Lewdown Holidays from £381

Stayed in room 12A which had a nice view over the sea. Room was clean and modern - no a/c but a powerful fan had been placed in the room before arrival and the windows opened. Each member of staff was cheerful, polite and helpful. Breakfast was nice and value for money.

The staff were very attentive and provided an excellent service

A truly comfortable and pampered stay. David and Tonny do not have to do any effort to make your stay feel unique as they have in themselves the art of hosting. Great attention to detail; nothing goes unnoticed, from the small shampoo bottles left open in the shower, and then carefully closed to the meticulously prepared deliciously cooked breakfast. Not a single thing out of place; not a single desire not catered for. David seems the one who does the cooking while Tonny the one serves the food, and prosecco! All works out in clockwork precision. Recommended

A very pleasant 5 nights spent in this lovely hotel in excellent surroundings. The large garden has a gate with keypad for guests to use to access the town / beach area which makes a much more pleasant 15 minute walk to town than by road. OK it's uphill on the way back but in such lovely surroundings who cares! There are bus stops outside the entrance with direct buses to Exeter via Dawlish, and Newton Abbot via Torquay (no. 2 and 11 respectively, noting that the 11 doesn't pass the hotel on the way back from Torquay). The station is about 10 minutes walk away but we used a taxi, noting that there didn't appear to be a rank at the station but a short walk way near Wetherspoons. No Uber! There's a bar and terrace, also a restaurant we didn't use, apart from the included buffet breakfast. The latter was adequate with all the usual fare and you could ask for vegan sausages and poached or fried eggs to order. We didn't use the pool which is quite shallow and I did spot a room with a pool table. It is a dog friendly hotel which may deter some but not us. Because of the design some of the corridors do have slight slopes which can catch you unawares. If using the seating in the garden be aware they are not always clean due to the plentiful bird life! Staff were very friendly and courteous throughout. Rooms are cleaned "as required" if you put the hangar on the door. Check in is fairly late by hotel standards (16:00) but you can leave bags with reception. Thoroughly recommended!
