1. 30 Trinity Mews - coaching mews just a few steps from harbour and town centre in quiet cul de sac -

Torquay City Centre

"Arrived at the Mews and had difficulty finding keys as instructions were not very clear. I had paid extra for a parking permit and no permit was provided in the unit, had to pay again to park car on street as we were warned that they monitor these streets day and night. We booked this unit as we needed to do some laundry, it lists a washer and dryer in the amenities to find out we only had a washing machine and no dryer. Tried calling the housekeeping number and did not get an answer till 9am...

Top Dawlish Hotel Reviews

The Imperial Torquay

10/10 Excellent

"Good hotel, great staff and a fantastic view!"

The Grand Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The staff at this property are simply fantastic, so helpful and friendly, it really makes you feel like a valued customer. The facilities are as you would expect from a 5 star resort although the maintenance and cleanliness could definitely be better. Having said that the resort was in peak season for our stay and I appreciate that some of these things need attention when the hotel is not so full. Our room was great and comfortable enough, albeit a little tired and a few things did not work (which were reported) such as the safe and TV but it did not spoil our stay. Breakfast was plentiful and fresh/hot and the dining room was spacious. The staff worked really hard to clear the tables and keep the food items well stocked even at the busiest of times. Overall another pleasant stay at The Grand Hotel. If you are looking for modern luxury this is probably not the place for you. But if you want a good location with friendly service then you wont be disappointed."

Hotel Du Vin Exeter

8/10 Good

"Excellent service at check in. Room was clean and comfortable. Enjoyed the pool and the option of opting out of the daily room cleaning in exchange for a glass of wine!"
