Clean room. Plenty of hot water. Towels and toiletries all, as expected. Ideal location. Didn't think the £6 per night parking charge, even for disabled, was necessary, especially as it's off season, winter time.

Did not need the breakfast. Hotel a little dated in decor but comfortable and very good position in town. Staff on front desk fine when they bothered to look up! They need to be more customer aware. Just say hello if customers even only just passing by.

Staff are fabulous nothing is too much trouble.the room was comfortable and very clean, admittedly the hotel does need updating and apparently there are plans to do this next year . Breakfast is lovely it’s served buffet style but piping hot and its price is very reasonable. Evening menu is limited and basic but food is served quickly and hot. The lounge and bar area is a lovely place to meet up with friends and service again is excellent.we always look forward to staying here .

Excellent stay at this lovely hotel on the Esplanade at Exmouth set in huge grounds which were kept immaculate. We had a beautiful superior room with a lovely sea view. Staff were very helpful.
