We stayed last weekend with friends at this lovely hotel and we were all very impressed. We had dinner in the restaurant Friday night, the food was excellent and we all had a lovely evening. The staff were all very friendly and the rooms immaculate. The grounds are beautiful also and as the sun was shining we took full advantage... More

Lovely position on the seafront, elegant reception area - but we had to move from the lounge area to the bar in the evening as we seemed to have found ourselves in the middle of a Bingo game! Not what we were expecting. Comfortable bed with nice bed linen but room not as clean as it could have been and... More

The hotel has an old world air which it's none the worse for having. At times I expected to see M Poirot descending the stairs. That the clientele was our age suited us fine: no charging around the corridors late at night! The meals were served promptly and as expected for the price. Our room was clean and the beds... More

I reckon they get it right here. They know their clientele and are geared up to meeting expectations. Others have commented that the clientele is generally elderly and this is so. I am in my early 60s and felt quite the youngster in comparison. There probably isn’t a better location in Paignton with the Palace situated on the Esplanade, right... More

A coach trip with family and friends, to the perfect position, overlooking the sea. The hotel was once the home of the Singer sewing machine family, and was very well presented; a warm welcome, friendly and helpful staff, and the rooms were spotlessly .clean. The dining room was well laid out and we enjoyed a comprehensive menu, with silver service.... More

I have been staying at this hotel for the last 16 years and more recently with my new family addition. The staff are marvellous and the facilities are excellent. Parking is secure and off road which is a bonus. One down side is the heat in the bedrooms all year round. Guess thats why they have such big windows to... More

Stayed here bank holiday weekend from Sat 4th to Mon 6th May 2013. We traveled in a family group of 10. On driving along the sea front to the hotel it was clear that there was some sort of fair going on.
