Overall okay

First appearance, the hotel looked okay but also needed some TLC inside and outside. The bedroom although looked clean, overall in places especially in the bathroom could do with a deep clean. The soap dispenser was not working and the TV remote definitely needed cleaning. The room was very warm and the thermostat on the radiator was not working, therefore we could not adjust the heating and the windows would only open slightly, which was deliberately set up that way. The bed was very soft and spongy definitely needed a new mattress. The spa area is definitely overpriced not worth the £10 charge. Whilst we were here the steam room and sauna was only lukewarm our bedroom was hotter. In the morning the breakfast was very good, good selection of items, very attentive service and a very pleasant view. Overall, not a bad hotel, but not great either.

The food was outstanding. We are in the bar area and the staff were amazing. Breakfast was delicious and a lot of choice. The evening entertainment was brilliant. The shower was terrible. We only stayed one night as we were attending a funeral so only used it once and we were in a hurry. At checkout, I mentioned that the shower needed attention as the water was barely flowing and that it was either scalding hot or ice cold. My cousin had ended up washing her hair in the sink. The receptionist was not really interested and said we should have called down and they would have sent someone up.

An OK stay

The hotel was just ok really. The welcome was good. Food was average, and bar prices I found quite high. The room we had was a little Dated, matress wasn’t very comfy. The shower had so much limescale we Cudnt use the over head shower as water barely hit u so trying to just use the removable part of the shower which wasn’t good when ur tall and the cubicle was tiny. Room was a good size however. The spa we had to pay to use which I thought was bad considering we already were paying for rooms, and this should have been free I felt for all guests. All in all it was OK but nothing more than that sadly

Perfect getaway

This is a great getaway hotel. It's just outside Torquay with views out over the bay and around the corner from meadfoot. The hotel has a mini spa which is perfect for unwinding. Proper full breakfast in restaurant with views over the bay.
