Clean room including bathroom, comfortable bed, welcoming staff. Lots of noisy seagulls in the morning though, but hey, this is the seaside!

Overall another good stay here, Mixed views on staff with most really welcoming and friendly while some are simply professional. Rooms are good but could do with some TLC due to worn paint work, window cleaning etc. Really good offering for breakfast. Overall good and would happily stay again.
Lovely hotel, right on the waterfront and very close to the town centre. Would definitely stay here again.

Welcoming staff, fabulous pool facilities and the real bonus was first rate entertainment. Magician and cabaret on a Sunday night was a perfect way to round of a weekend stay.
Lovely place to stay on the seafront. Spacious room, everything spotless, nice breakfast and friendly helpful staff. Enjoyable stay and would recommend.
All aspect were excellent, including parking and breakfasts. Only thing I did not use was the evening meal- no REAL fish dishes for Devon anyway.
Near the sea give us FISH and a good choice of daily fresh caught!!!!
