Tired but charming property

Lovely hotel although very dated in places but very charming. Some areas need attention but nothing to spoil our stay. The pool and spa are at an extra cost if you’re not staying half board and there is also a charge for the lockers, not what we would have expected.

Classy, traditional and great staff

It's a traditional, classy hotel. Service can be a little stretched at reception but the quality of the staff generally is a cut above the average for this grade of hotel. The restaurant is a reslly good experience. Although the menu is slightly limited the quality of the ingredients and the presentation is superb. The breakfast is full of choices and variety (with the exception of kippers as I recall - and possibly porridge...). The presentation is excellent again although cooking your own toast doesn't fit with the otherwise classy experience. There's plenty of free parking for guests, it's close to the shops, it's opposite the pier and it's a charming and elegant place to take a break. Paignton is lovely too.

Availability of rooms meant we had to book a triple room. Unfortunately we landed room 83 and the location of it was terrible. Across the corridor are 2 lifts so we were woken by activity in them and over exuberant guests. Adjacent is the Gents loo with the hand dryer blaring through the wall. Just along is the kitchen where noise is obvious but it is also accompanied by loud music sometimes. Additionally you do not need to be in the bar areas to be party to the music or entertainment - it is all very clearly heard from the room. We were also woken one morning to the answerphone in Reception being checked. So the psychotic shower which continually switched from hot to cold was the least of our concern. Room 83 is not a fit location for guests and had we been asked by the Assistant Manager how our stay was when we checked out we’d have been delighted to share this feedback in person and play some of the recordings made of the noise we were hearing from the room. A distracting annoyance is that the bar area plays different music to the adjacent seating area and reception, even when there is entertainment on. A lady last night remarked on her lack of concentration on a conversation due to having Whitney Houston music behind her but Earth, Wind and Fire music from in front of her. Simple appreciation and observation of the ambience would really help the hotel. The swimming pool and spa facilities were lovely and definitely made the stay.

Lovely old hotel, lovely big rooms. Unfortunately only one of our four windows could be opened. The room was stifling hot despite turning the radiators off. Staff all seem lovely. A few things let the hotel down really. Shower kept going hot and cold. A worrying old lift which clunked and banged. Our breakfast were held too long before serving as tomatoes were dried, the scrambled eggs were dried and crusty, but the food itself were nearer lukewarm than hot. The breakfast on the second morning was much better but looked a little lost on a big plate. Bar ran out of cider but l guess it’s the end of their busy season. Barman could do with training though. My beer had almost a quarter of glass of head!

One pack of biscuits between two people, Plastic cups for bathroom. Fan didnt work. Staff all nice and polite etx but the room's definitely not worthy of £120 a night.

Absolutely outstanding Hotel 🏨 and surroundings I can only imagine if I took a tour how more wow it would be, staff exceptional friendly and accommodating! Cleanliness of room, dust on top of cupboards a bit lazy! Some tiles in bathroom cracked needs addressing asap , room 45 asap!! Outside the hotel as you enter the pillars and archways need a jet wash full of bird poo very unattractive to say the least. The worst comes last £40 charge for my pets without no prior warning ⚠️ or knowledge! Some issues that need addressing! To make anyone’s experience a complete package 📦! I am so happy we stayed with you & we are very happy to come again as we felt so welcomed and loved 🥰 The grounds are kept to an amazing standard hats off to the up keepers!!! The singer a lady sang a song gave me goose bumps all the way through OMG Cake was lovely and thank you for the gift 🎁 Thank you for topping my beer up and making an extra effort the following evening & reading my mind likewise 😉 Stunning experience Impressive Would recommend to anyone especially if you change the sausages at breakfast time😂 :))) Thank you so much for everything Teddy&Dogs
