Nice stay

We enjoy the pool when we arrived. That was really nice after a long journey travelling to Devon. The hotel is in a beautiful location and a short drive to Torquay and Teignmouth. Plenty parking. Breakfast was very good but a bit slow with hot food orders. The hotel was full and they didn’t have enough staff to serve/ replenish food, which was a shame. Overall we had a very good stay and I would go back again.

Perfectly fine stay

We had a good stay. The was nice and roomy but just very hot - the window could only be tilted a tiny bit and there was a small fan provided - which didn’t provide much relief. They really should be fitted with A/c’s given a nights stay isn’t cheap. Staff were all lovely. We used the pool which we had all to ourselves. Breakfast was fine. Had expected a buffet but it was to order. Would’ve expected some cheese & cold meats options as well. The location is very pretty and the pub next door is lovely directly set by the river.

The location is fabulous with views across the estuary and wading birds. Also there is a walk alongside the estuary to a nature reserve.

A great location

Enjoyed 3 nights here in July 2025. The location is great - a quiet spot at the head of the Teign with river and countryside views, plenty of bird life on the mud flats and reeds. It’s a short drive into Teignmouth or Sheldon and not far to other resorts such as Dawlish, Torquay, Babbacombe and Paignton. There is an indoor pool and sauna plus a spa offering various massage treatments. The staff were all very helpful. Would definitely stay here again.

Oh dear will not return to this worsening location

We have been to this hotel, many times over the past 5 years, this will be our last time, very Disappointed by the attitude from the reception staff not trusted to borrow extn lead had to leave driving licence as security then demanded £10 for 1 hour later check out. Breakfast was also poor due to the coach parties, we weren’t warned about busyness and there was not enough personnel to deal with numbers Breakfast was poor with very greasy food Poor response when leaving with no pleasantries form the reception Could not believe how poor the cleaning was clearly staff not given time to clean properly see pictures

Good stay, great staff

Lovely staff and location. Special early Sunday breakfast laid on for us as we were in a cycling event- great gesture! Some of the decor is now dating and tiring a little, especially the corridors with heavier use. The gym area with aerobic equipment is carpeted and a bit smelly… maybe a new non-carpet floor? I’m being picky though! Overall a good experience

Excellent hotel

Room was good, clean. Was able to park near the room. location was good as participated in the Dartmoor Classic. Did not have the breakfast as I had to leave before breakfast started although the hotel were starting breakfast early for participants which was a kind gesture. Only fault was there were no USB Charging ports in my room.

The room was a good size, the bathroom could do with an update but was clean and usable. TV in the room was rather small. Breakfast was lovely but the conservatory could do with some fans as it was very hot. Great location, nice country walk from hotel. Pool and gym facilities clean and good value at the price we paid for the hotel and I would recommend the hotel.
