Provider-sourced guest reviews.
Location was fantastic. Lovely pub and restaurant. Lot's of place's to go.
All the staff were lovely but Alan went above expectations
We had a very spacious, clean and comfortable room which was very stylish and had everything we needed for our two day stay. We were very fortunate to have lovely views and a balcany to sit and admire them. Breakfast was very plentiful and nicely cooked. Particularly enjoyed the fresh honeycomb.
Unfortunately the evening meals didn't hit the mark! They were pre prepared and reheated, my new potatoes were grey and cold, l was however compensated with a complimentary desert and coffee.
Staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Rooms were comfortable and food was delicious - what’s not to like!
Very nice. Bar shuts a bit early and the breakfast was available later than ideal.
The hotel looked great and had a lovely vibe. Beautiful seaside town location, perfect for a short stay. The room was cosy and clean, great added touch with the radio. My partner and I had an amazing time. Thank you to all the staff.
We had no issues, complaints or suggestions for improvements.
We’ll maintain and great decor
Really lovely room, comfy bed and beach decor was sweet. We could even see the sea, a bit!
The room was loud at night, but I don't really mind that much! What I did feel you let yourselves down on was the breakfast: my partner's bread on his eggs benedict was so stale we couldn't cut it, and my wheat toast tasted as if it had been repeatedly frozen/thawed. Minor issue but definitely stood out.
Location
Messy tables not cleared up. Outside dining in particular busy and very messy with dirty plates and glasses
Location was great. The staff were all so friendly and knowledgeable with lots of advice. Great breakfast the perfect stay.
Overlooked the carpark!
Charming helpful staff, smart bedroom, delicious food, decent wifi, handy locatiom
Nothing
Everything.
Nothing.
Amazing location, full of character, lovely staff
It was as clean and fresh. The room had a/c which was wonderful. Also the tea and coffee facilities were great.
The food was a little pricey and not as good as we would have expected for the price.
Very good, staff are very friendly.
Location and excellent decor and the views
Bed was a bit squeaky when turning over
Great location, nice staff.
Room smelt of sewage for the first 24 hrs.
Bacon and sausage was over cooked
The size of room
Lights on tv that flashed through night x Kettle too big to fill at sink and mirror lighting bathroom didn’t switch off
La chambre le balcon la vue le personnel et la qualité des repas!!!
Sans voiture difficile d’accès

The room was lovely, clean and spacious, the view was amazing. We ate in the restaurant the staff were friendly and helpful
The food was ok but we were disappointed with the menu and as we were by the coast that the fish was frozen and not locally sourced. Breakfast was again a bit disappointing everything seemed a bit dry and over cooked.
Location
It’s just a small negative, parking! Didn’t have an issue with the £258 a night for the room but not being able to park at the property was annoying
Spotlessly clean, really pleasant staff, outstanding quality and choices for breakfast. Service really fast too
Nothing
Recently decorated beautifully, the room was charming and comfortable. Staff were friendly and helpful.
Booking.com description was misleading. Expected to have a sea facing room but in reality this was not the case. Definitely not the problem with the Hotel but rather the Booking.com website.
Absolut tolle Lage und sehr freundliches Personal und sauberes Zimmer
Es gab nichts, was uns nicht gefallen hat
It was very clean and the staff was lovely
The position and views also easy to walk into the village
Great stay
Excellent location, really nice rooms and great views out over the water.
Could have done with a fan in the room.
Location was perfect. We were delighted to find off-road parking though we arrived early and got the last place. The staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming and professional. The breakfast was outstanding.
We found it odd that the room had air-conditioning, but the towel radiator was on in the bathroom and we were unable to turn it off. The duvets were too heavy ( winter weight) considering the hot weather we’ve been having.
Staff Service levels excellent
I like the views in most of the rooms. Stayed in several rooms over time, especially lately. I especially love room 9 withseaview balchony. Room below was lovely too. Room 1 I think.
I cannot think of any negatives. Seems difficult getting in car park alot of times.
Air con was very helpful as having a heat wave at time. Made up for lack of view.
No view but nice room , bed & air con.good.
Everything, the cleanliness, the comfort.
Food generally good, little expensive compared to our local eating places but to be expected with the location. Bedroom very good since it had air conditioning, no view from the bedroom but the resturant views were very good over Teignmouth and the harbour.
Short staffed at times
Beautiful room with air con during a heatwave. High spec fittings, spotless, and good refreshments. All staffwere welcoming and friendly.
The only thing we could improve would be to have a plug socket nearer the desk and mirror for doing hair.
Food excellent, staff very nice and helpful. Superb location for coastal views and walking in the countryside.
I was in room 7, not the most expensive room. No view at all as window frosted as it overlooked some electrical plant or air con unit or maybe the back of the kitchens. There was a hum of machinery of some kind which carried on all night. I slept ok but it could have got disturbing. I hope that they will triple-glaze that window if at all possible. However, I would stay again and hope to get a room at the front. It was very quiet otherwise as away from the pub side.

Really nice, warm and comfortable. Lovely vibe in general to be honest. I will be be back
I can’t think of anything.
Room was very nice .food was good and staff were very nice
The location was absolutely fabulous. Actually in Shaldon rather than Teignmouth which is a bonus !
Nothing it was a delightful stay
Beautiful location. Lovely room. Lovely bar and restaurant area. Ample seating area outside with gorgeous views. We had a very warm welcome.
We had dinner on one night of our stay. Due to lack of staff we were advised that we couldn’t sit outside - it was 30’ so just the weather to enjoy the outside with beautiful views over the sea but they needed us to sit inside!! There was a special 2 course menu for £19. Very good value but only one choice of starter left! Our bathroom wasn’t cleaned once during our 3 night stay and despite leaving the floor towel on the floor, desperately needing to be changed as the shower leaked, the cleaner left it there and I had to ask for a new one. He/she twice put the towel radiator on in the bathroom when the room was already boiling during the 30’++ heatwave. He/she took the rubbish out of the bedroom bin then left it in a bag in the middle of the floor! I had to find a dustbin to dispose of it myself! The toilet bowl was very stained when we arrived and despite asking for some bleach to be put down it, it never happened.
Beautiful location and exceptionally clean and comfortable room. Got a free upgrade to a room with Seaview and balcony. Vicky on reception was incredibly welcoming after we had a long and hot journey. Trudi at breakfast was welcoming and cheery and the breakfast was delicious with lots of choice.
Nothing
Location overlooking the estuary was so special. Excellent and generous breakfast. The staff were all first class especially Katie who went out of her way to help us sort out an issue with my mothers room
Lack of easy parking. Green light on bedroom ceiling was too bright at nightime and disturbed my sleep. The wall mounted USB charger too weak - couldnt even charge phone to 100% overnight.
Room was large and airy, breakfast was OK
Cold plates and warm not hot breakfast
Great location and friendly staff
Nothing - we loved it.
The presence of dogs in the breakfast room
Its location and views of the estuary & Teignmouth open relaxing bar restaurant gardens etc

Second stay. Our new favourite place in this resort.
Everything we wanted for a impulsive stay away.
Can't fault at all.
If I had to say anything. It would be better to move the glass shelf that's over the bathroom basin. It's in the way when using basin. Room 12. NOT A COMPLAINT.
Staff were incredibly welcoming. Views are amazing.
Very seaside style and had everything you need for a stay.
Wonderful location
The room and the views was really nice
parking was not very good
Staff friendly, helpful, chatty, positive. Room lovely, everything we needed and more. Evening meal excellent. Breakfast excellent.
It was very expensive! But we understand why!
Smashing room in a great location. Staff friendly and helpful. Great breakfast

Quirky rooms, excellent staff, food very good.
Nothing comes to mind !
Clean and tidy. Great location. Great food. Excellent customer service.
What a stunning location overlooking Teignmouth Bay. The Ness has such a magical atmosphere about it. Our room was immaculate, fresh, and beautifully decorated with a light and airy feel. A huge plus for me was the air conditioning, which I absolutely loved. We also had a lovely feature wall of the Teign, which added a special touch. There was an excellent selection of teas, coffees, and biscuits in the room, and the shower was amazing. The staff were incredibly attentive and couldn’t do enough for us throughout our stay. We enjoyed lunch, dinner, and breakfast at the hotel, and every meal was delicious. The fresh fruit selection of pineapple, melon, grapes, and strawberries was wonderful. For breakfast, I had the eggs Florentine and quite possibly the best banana muffin I’ve ever eaten! We can’t wait to return. Truly a place to visit if you’re in the area.
Nothing!
Lovely comfortable room and bed.Fantastic views.Excellent staff good breakfast.
Gorgeous room which was light and airy with a nice bathroom and a fab view! Lovely breakfast and we also enjoyed fish and chips on the first evening!
The bar closed very early!
Great staff, really comfortable, clean and great views!
Staff was brilliant. Food was delicious. Room was lovely and bed really comfortable.
beautiful light colored room with view on the sea and with small balcony, quiet place at the end of the road, if early parking place on site
View and staff
Nothing food was fab too
The staff were brilliant. Very helpful, friendly and professional. The building itself was lovely. The room was extremely clean. Interior was very nicely decorated. The location was fantastic. The dining/bar area was very well thought out and we liked the eclectic mix of furniture.
Unfortunately we felt the food was very average and overpriced.
Welcoming staff, excellent food, immaculately clean and comfortable room. Great location.

Die Lage des Hotels direkt über der Meeresbucht ist top. Sehr gutes Essen im Restaurant. Das Zimmer war groß und angenehm mit hellen Farben gestrichen, zusätzlich hatten wir einen Balkon mit Meerblick
Beim Frühstück könnte es etwas mehr Obst geben
Great breakfast with lots of choices. Location is great, especially if you have a room with a sea view.
Beautiful location, gorgeous house, sea view, attentive staff, fantastic food (with wonderful vegan and gluten free options, too)
The bed, albeit comfortable, was quite squeaky
Fantastic shower in room 9 .
Long way from room to hotel entrance just glad it wasn't raining.
Location, staff and cleanliness
Limited menu. A choice of fresh fish would have been appreciated due to the coastal location
Spotlessly clean room, comfortable bed (would have preferred kingsize but fine). Good quality breakfast in room with great view over estuary
Unnecessarily bright green (smoke/fire detector) devalued darkness for sleep, and a couple strange plumbing noises throughout but overall very nice place.
Beautiful views & great location.
The staff were very helpful and friendly. The room was lovely, spacious and clean. The breakfast was excellent.
Had the most lovely room with a wonderful view. Staff were great, nothing not to like.
