    Amazing staff made our stay special!

    We had a lovely time with family! The staff were super nice, especially Nicky, who was so helpful and friendly. The room was clean and comfy, and breakfast was a great buffet. Only thing was the parking – it was a bit tricky on the streets, but we managed. great value for a family trip!

    out of order lift
    funky kettle water

    I enjoyed some delightful meals here, especially with fresh local produce—can’t get enough of those organic veggies! The evening entertainment was a right laugh, and the staff were properly friendly. Oh, and Jade at reception? An absolute gem!

    The lift was out of order, so it felt like we were training for the Olympics with all those stairs! The water from the kettle tasted a bit funky, and paying for WiFi? Nah, not really my cup of tea.

    dated facilities

    The rooms are overdue for an update, especially the bathrooms which are quite dated. Showers lack power, and the sound insulation isn't great—nighttime disturbances from neighbors can be annoying. The back entrance gives off a less-than-ideal initial impression, with worn carpets and paint. Encountered some uninvited guests during meals, which affected the dining experience. little quirks here and there detracted from what could have been a solid stay.

    good food but noisy room

    The evening meal had a great variety and was of exceptional quality. The reception staff handled our room change with impressive efficiency.

    We experienced noise disturbances from another room during our first night.

    This place suits me perfectly with wi-fi, 24-hour reception, and a bar/lounge area. The staff were so helpful to my elderly parents on my first stay, which I remember fondly. The entertainment is also very good!

    Great location with friendly staff

    I stayed for 3 nights in a Standard Double Room. The location was fantastic, providing easy access to local attractions, and the staff were genuinely friendly and accommodating. The breakfast was good, with a variety of options available each morning. the room could use some updates and maintenance, as there were a few minor cleanliness issues that detracted from the overall experience.

    great location
    damp room
    noisy guests
    unclean bathroom

    I booked a standard double room for a weekend getaway and had high hopes based on previous stays. The location is ideal, near Babbacombe and Oddicombe Beach, and easy to reach from the main road. Reception staff welcomed us warmly and were helpful with any queries. The breakfast spread was good, with plenty of options on offer. Unfortunately, the room itself fell short. It had a lingering damp smell, and the radiator didn't work, making it quite uncomfortable. I also found the shower cubicle was dirty. Noise from the hallway made it hard to relax, and hearing arguments between other guests added to the stress. Staff were polite but seemed overwhelmed at times, leaving us to deal with our issues on our own. The entertainment options were decent but lacked variety and could be improved. Considering the reasonable price, I expected some basic comforts to be in better shape, like a clean bathroom and functioning heating. I wish there had been more attention to detail in maintenance and cleanliness, as I see the potential for a great stay here.

    convenient location
    clean bathroom
    easy check-in
    poor soundproofing
    unhelpful staff

    Staying here for a couple of nights was more of a challenge than expected. The noise from other guests was disruptive, and the lack of proper soundproofing made it hard to get a good night's sleep. While the location was convenient for my plans, the overall experience was marred by the poor condition of the rooms and service issues. I found the staff to be less than accommodating, which contributed to my dissatisfaction. I wouldn't choose to stay here again.

    Couple getaway for the budget-wise

    Had a fantastic experience with some very helpful staff, particularly one guy at reception who went above and beyond to make sure our stay was comfortable. Breakfast was surprisingly good with plenty of options that filled us up for the day ahead.

    It wasn’t exactly cheap, but it was acceptable considering the circumstances.
