Our room was adequate for size and reflected the amount per night that we were charged through Booking.com. The view was okay, on to a quiet side road and not the very busy Torquay-Paignton main road. The breakfast was absolutely first class - great choices, beautifully cooked and presented.

Our only issue was with very late 'walk-in' clients at 02.30am who were noisy and talked incessantly in their room through to 7am when they left. The hotel night porter did all that he could to resolve the situation but without success. However, in the morning, the management were most apologetic, refunded us one night's stay and assured us that this was a most unfortunate 'one-off' event which we absolutely accept. We will stay again as the hotel is charming, the staff welcoming and the facilities first class.

Very pet friendly. They set up a breakfast table in the bar area so that we could take our dog with us when we had breakfast. The staff were very helpful and accommodating. We had a bar meal each night of our stay and the food was good with a good selection on the menu.

The parking at the hotel is a nightmare as there are functions every day at the hotel and if you take your car out for the day you wont get it back into a parking space again. Reserved parking for guests is necessary.

Fantastic location. Sea view room is exactly that. Staff are all so friendly and willing to help. We stayed in the Perry suite which is fascinating. It is not one of the modernised rooms and still has an art deco style bathroom which is huge. Hot water was plentiful, shower was easy and pumped pressure. This room gave us plenty of space to change for our Christmas dance night in the ballroom. (Fortnightly social dancing.) This is definitely a Marmite room; if you can accept it for what it is....quirky, then it is superb. If you are looking for immaculate decor and updated fittings then best go for one of the modernised rooms. To modernise this room would probably be to ruin it! Breakfast was very good, buffet style full English (for me...my wife was more modest), all cooked very cleanly and nicely presented. Lovely sized ballroom.

No heating in the bathroom, we coped, but in colder weather this could be a bit of a shock. (the room itself was well heated). Wallpaper was damaged in places and could be stuck back. Bathroom was not very clean, the mat was grubby, there was some black grout and the drinking water glasses would benefit from a run through the dishwasher. Possibly the room is not frequently used. We would stay there again though.

We stayed for a week in this excellent hotel ,handily located between Torquay and Paignton, From the moment we arrived reception staff were cheerful,helpful and efficient.The view over the bay is stunning. Parking was easy and the room was of a good size providing everything we needed. Breakfast was excellent,and again,waiting staff were cheerful and efficient. We really enjoyed our stay and will hope fully return later in the year.

I have done weight-training over the years,which helped with operating the lift,which could cause problems for the frail and elderly. Apart from this,most enjoyable.

We had a lovely view but needs updating , pink bath white toilet,old dated wardrobes and carpets .

The pillows were rock hard no bounce , the shower wasn’t very powerful , if you needed tea and coffee you had to move the kettle to heat it near the 1 socket in the room and then if you needed the light you had to unplug for the that , no charging points for phones so again the same plug had to be used , the breakfast was very dry think it had been in the hot plates for a long time it was only warm to eat . The lift was like something out of the twilight zone and could only get two people In at a time .

Our room was large, clean, nicely furnished and had large windows giving a wonderful view of Torbay. The bed was large and comfortable. The room was serviced each day. The restaurant was very busy at breakfast time as a couple of coach parties were staying in the hotel but we were able to have a table for two near a window. All the elements of a good hotel breakfast were available and the food was plentiful and good. Bar meals in the evening were very good and served quickly in the comfort of the bar lounge with its views of the garden and sea. Hotel staff were always friendly, attentive and helpful.

We have no real criticisms; we chose the Livermead Cliff Hotel because because we like it, having had a couple of brief stays there in the past. Minor criticisms - the hot water in our bathroom took a little while to reach the taps or shower and once it did, it ran very hot indeed; careful adjustment of the shower controls was needed! At night the floodlights illuminating the exterior of the hotel also lit up the room like day (although the brightest ones went off at midnight) meaning either shutting the blinds and curtains (and therefore shutting out the view and fresh air from open windows) or trying to sleep in an undarkened room. My wife and I managed to reach a satisfactory compromise between the two..

This was my third stay here. The hotel is clean and comfortable and in an excellent location overlooking the sea. The staff are always friendly and helpful. The bar serves reasonably priced, pub food, and a very good range of beers. I had a standard single room, which was a little bit more spacious than its type usually is, and it had the added bonus of an armchair, which meant that I didn't have to sit on the bed to read.

The shower could have been a wee bit more powerful.

The location of our room (76) was amazing. The view was to die for. The room was large with plenty of storage but the shower was a dribble and the bathroom was a bit tired. As was the rest of the hotel. The lift was interesting and terrifying. One of those cage lifts which we were convinced was going to plummet to the ground. (It didn’t)! The staff were fantastic. They couldn’t do enough for us. And the food was good too. The hotel could benefit from an update but I would definitely stay here again.

It’s a little tired. And the beds were a little hard for me. But I do like a soft bed.

Staying at this hotel was a fantastic experience. The location offers breathtaking views of the coastline. However, the real highlight is the outstanding service and the delicious food in the hotel restaurant. The staff is professional, friendly, and always helpful. The tomato soup and seabass were absolutely incredible – a must-try! Highly recommended, and I would love to come back.

Excellent location with stunning views of the sea and Torquay. Stones throw to the ocean . Excellent food both in the bar and restaurant.

Awful pillows, this has been highlighted in previous reviews too. Also the hotel had double booked us so had long delay at check in whilst they sorted out alternative rooms and then had to move after first night. The receptionist on duty was excellent though.
