Overnight stay

Pleasant helpful staff, at check in and breakfast. We did not have an evening meal. We booked a sea view double room. The view was the highlight for us. The room was a good size, with a decent bathroom. An electric shower, so not as powerful as a rainfall shower. Tea, coffee, hot chocolate and bottled water provided- with the largest mugs we’ve ever had in a hotel room.A good selection of cooked breakfast choices along with cereal and juices that you helped yourself to.

If you are looking for 4 or 5* ratings then the Waterford Arms isn't for you. If you want honest, no frills accommodation with wonderful staff and great food then you're onto a winner. We had a great stay and when the area had a power cut on a fully booked restaurant on Saturday night the staff were amazing. Despite a considerable loss of income they kept smiling and coped very well. Seaton Sluice itself is very popular at the weekend. Not surprising really as it is very picturesque. We would be happy to return.

Caring personal welcome and service. Helpful when needed. Arrived too late for food at 7.45pm there and at other pubs in vicinity. No room cleaning on a 2 night stay.

The views across the bay from our room were terrific, the food was good, room was spotless and comfortable, ensuite modern. What really made our stay though was the friendliness and helpfulness of the hard working staff.

Breakfast

We loved the breakfast of smoked fish. Very cozy room but a bit small of 4 persons. It was ok to stay one night.

Staff were fantastic and the food was superb. Very generous portions too. Breakfast included in price meant the overall price was excellent value. Location is great and the views to the beach lovely (plus beach was easy walking distance). Room was basic but had everything needed. Whole place had a friendly and relaxed vibe from start of our stay to the end. Would happily recommend to anyone.

Great place!

Lovely place to stay, we’ve stayed here a few times and will do again. The food in the restaurant is excellent and great value. The room (that we had) is small but has everything you could need and a comfy bed. Staff are really friendly.

No breakfast!

Breakfast didn't start until nine, despite being told I could get some. The door was looked to the bar, so no way to get any breakfast. Not good for people needing to get to work. I missed breakfast on both mornings. Mattress not good, room basic.
