Top Modbury Hotel Reviews

Abbey Sands Hotel

8/10 Good

"Although rather dated, the hotel was spotlessly clean with a large bathroom, with plenty of space. The room we booked was noted as being an inland room, but had a sea view which was a bonus. We would stay again."

Leonardo Hotel Plymouth

10/10 Excellent

"Great location"

The Imperial Torquay

8/10 Good

"Check in was very efficient. The lobby is impressive and the hotel has a beautiful Victorian interior. Plenty of parking spaces and quite reasonably priced at £10 per night. The hotel room itself was very dated with dark wood furniture and no mini fridge. It was very clean with a large bathroom but some of the towels were marked. The bed was large and very comfortable. The dining room has a gorgeous view across the bay right over to brixham. The food choices for breakfast were extensive, some of the full English items could have been warmer but I’m just being picky. The staff were all very polite. The communal spaces were very nice but the hotel does give off an air that it needs a bit of updating. The hotel frontage is not very appealing, the 3 flags above the entrance tend to clang against the poles if it’s windy which wasn’t great as our room was directly above. Would I stay here again? Probably because it’s a great location, less than 10 minutes away from the harbour."

Copthorne Hotel Plymouth

8/10 Good

"Absolutely fine. Close to centre and walking distance from Home Park. A bit faded decor and no air con in the room but fans provided. Decent breakfast. Parking was a bit of a nightmare as on the day of my arrival the doors to the underground car park had broken and I had to route via Sainsbury's car park risking a fine but thankfully the hotel staff managed to override the parking database and it appeared to have worked. Generally all was good and I would recommend and use again."

Crowne Plaza Plymouth by IHG

8/10 Good

"The location was very good. Easy walk to Barbican. The park was right up the street. The room could have been cleaner. The air vents were full of dust. When we brought this to the staffs attention they immediately cleaned it. The carpet could have used a good cleaning. The restaurant was lovely. The view was spectacular and the food was very good. The was very nice."

Hotel Indigo Torquay by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Clean Room Staff friendly , good location"
