We stayed at the hotel which was very close to the pavilion we were visiting for the evening. We had a twin room overlooking the beachfront, lovely views. Bed was lovely and comfortable. Shower wasn't very powerful and im not use to climbing in the bath to shower. Bar was good priced and good atmosphere. Staff are friendly and very helpful. Breakfast was lovely and very filling. Already booked to go back next month. Other hotels in the area are more expensive. I give this hotel a five star.

Lovely & very accommodating hosts & very good breakfasts. Room was spotless with king size bed, TV, sea views, plenty of storage space, compact ensuite, etc.
The on site parking requires some care from drivers, especially if you have a large car.
Town centre, pubs, railway station & beach all a short walk down the hill.

Lovely hotel by the sea
We stayed at the Langstone Cliff hotel before a concert at Powderham castle. We arrived early afternoon and decided to have lunch on the terrace overlooking the sea. Lunch was lovely and the drinks were cold. Having parasol’s kept us cool on a very hot day. Our room was lovely, quite small but had everything we needed and the air con was an added bonus. The travel to Powderham was easy and relatively quick with only a short walk to the station and then about a 15 minute...

Lovely old building, beautifully clean and comfortable. Steve and Fiona were very welcoming and kind. Also, they cooked a mean breakfast from a varied menu. It was delicious. The only downside was the lack of parking outside The Bakehouse. It proved to be very difficult but the upside was that approx 60 yards away was a Car Park for only £3.30 for 24 hours! Highly recommend The Bakehouse if you are planning a visit to East Devon.

The staff were so friendly and went out there way to make you feel comfortable through things such as a free nightcap before bed, lovely breakfast etc
The room was lovely with again free little bits like sweets, was clean and had a tv with a DVD player in ( you could also get DVDs to watch in there little guest room where you could also buy drinks and play games).
It is also just a short walk to the beach, shops and other things such as golf and a leisure Center :) I definitely recommend to...
