location, breakfast and room met expectations. staff were very nice and pleasant.
the pipework in the annex howled whenever someone flushed a toilet. this led to instances during the night when the pipes roared. it sounded like an oceanliner was approaching.

Wonderful Sea View and Friendly Service

sea viewhelpful staffcheerful service
The room at the front offered a beautiful sea view. I enjoyed watching the estuary and the Dawlish Warren area from my window. The staff members were cheerful and helpful . They worked hard and nothing seemed like too much trouble.
I found a lack of available plug sockets in the room.

The Double Room was nice and big I found the beds comfortable. The shower was quite good too I also appreciated the dog-friendly policy.
Parking on the street was a problem I found. The front gardens looked overgrown and frankly unkempt. Evening meals were not available at the hotel either so I had to go into town.
