After a long long search for our 2 weeks stay in June I found this Gem. It's got everything, a warm welcome comfy, clean rooms with a sea view. A restaurant, a bar huge outside space. An indoor and outdoor pool and a gym. Breakfast got everything you need from cooked to continental and I can't stress it enough such lovely and attentive staff. We stayed here for 2 weeks as a base for daily trips and it's been perfect.

We slept with the balcony door tilted because it doesn't have a ventilator, which might be an issue on hotter days. In June that solution was perfect since you'll hear the calming sea with the window open.

the location of the hotel is wonderful, right on the ocean. our room had a view of the ocean. the sound of the waves in the morning is just wonderful. the food and menu are very tasty, especially the delicious dinner. the reception staff and in the restaurant especially attentive and polite. All the staff is responsive, always smiling. We are from Ukraine and know the value of life..... people be grateful for every day. Look only for the positive....Thank you very much to all the hotel staff for your care and attention. Thank you very much to all the waiters! Thank you to the administrator! We will definitely come back to you! See you soon!

Don't look for the bad, enjoy every day!

Stunning location. I had a seaview room with a little balcony, and it was so nice to sit out there. The staff were super helpful and friendly. There is an indoor pool with a hot tub and steam room as well as a lovely outdoor pool. It took minutes to get to the beach.

Only a few minor niggles stopped me from giving full marks. For example, on a few occasions, the outdoor pool was closed as there was no lifeguard available. On one day, housekeeping asked if I needed more coffee and milk, I said no thanks but then when I returned to my room later they had taken that to mean I didn't want them to supply clean cups, spoons etc. Nothing major but minor inconveniences

The hotel is traditional and welcoming. Free parking is a bonus as is the waterfront location by the beach. The breakfasts and bar meals were good and the staff were friendly and polite.

We have stayed at The Redcliffe regularly in the last couple of years and always ask for the same double room. It suits us because it is large with plenty of space for clothes with a nice bathroom. On this trip there was a heatwave and we did find the room very hot even with the window open continuously. The duvet was a winter weight so we removed it and just slept under the duvet cover. We did mention it to the receptionist, however, they were busy so I don’t think a different room was possible. We were only there for three nights anyway. We will maybe choose a different one next time. Although it isn’t usually such a hot time of year when we visit.

Abit like walking back in time decorated is dated how ever everywhere was clean . We had a budget room which suited us as didn’t expect to be in it long as out and about.Disappointed there was no view window opened to a roof area. Bathroom 👍nice towels. TV small but adequate. Kettle with top ups of milk /TC supplied each day. Hairdryer needed updating as only worked for a minute kept over heating . Bed comfy I requested an extra pillow which was provided straight away. Indoor pool jacuzzi and steam room great at no extra charge. Breakfast really nice freshly cooked great service and a bonus that you can look out to sea. Bar area and lounges . Found all staff really helpful customer service great . Plenty of car parking spaces (great free parking included ). Location good right in the beach and with in easy walking in to Paignton town.

Hair dryer needs replacing

The hotel is just a little walk along the beach to the main street that has plenty of bars/cafes etc if you don’t want to stay in the hotel There were plenty of seating and loungers on the patio and access to the beach - ask about the secret door leading directly to the beach 🤭 Their pool is a nice size with seating for relaxing and shower facilities Dog friendly, although we left ours at home this time, he will visit with us on our next trip All the staff were very helpful

Thin cotton/fleece throws for the beds would have been helpful as it was a very warm weekend and the only other spare blankets found in the wardrobe were wool and too heavy/hot.

We had an excellent stay at The Redcliffe Hotel. All the staff were extremely helpful and friendly. We ate at the hotel lunchtime and had an evening meal (food from the bar menu), we couldn’t fault this. Breakfast was adequate in a lovely dining hall overlooking the sea. We stayed with a large group of friends and found the hotel great value for money. Although a large building, in need of some updating, which apparently is starting in October. The location is ideal, a 10/15 minute walk to the main town but far enough away from all the bars and noise. The beach is just outside the building. We didn’t use the pools (indoor or out) so cannot comment on these facilities. We would definitely stay again.

Needs updating but wouldn’t put us off staying again.

This is a very comfortable hotel with character built around eighteen hundreds by a retired colonel of the Indian Army as his home, Now extended and updated, is in a unique position on a small headland with fantastic sea views and a sun terrace directly overlooking the beach. You can breakfast in an elegant dining room with a view unequalled in UK. The rooms are pretty good too! Our room was spacious and newly refurbished, it could have featured in a glossy interiors magazine! A bonus was the free parking and tickets to a local attraction. Very comfortable bed.

There was no air conditioning and the electric towel radiator in the bathroom was not controllable so too hot on what was the hottest day of this year. However, the staff provided an extra room fan.

Staff very obliging ,Kate on reception rang to advise us of a function on the sat & managed to move our room to a quieter one which was so kind & understanding. Food lovely & the evening meal on the first night was very good & what’s not to like about the view but gulls have taken over the outdoor pool 🤔 poop every where 🙈 but with the indoor pool and the beach so close live & let live

Bedroom floor boards very very creaky 😩so noisy if one gets out of bed in the night to use the bathroom or walk around early . Bathroom was clean and a bonus we had a lovely bath,! But although clean . The rooms are outdated sadly for the price however some communal longes and function room have charm again with stunning view we saw that the hotel is looking to build another floor above the two wings and improve /update in the future So looking forward a return visit with the children as we have family in the area & it’s so convenient to see them

The bedroom, which had a lovely sea view had been nicely decorated and updated, and was spotlessly clean. The bathroom was large, and the shower good. The bed was comfortable and the room very quiet for sleeping at night, with no noise except the sea. All the Staff were extremely friendly and helpful. We booked with Breakfast and Evening Meal, and the meals were better than our expectation, with good choices and generous portions, even for my Husband who does not eat meat. The swimming pool was very clean and with a nice temperature. I didn't use the Gym, but it was quite well equipped, and everything looked as though it was maintained well. We had a lovely stay, and the Hotel looked as though it was run by people who cared about it, and about their Guests.

The only thing I could fault was the "Musak" in social and dining areas, which seemed to have been chosen by a country and Western lover!
