    Unfortunately there was a problem with the room we were allocated. Extractor fan in bathroom seemed to come on every 5 minutes all night, therefore no sleep. We were given another rom for 2nd night

    Staff polite and efficient. Catering was excellent. Entertainment good.

    Hotel Entrance is a little difficult for elderly or the less able. Water pressure on the shower kept dropping causing water temperature to fluctuate and become too hot at times. Bathrooms are very small

    Staff were very friendly, restaurant service was good, food was hot and nicely presented and enjoyed the variety of choice and complimentary drink.

    Scaffolding on the outside of the building but I guess this can’t be helped it would have been nice to be told about this before we got there though.

    The food was amazing and the staff couldn’t do enough for us even when things happened out of their control as there was a slight plumbing issue but this did not effect our holiday they were able to upgrade us and looked after us service second to none.

    We had a 3 night stay in sea view room, it was cracking, views couldn’t be beaten.There was a good choice for breakfast, we had a full English which was freshly cooked and was to order, good ingredients and portions. The Hotel is right on sea front a stones walk from the beach and the harbour, the town is less than 5 mins walk away and it’s all flat. Very pleased with everything.

    Would be wary of staying in the height of summer as the room got hot but I was able to open the window to fix this. Could do with privacy film on the window or netting.

    Good value and location. Seems aimed at an older crowd with entertainment put on (which didn’t bother me at all) - had a pleasant stay.

    Would definitely stay again but would like a sea view room next time.

    The only thing we didn't like was the location of the room. Our room was next to the rear entrance door where there was a car park and staff could use to enter. This door slammed shut for security purposes so it was noisy. Also people who smoked would use it first thing in the morning and the smell of smoke would come into our room so we had to keep the window closed.

    Last minute booking and only two rooms left, The two rooms left were on the ground floor at the rear of the property with only a car park and dustbins for a view but both had been recently decorated and were lovely so made up for no view. We booked a double room (69) but after looking at it decided it was a little small so changed to a twin room (67) which had more space. The bathroom was lovely with a wide shower and heated towel rail. Breakfast was very good with quite a wide choice on the menu and our waiter Tiago was very polite and efficient. We stayed for evening meals where, once again, there was a good choice and the food was generally good. The hotel was in an excellent location just across the road from the beach and within a few minutes walking distance from the marina for boat trips and into the town.

    Breakfast arrangements. Very busy because of the coach trips. Took orders, but 25 mins before coffee arrived, another 10 for food. They need more staff. But nice breakfast 😀 Decor a little worn in places.

    Lovely sea view room, though the fan in the bathroom was very noisy, specially if you had to use it during the night! Location excellent. Receptionist was excellent, very friendly and helpful

    The view from the window overlooking what looked like a back alley and the room was very warm, even with all the windows open. They couldn't provide me with a fan, so I had to cover my partner in a wet towel as the heat has a detrimental effect on his breathing. I am unable to comment on breakfast as we didn't have it, but I will say that breakfast is only available between 8 and 9 which seems a bit early to finish as some people like to have a lie in when on holiday.

    The staff were very helpful in finding us a ground floor room as my partner was struggling with his breathing. The location was great, just across from the beach and close to pubs and restaurants. We met with friends and had food/drinks at The Engine Shed which I would recommend. The room was basic but clean. The hotel could do with some updating. Not worth £127. I have stayed in far better hotels for much less. However, Exmouth Pride was on, so this could be why the price was so high.

    The bath room left a little to be desired as you couldn't get to the taps because a glass panel was fix in position.

    Breakfast was very good. The hotel in general is looking a little tied and needed some decoration work doing. Overall we enjoyed our stay. The staff were very good.
