We stayed here for a night on a room only basis. Check in was simple, parking wasn’t an issue but I did have to park in the long stay down near the sea front. Our room was a basic double on the 3rd floor. Turns out we had a sea view which was nice. The room was ok, bathroom very dated but functional. We would stay again.

Friendly stay with s sea view

Our stay started off with a bit of a hiccup, with our room not being ready but the staff were very accommodating and we ended up getting an upgrade with a sea view, this made our stay even better. Everyone was friendly and we enjoyed our stay very much.

Value for money - try and book parking in advance!

Staff very friendly and helpful. One member of staff working when I arrived, working reception and the bar! Bar not overly well stocked. Unable to park anywhere near the hotel had a ten min walk from where I parked. Room on the nicer end of basic, but good value for the price. Hotel in general is nice , great location, needs a lick of paint and some new carpets in places. I would stay again 👍

Nice to have a lift, disliked the shower set up,not enough grab handles and a bath slip mat would have made elderly people feel safer,the shower itself was a good high pressure .that was my main criticism

Adequate breakfast. Comfortable bed. Good view of the coastline. Staff very over worked, some working 16 hour days, others had not taken their days off for 3 weeks. Some improvement seems to have been made cosmetically, but needs much more. Unlikely to happen as the hotel appears to be for sale.

This was our second stay with the Royal Beacon Exmouth. We are already planning our next stay. The staff are all so lovely passionate and hardworking, you can feel the effort they put into the hotel to make your stay comfortable and welcoming. We made special requests and the hotel was more than accommodating. A special shout out to Emily and Liam we love you guys and hope to see you again soon.

It was a one night stay. Only used the room and had one drink in the bar. Very warm weather at the time so we found the room very warm and with no air con, had to have the fan running all night. But yeah, it was an ok stay and great for taking our dogs as there is a small grassed are right outside. Great local for beach etc

Very tired property and the room was unbearably hot even with the tiny fan going the whole time. The shower is scalding hot or cool - no in between. Apparently our carpet had been replaced only two weeks ago but the room smelt of dog wee/stale odours. The bathroom needs regrouting. The first impression isn’t great as you enter - a big hole in the wall where someone has maybe kicked it or punched it or something. Very odd that it hasn’t been fixed. Staff are lovely though. That’s one positive. But definitely won’t be back purely based on the tiny room and the need for a refurbishment and relatively expensive for what you get. Sorry.

Disgusting bathroom

I just wish there was a bit more pride taken in hygiene standards. Ultimately, this comes down to management — if the managers don’t set even the most basic levels, the cleaners will naturally cut corners. The room itself was not clean. The walls had random dents and visible damage, while the shower area was covered in mould and dust had gathered everywhere. A basic bottle of bleach costs less than £1, so there’s really no excuse not to maintain the bathroom properly. On a positive note, the reception staff were very friendly and welcoming.

The property was okay, and had only breakfast to offer, the rooms were stuck in a time warp. Very outdated and needed replacing. The cost of the limited parking was overpriced. Parking in the road outside hotel is free.
