When we arrived we were treated like VIP'S. We immediately had a room upgrade and given free parking for the night. The breakfast was the best I've ever had, well presented and prepared. The swimming pool was lovely and clean and although the jacuzzi was only warm to begin with it was hot after a short swim. Thank you

Disliked: Amenities
Convenient for Torquay seafront. Very spacious room, very clean. Staff attentive. A few parking spaces at front of hotel, but at £10 per night. Continental breakfast sparse, hot breakfast okay but not always sufficiently well cooked and no variations in what’s on offer, eg fried eggs every day, never scrambled or poached.

We stayed in a new room (number2) and it was very good but the rest of the hotel looks tired and the breakfast was awful, much better to spend the money for breakfast by going out.
