The Cliffden Hotel

8/10 Good

"Set in amazing gardens that run all the way down to the seafront. A unique property that also has a lovely swimming pool and beautiful views. Unfortunately the location and setting of the hotel is better than the rooms themselves, which were tired and basic. I had a view of the wall!!"

Hotel Indigo Torquay by IHG

"Spotless rooms, attentive friendly staff, lovely sea view and excellent breakfast"

Harbour Hotel Salcombe

10/10 Excellent

"A lovely room with the perfect view. Spa facilities were very good and the breakfast was close to perfect. Nothing to complain about at all"

Crofton House Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Room was lovely, spacious and clean. Large bathroom. Great sea view. Shame no breakfast option, but wasn't a major issue for us. Hot tub wasn't in use. Didn't use the Outdoor pool but did use the indoor pool which was nice, although the jacuzzi didn't seem to work very well. If we could get the same room then we'd happily stay again."

The Headland Hotel & Spa

8/10 Good

"Had a wonderful stay, hotel location great, staff very friendly and helpful, room clean, a good size and well equipped. These things can't be helped but the part of the spa was out of action (would have been good to know before hand) but it did not significantly disrupt our stay. Our room was not sea facing so there was some noise from delivery vehicles (essential supplies needed) in the mornings. Would stay again."
