Beautiful place to stay
Pros:

Excellent hotel with beautiful views from a lovely balcony/terrace. Food great and a warm welcome.

Cons:

The heating was on and piping hot at 2 in the morning! bedrooms should be cool at night. I'm not sure why it was on at all as it wasn't cold.

Idéal pour un séjour déconnexion et grand calme.
Pros:

La vue , le cottage Beach est très bien aménagé , on se sent chez soi. Le personnel et la direction sont chaleureux et disponible ( navette carpark rapide ).

Cons:

Le petit déjeuner à 18£ est certes très convenable mais il souffre un peu au niveau du choix sur le buffet, le café en cafetière piston n'est pas notre préféré. La pente à 30% et les escaliers ardus sont un handicap pour les moins souples. La situation géographique présente des avantages ( proximité mer et calme reposant) et des inconvénients ( isolé de la ville dans laquelle on ne peut se rendre qu'en véhicule)

Very pleasant with polite, friendly and very helpful staff in all departments.
Pros:

Car parking service and their staff excellent.
Rest of hotel staff very good.
View of the sea and coastline magnificent.
There was a problem with a non-functioning lock first night in first outhouse but we were quickly moved and well compensated so that actually counts as a plus.

Cons:

Wasn't expecting an outhouse of sorts. It would have been even better if the rooms had had telephones in them in case of emergency because we had to use our mobile phones to call reception and the signal was sometimes poor. Reception was nearby, which was good.

incredible hotel with gorgeous views - will definitely be back!
Pros:

loved everything from start to finish! the view from the pub outdoor seating is incredible and all the staff were super friendly, especially with our puppy! Our beach suite was amazing, loved the views of the ocean, the deck chairs outside and the bed was so comfy! The beach near the hotel was also alot quieter than other areas of Torquey, will definitely be back!

Cons:

Only a couple small reccomendations, it would have been helpful when checking in if staff explained the local area abit more, for example there was a footpath right behind the hotel, they could have let us know about this and also explained how it worked with the papers, as we organised an FT for each morning but they did not explain that we had to collect it ourselves from reception, very small points as everything else was incredible!

A hidden haven
Pros:

The intimate proximity of the sea and stunning cliffs from the terrace reserved for residents only. It’s a perfect blend of quintessential old England with a contemporary twist (eg. the gorgeous spa). The service is as charming as the situation. This is a pure gem.

Cons:

Nothing - except I’d possibly consider stripping some of the pub wood to give it a slightly more rustic and more authentic feel.
