but it smelt fgood in the morning. Great value overall and we would stay again. Location is great to walk to the sea front and we were lucky and able to park on the street outside. Only issue we had we didn't find a hairdryer in the room but as it was late we didn't ring down to check.

The hotel is in a great location, amazing sea view.it’s an old building with a lot of character.the room itself was comfortable but bathroom very dated and dark Staff very friendly and helpful, dealt with any requests straight away, even though they seemed short staffed. We were on room only basis so can’t comment on food.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The Staff were very welcoming and friendly, and my check in was quick and easy. The room was a decent size, and everything was clean, including the bathroom. It's a good location as it's only a couple of minutes walk from either Exmouth town centre or the seafront. It is an older building, so getting to and from the room requires a fair bit of up and down stairs. The room was quite warm, and tricky to have the window open (seagulls!) - no a huge deal.

Great place to stay, friendly staff and great place for an escape , will definitely book again when coming back to Exmouth. Car park free outside but to find it could be challenging, or you can pay the hotel to use theirs (booking needed tho) Overall 👍👍😎

Overall a pleasant stay though the room was in need of refurbishment as the cabinets were outdated and seams on of the wallpaper were visible and some minor cracks in paint, bathroom tiles etc though nothing major. Cannot fault the service of staff! Comfortable bed and very clean!

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Despite seeing photos of the hotel online, the actual condition and appearance was not as expected. Our room was far from it. Generally the main areas of the hotel were tired-looking and outdated. We only stayed for one night but it was a very uncomfortable one - our room was tiny, with dirty carpet and obvious dust. The bathroom facilities were clean as was the bedding but things like handles on furniture being rusty were not pleasant. There was one small window which didn’t allow for much airflow, making the room stifling. One positive was upon calling reception, they quickly brought up a fan (which my partner had to fix as it was rattling loudly). Neither of us slept properly. Another issue was the door-locking mechanism which, upon leaving, would not lock until either a few minutes had passed or we scanned the keycard (we couldn’t tell which, and this wasn’t explained). We left feeling uneasy about our belongings being left in the room. When we returned for the evening, the inside lock would not stay and took repeated attempts to remain in place. We did use the chair to block the door in case. We left feeling like we would not be returning.

Needs a good clean!

Bed was comfortable with clean bedding and towels. Furniture and decor dated and could do with an update but the cleanliness of the room was the issue. Thick dust on top of pictures and behind TV etc

Wouldn’t stay again unfortunately

Reception were lovely - we were put in the annex building right at the back of the hotel, room unclean dush on the sides and windows. Shower had mould round the rims of things - and the room had a very damp like smell - this morning on check out I felt like I couldn’t breathe. Condensation everywhere, wall paper coming off the wall- guessing due to damp. Nice location and staff very lovely and friendly but wouldn’t stay again. There is about 8 parking spaces for a 52 bed and you have to find your own parking if you don’t get one of these spaces. Side streets or somewhere else in town.
