Beckland Beach

I liked the warm reception

Not really used to 4* hotels and the hushed tones around the communal areas. Service was excellent and it’s hard to fault the hotel at all.

Great little breakfast to set you up for the day, plenty of choice along with a cooked breakfast, various pastries, yoghurts etc. Comfy robes and slippers, huge bed. Staff are very helpful even if they cant always help, i.e, no ear plugs available at reception, as our room was opposite the funfair and theres no air con the window had to be open so they would have been helpful. Special shout out to Chloe for arranging cakes for my partner after i mentioned in passing it was her birthday. Pool, sauna etc not great but are not advertised as luxury so dont go in with high expectations and you'll be fine. Gym was ok. Lots of older clientele due do the hotels excellent access, which was no issue for us. Location was good for getting to Totnes and Cockington and around a 15 minute walk to Torquay centre so pretty good location by the sea front. All in all, for the price point, would recommend as a base to fuel up on brekkie, travel from, then come back to a friendly reception and a comfortable, if slightly warm, room.
