Took my parents (elderly, mum disabled) away for three nights to ‘see the sea’. Allocated Room 5 and 7 - fantastic accessible room/ double room. Rooms clean and comfortable. Reception staff friendly and helpful - especially the young woman who welcomed us on our first day. Great location. Quiet, but close enough to local attractions.

I will start the review by stating that me and partner have used Premier Inn hotels on multiple occasions over the years and have had very few issues. We booked for 6 nights starting on the Sunday. …

The rooms are lovely and comfortable as always with a premier inn but our dining experience was something else. It’s order at the bar service and only one member of staff taking orders which meant a long wait with no apologies. The food was mediocre and more like a roadside cafe than a restaurant but the worst thing was the cleanliness of the dining area, it looked as though it hadn’t been cleaned or vacuumed for weeks. Looking down from our table at breakfast we found old butter packets and a whole lot of dirt and grime which is the last thing you need while dining, as you can imagine this was enough to put us off our Luke warm breakfast!

Great hub of a family stay for local attractions and destinations. We stayed there as a great base for steam train railway into Dartmouth, as well as Paignton zoo.Beach location is ideal if you have young kids and you promised them a beach holiday with beach practically on-site. There is also a water park next door if that’s something you fancy.In the evenings you can take a stroll up the sea-front, up the cliffs and into the village on the other side, great views and sceneryAll and all, great experience and value for money, especially on a budget

Lovely location. Just do your homework before you go.|I've read 1 star reviews stating there was no lift and that the staff were unhelpful.||I'm not sure why bad reviews have been left on that basis.  …

With only a short walk to the beach, the view was stunning. Really amazing location with so much to do. The service at the hotel was great. The morning breakfast had a good selection and generally really friendly accommodating staff. Will definitely return for another wonderful break with the family.
