Dated facilities. Balcony is a shared flat roof.
Cons:

Paid extra for a room with a balcony, didn't realise this was shared with 5 other rooms and also open to the public. Dated facilities.

Pros:

The view was nice

Cons:

Paid £12 for overnight parking, thankfully kept the receipt because I received a parking fine through the post off which we are obviously appealing but could do with out the stress.
Also found an empty table in the bar area in the afternoon with reserved all day on it, on questioning this we were told the gentleman in question had gone back to his room and will return later??

Staff was friendly and food was excellent
Pros:

Friendly staff , great location and the food was excellent

Cons:

Having to compete with non hotel guests for tables or chairs in the lounge area or outside in the gardens because the 7 nights stay I had there was 3 weddings, 1 funeral and a prom so I couldn’t enjoy the gardens , property looked and felt a little dated

The beds were very comfortable and made for a great night’s sleep, which was definitely one of the highlights of our sta
Pros:

The location is excellent, just a 15 to 20 minute walk from the train station and to Torquay’s main harbour, with its wide selection of restaurants, bars, and attractions. It’s also conveniently close to bus stops, making it easy to explore the surrounding area even if you’re not travelling by car.

Cons:

While the stay was generally pleasant, there are a few areas that could be improved. The rooms would benefit from a thorough deep clean. We noticed sticky window sills and a number of dead flies, which detracted from the overall impression of cleanliness.

There also appears to be a lack of some basic facilities. Complimentary drinking water in the rooms would have been appreciated, and there was no secure luggage storage available after checkout. We were advised to leave our bags in the main reception area, where staff said they would keep an eye on them, but a dedicated secure storage area would provide much greater peace of mind.

Additionally, we overheard another guest mention that the windows in Room 9 do not open, which may be something the hotel wishes to address for guest comfort.

Went for my nieces wedding. Staff were incredible too many too mention. Lovely family hotel. Owner and manager really go
Pros:

Location was absolutely fantastic. Right on the beach. Dodgy wall and steps going down to beach that is actually blocked off. But at your own risk you can climb down the dodgy steps.

Cons:

The bright lights outside rooms ( but blackout curtains block this out )
