Charming family run hotel
Pros:

It’s a very quickly older building. Made me think of where dirty dancing was filmed. Lots of different rooms.
The staff were lovely particularly the receptionist who checked us in on Thursday. But all the staff are great!

Cons:

Rooms are a little dated but that added to the charm

Pleasant traditional family hotel with (mostly) great staff.
Pros:

The location, and ‘traditional’ vibe.

Cons:

One of the bar staff. The app used to order food and drink at your table is great, and it has a section for ‘notes’. On two orders I asked for some ice with my drink. I wasn’t at the table the first time drinks arrived with no ice, so I asked for ice when the next drink was delivered, explained I had asked on the app, only to have a huge huff from the waitress and the bar chit thrust in my face( not showing the note re ice) clearly an issue the app not translating the note to the bar, which I explained, but to be ‘huffed ‘ at next to other customers and treated like this was by someone who, even if the owner family member, should not be in hospitality.

Incredible location/ dedicated staff good facilities
Pros:

Absolutely stunning location overlooking the sea with a small but functional outdoor pool and paddling pool. Lots of places to sit in comfort both inside and outside. Excellent facilities tennis courts/ inside pool/ snooker / kids outdoor playgrounds/ soft play room . All at no extra cost . Staff are welcoming , kind and professional. My only thought was the tea trays we would have liked some bottled water and hot chocolate for the room / perhaps expected better tea grade than tetly given cost of room? English breakfast and or decaf tea would have been lovely. Good choice of biscuits though !!! Love that there is air conditioning in the rooms - much needed these last few nights. Food is pricey however very good quality and available at most times including room service note the £5 per tray. We loved this hotel true mixture of old fashioned charm with modern hospitality. We came and stayed Saturday night and then used their facilities as it was so hot the girls loved the outdoor pool.

Cons:

When you book through booking.com breakfast is not included additional cost of £15 per person feels harsh after spending £229 on a room. Plus as above see tea trays !

A beautiful short stay - wishing we could stay longer.
Pros:

Breakfast was in the top class of its type (traditional English breakfast), location was superb with some high quality hotel features such as inside & outside pools and a comfortable lounge. Quite a spacious room.

Cons:

Curtains were not blackouts or even nearly so, so it was hard to stay asleep in the morning.
No lift was seen. There was a genuine old-fashioned air about the hotel which many seniors would appreciate- but not youngsters. It was expensive.

Loved the actual hotel/view. However, it would vastly improve the hotel if it had spa facilities
Pros:

I had a problem with one of the bar staff regarding a payment she overcharged me and was supposed to reimburse me but instead took a further £16 out of my account she did finally get it right but it didn't do In my account t unil two days later.
The hotel was clean generally good staff but a lot of waiting to be served.
Very disappointing that such a large beautiful hotel did not have a sauna/steam or Jacuzzi it would have really improved it. I feel this is particularly important during bad weather.

Cons:

There was no sauna/ spa jacuzzi which would have been great during the appalling weather.
Staff were very slow and made mistakes 😕

Pros:

Le déjeuner était bien, le personnel est très aimable. Le bar de l'hôtel est sympa également

Cons:

L'hôtel est vraiment vieillot, je n'ai jamais logé dans un hôtel autant kitch ! La situation géographique, c'est une catastrophe si vous n'avez pas de voiture. Il n'y a strictement rien aux alentours. Même si il y a un bus pour se rendre à Dawlish, en décembre, n'espérez pas trouver un pub ou un restaurant ouvert, ils sont presque tous fermés, alors qu'ils sont annoncés ouverts sur google map.
