My stay at the hotel was amazing. The room was lovely and clean with a huge modern bathroom and a beautiful view across the bay. I enjoyed the fun touch of the Amazon Dot in the room. The service was top-notch, and I was pleased to see pet amenities available. The location was excellent, near all the local attractions and right on the beach. The dining experience was just fantastic, especially the mushrooms. Overall, a great value for money stay with excellent facilities.

The rooms were really nice and comfortable, though slightly noisy from the main road outside. They were clean and adequate, but I can't really comment on the size since we had single occupancy of both.

I had an amazing stay at this hotel! The room had a fantastic view of the sea front and was very cosy with a super comfy bed. However, it did get a bit hot and there was some noise from the main road outside. The location couldn't have been better, close to the sea and Paignton town center with all the amenities. The dining was absolutely delicious, and the venue was very nice with plenty of choice, though I wished for a bit more variety in the options. Overall, a great experience with some minor drawbacks.

The location was perfect, right on the sea front for watching the sunset, close to the pier, railway station, and a choice of restaurants. It was ideal for couples to access the beach and coast path.

The dining experience was very good with plenty of delicious options, especially the full English breakfast with fresh coffee. However, a bit more variety like fruit, cheese, and ham would have been nice.
