Amazing venue and amazing staff and fantastic room
Pros:

We really liked the staff they were very friendly and attentive. The hotel also had a nice relaxed feel. We also received an upgrade that was a lovely surprise.

Cons:

As far as we were concerned we booked bed and breakfast. We were then told we would have to pay an extra £10 per person per breakfast if we wanted a cooked breakfast. We believe booking.com should have informed us of this when we made the booking.

Trés bel hôtel avec une vue magnifique sur l'estuaire. Il est idéalement placé pour visiter la ville à pieds . La chambre était spacieuse avec une terrasse et une vue de rêve . Plateau de courtoisie. Le Gin Salcombe offert est une délicate attention, Gin que nous avons acheté et rapporté. Parking . Trés bon petit déjeuner .Bon restaurant. Accueil chaleureux et professionnel

Excellent location, friendly staff with cosy rooms, pool, spa and cinema room.
Pros:

Friendly staff - valet parking attendant was excellent and staff on reception provided an excellent welcome. Lovely reception area with sofas, pretend fire, fresh fruit and water. Spa and pool were lovely and the cinema room a great find. Comfy beds in cosy rooms with fans when they became too hot. Excellent location and great breakfast options. Would definitely book again - rooms with views of the estuary are well worth it if you can! Salcombe is an amazing place, been coming for 30 years but always self catering, this hotel is a great option, especially if only staying for a few nights.

Cons:

Drinks at the bar were expensive and there was some noise from the road outside when the windows were open and even with the fan we needed to open them to keep the room from getting too hot at night. The two different prices for breakfast was not made clear when booking and neither we nor the hotel staff knew what we’d paid for in advance. In the end we chose the continental option, which was excellent.

Nice hotel - super location - be careful which room you get!
Pros:

The parking is well organised and our room which was facing the river was lovely.

Cons:

Our relatives stayed in room 301 however, this room was awful and whilst well appointed was like as described by a member of staff as Cell Block H - this room should not be rented out at over £200 per night. It is virtually below ground and in the recent heatwave have been intolerable. Such a contrast with our room.

Lovely view, lovely weather but slightly disappointed with the hotel
Pros:

The View was stunning but the hotel is a bit tired. No turn down at night or chocy on the pillow. Very old fashioned lift I used the stairs. Expensive room service.

Cons:

as above
