Great location next to coast path with views of sea

10/10 Exceptional

Beautiful hotel in the most stunning location. Fantastic for dog walking and miles away from anything. Beautiful views, with access to sea and sand. Lovely food, rooms are great. Sadly didn’t get to use the spa as was fully booked but very quiet in the hotel so not sure how had booked it!
Danielle, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

It would have been nice to have ironed linen. Also if staff were a little more interested in their guests rather than their mobiles. Overall a nice stay.

Great hotel in amazing location

Amazing hotel. Service was excellent. Location beautiful. A bit off the beaten track but not too strenuous walk to get to Salcombe for the day if you want.

4/10 Fair

Disappointing

We were quite disappointed with our stay. For the money we were hoping for better service and better food. Food was very disappointing throughout, often having to send back cold food and disjointed service even though it wasn’t busy. For the Sunday roast they couldn’t accommodate someone with Crohn’s which was quite poor. Overall customer service was quiet bad and we were celebrating but it was disappointing on many levels. Breakfast service was diabolical. After we paid then were asked for some feedback on our stay. We won’t be returning.

8/10 Very good

Amazing hotel! But little extra thought needed.

Hotel location was amazing with views that are superb! but we wouldn’t be going back as the lanes getting to it are awful and quite stressful! Staff were amazing and so polite but not enough so they were overwhelmed at breakfast and service very slow!

Great views, service & quality fixtures & fittings. Room rooms with comfortable beds. Could do with matching rooms available & pictures slightly better.

Utterly faultless

It’s rare to find a hotel that is better than it looks and states on its website. The staff were wonderful. The food and drink was amazing. Its remote location made it such a peaceful stay. Will definitely return.

Stunning property in a spectacular setting. The rooms, restaurant, terrace and lounge really felt as if they had been designed to make the most of the landscape with beautiful views from all parts of the hotel.

The main Restaurant let’s it down

The main restaurant. Where do I start ! The dress code T shirts! There is a bar dining for that. Let’s keep the fine dining to a minimum level of a collared shirt . 1 hour and 23 minutes to get the main course!! Potato’s burnt but cleverly served upside down !!!! And cold plates . Such a shame the hotel was great. Pool great . Staff Great . Tim

Much better alternative

The cleanliness of the hotel was shockingly bad. The disjointed service was frustrating. The indoor pool area was not fit for service, missing tiles, filthy floor (the maintenance man was walking close to pool with uncovered muddy shoes. The two ladies a the spa reception were especially worth mentioning for being amazingly unhelpful and lazy, well done you two!

Maria, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

We had a lovely room and view. Overall very impressed with the location, and style of the hotel. Our biggest grievance is the food that is very expensive . Sandwiches at lunch and cream teas in the afternoon would be a nice touch ,but at a reasonable price for both guests and walkers.

Not worth it

It’s average across the board with a wonderful view
Katherine, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Fantastic location, but access challenging. I was expecting something special for the price but was distinctly average. I always look for somewhere I can return, but will not bother going here again, maybe for lunch only.
