What can I say? The perfect experience for us. Old world charm with old world values. Beautiful building and gardens with historic significance. Situated on the headland with breathtaking views. The interior is decorated not to be pretentious but modern enough to be pleasing. The bedroom(16) has an inland balcony perfect for a cool down before and after. You don't need to crave for a sea view as breakfast, lunch and evening meal are all served with a spectacular view of Torbay. The indoor pool is lovely with a jacuzzi and sauna, however the sauna was unavailable for our visit. 20 minutes slow stroll to Brixham via road or coastal path. I felt the evening menu was rather limited yet delicious (3night stay). Breakfast is buffet style and plentiful. Bar and food are not over priced considering the location and service. The staff are wonderful and should be appreciated by everyone who they serve. One more thing. If you like Agatha then you would love this place. The library room is set up for a murder???

Sauna not accessible, lowish water pressure for the shower.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here, the room was clean & tidy & restocked with tea, coffee, water & biscuits everyday. The breakfast was outstanding, a choice of healthy fruits, cereal & yogurts & a full English! The location of the hotel is about a 15 minute walk from the harbour & the shops, we ate out at a place called Chish & Fipps which was really nice, but a bit more expensive than what we would pay for at home! The staff were all very welcoming, at the reception, the restaurant & in the bar area. We loved the veranda, we sat & watched the sunset which was beautiful! Did a couple of long Coastal walks & headed to the bar when we got back. I would definitely stay here again

The room was a little over heated, but I don't think that was any fault due to the hotel! We had a mini heatwave when we were there, so had to have the fan on most of the night, which was quite noisy

The location was excellent for lovely nature walks around Berry head. The walk into Brixham town centre was approx 20mins so good central location. Parking was free and enough spaces available considering it was a weekend. The swimming pool and spa areas had limited spaces available to book so it wasn’t too overcrowded at once - we actually had the facilities to ourselves was like having a private pool! The room was comfortable and clean. The staff were all very friendly and always happy to help with any queries.

The room we were staying in must have had the bathroom behind the headboard as in the morning could hear the person on the other side of the wall running a bath and then splashing around in the bath.

Everything was great except for the shower as the water pressure wasn’t good. The staff were exceptional particularly Mel on reception and Jack in the bar. Particularly liked the brasserie giving a different option for meals.We had a lovely meal in there plus another late afternoon, we paid £10 for a beef sandwich, it came with salad and dressing, homemade slaw and crisps and with the fresh bread used, it was a meal in itself. Couldn’t fault the food, the staff and the beautiful location on the head of the bay. The towels were large and soft.

The water pressure. Made having a decent shower - difficult. No problem having a bath though

Love the location.Absolutely beautiful position overlooking the sea.Great to have the Nature reserve and the Berry Head Napoleonic fort so close by to walk up to and enjoy the fantastic views .The staff were so helpful and friendly and we were given an upgrade to a sea view room free of charge. The lounge is comfortable and great for coffee and a homemade biscuit mid morning and nice to eat in at night with lovely food.Breakfast was also very nice.The hotel is well placed for visiting National Trust properties nearby and also Dartmouth , ferries and a great walk to Dartmouth castle..Can't fault the hotel at all.Lovely.

Nothing

Amazing trip. Room was very small it was ok for one night but was disappointed on the size of the double the bed was tiny. Room was nicely decorated and had everything. We were a party of four so we had two doubles and the other double had a bigger bed but was so noisy they couldn't sleep for the noise of neighbouring rooms. So that was disappointing that the rooms didn't have better sound proofing I think we were in an older part of the hotel but it did impact quality of sleep. Location is incredible fab walk into Brixham. The bar had live music which was brilliant on the Friday night. Food in the restaurant and breakfast were beautiful we had a wonderful time and were very well looked after by David. Mel on the desk was also super helpful. The pool area is nice. Shame the sauna is no longer there. The jacuzzi was nice. Temperature on the whole was a little too cold. Overall we had an amazing time and would definitely stay again.

I very much liked the general vibe of the hotel and its location. Great view. Free parking on site was a big plus. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. The bar / eating area had a great decor and atmosphere. The beer (Devon Cove?) was great too. Breakfast was very nice.

Room was ridiculously hot when entering. Took a couple of hours with the window wide open with towel heater and radiator off to get it down to bearable. Evening meal in brasserie was mediocre for both of us (mains and desserts) and our first choice of vegetarian meal from the menu was not available.

The hotel had very friendly staff. When our first offer of a room was overlooking an air conditioning plant the hotel very quickly found us another room with an excellent sea view. The location of the hotel overlooks the bay at Brixham with magnificent views. The staff were always very helpful and ordered a morning paper before breakfast! Meals were excellent in the brasserie.

We were expecting possible difficulty parking in high season but the hotel car park always accommodated residents cars.

My balcony room had a superb sea vista.Breakfast included, all you can eat buffet served 8-11 am.The hotel is a converted Victorian mansion it's like some aristocrat had invited one to stay!!Dinner and Lunch meals outstanding!!!

music all afternoon and evening mindless sounds like you might hear insupermarkets repetitive thudding beat now if they had played classic F.M. or radoi3 it would have suited the ambiance more

The location was perfect. Set in beautiful grounds surrounded by beautiful views of the sea. Nice to have a private, contained balcony with our room

Despite informing the hotel before arrival that we had a dog, nothing was in place on our arrival. Breakfast was also a bit of an issue as the breakfast staff had not been informed either. Visitors with dogs eat breakfast in a different area. Apparently this is a problem when booking through Booking.com as there is not an option to say you are taking a dog. It made us feel a bit uncomfortable & that we were causing problems for the staff; bearing in mind that we paid an extra £12.50 per night for our dog so we expected better.
