The bed was SOO comfortable, sheets and towels lovely, white & clean and we had a really good night's sleep. Great view. However, the room was very dirty, carpet filthy and not hoovered with all sorts of debris clearly visible just under the bed. The bathroom was tatty with dirty brown edged mastick and the uplighting highlighted ancient looking cobweb 'curtains'. The phone and kettle were ancient and filfthy. The bath drained too slowly not to have a blockage problem. My mum would not have stayed in this room! Most staff were lovely. A bearded man we encountered behind the bar was a total misery.

Enjoyable stay in a pleasant location

I have stayed at the Passage House a few times as family members and grandchildren live within walking distance. I have always found the staff friendly and professional. The room was spacious and although the facilities are a little tired and dated it was comfortable enough. Breakfast was good and hearty with plenty of choice. For the first time I walked into Newton Abbot along the river footpath which meant I could leave the car at the hotel which was definitely a bonus for a day at the races.

Room was adequate, hotel a bit run down, staff friendly enough but not overly attentive. Room looked clean, however in the morning the bathroom floor got very wet, I used one of their white towels to mop it up and it ended up black!! Also cobwebs on bathroom ceiling, rust patches on radiator etc. The hotel has had its day and just feels a little unloved.

Overall Good

Good Hotel, Decent family room for 3. Only stayed for a night. Hot breakfast took ages to arrive, if they could fix that I'd give 5 stars. Hotel looks a bit dated.

Location 11/10

11/10 for the location. Great views and direct access to a lovely walk into Newton Abbott. Large carpark, leisure facilities were good. What let us down was the breakfast on the first morning. Got sat down then forgotten about. When we did eventually get our traditional English order the hash-brown was mouth burning but the rest of the plate stone cold! However the next day had an Eggs Benedict and it was fine so we won't be put off staying again.

The Passage House Hotel is in such a beautiful location. Lovely scenery and walks. Easy and quick to drive to shops. The hotel is a little tired and dated but that had no impact on our stay. The breakfast was delicious and plentiful. The pool was a great hit with grandchildren. We thoroughly enjoyed the Passage House Inn which is right next door. Food and drinks looking over the estuary. We would definitely stay again b

Budget hotel but good facilities and nearby walks.

Booked last minute. Location is a bit out of the way but only a few mins from N Abbott and 10 mins from Teignmouth. Outlook from hotel down the estuary very nice and some nice walks nearby. Hotel rooms are very dated, particularly bathrooms and due to age the toilet, bath etc appeared dirty, although I would imagine they had been cleaned. Comfortable bed and reception, bar and restaurant area were pleasant to sit in. Swimming pool lovely and warm and quite quiet, so great with young children. Restaurant menu is limited, particularly if you have children. I would sum the hotel up as a budget hotel. Definitely not luxurious but if you're on a tight budget, it's pleasant enough. Staff very friendly and helpful throughout stay. There's a nice pub literally next to the car park with a good menu and views down the estuary.
