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...

Mercure Exeter Southgate Hotel

8/10 Good

"Lovely hotel usefully located in centre of town"

Exeter Rougemont hotel by Sunday

8/10 Good

"Nice central location. Hôtel is a stately structure and is in places looking a little tired. A great choice of food for breakfast but you may find quite suitable options for less cost in the close neighbourhood. Staff are very helpful and friendly. I would be happy to stay here again."

The Grand Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We attended the Tea Dance which was a lovely way to spend an afternoon. Lovely afternoon tea and a great singer."

The Imperial Torquay

8/10 Good

"Exterior of the hotel a bit shabby but made up for when you enter the lobby. You can see how in years gone by this was the place to stay. Still has charm, chandeliers, colourful glass roof and huge spiral staircase. Staff were great. Proper white shirts and black waistcoat uniforms. At meal times they were everywhere. Plenty of choices at breakfast. Room had plenty of storage, bathroom was clean, bed was comfy. We had a sea view room with sliding door onto a patio with sunbeds, worth paying the extra for the sea view room."

Bovey Castle

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful grounds and castle room. Don’t recommend staying next to the elevator though as it was quite loud"

White Hart, Exeter by Marston's Inns

10/10 Excellent

"Room was lovely, had a great nights sleep and the staff were great, thank you"

Leonardo Hotel Exeter

10/10 Excellent

"Good quality hotel - always clean and comfortable. Parking nearby."
