Not a bad little hotel, but needs some renovation works. Some areas look untidy and need a lick of paint and other areas are in need of some more major works. I was staying in the Courtyard rooms. The corridor and my room smelt of musty damp area and didn't improve one bit. But a great location and friendly staff.

Very small and dated rooms. Bathroom was almost bigger than the bedroom yet the shower box was super tiny, impossible to turn around inside and no place to put soap. Courtyard rooms are not good and we got woken up twice by garbage truck 5.30am and then 6.30am some other delivery truck with laundry…

2 night stay

I’ve stayed at this hotel many times. On this occasion my stay was okay. Nice room with sea view. The room was comfortable and clean but there was no hand soap and there was insufficient shower gel (30ml) for one person yet alone two - for 2 nights (the room was booked for two people) - Luckily I had taken my own soap and toiletries. Breakfast was enjoyable and the staff were friendly.

A nice place to stay for a few days. The lack of evening food may be awkward in bad weather. The lack of parking is a problem.

Very friendly staff and welcoming. Booked for a dog friendly room which was fine. Carpet already had some hair on it and didnt look the cleanest. But otherwise, room was clean, sheets clean and bathroom. Tv worked fine as well. Bed was comfy and very spacious room. We didnt eat there but it smelt fgood in the morning. Great value overall and we would stay again. Location is great to walk to the sea front and we were lucky and able to park on the street outside. Only issue we had we didn't find a hairdryer in the room but as it was late we didn't ring down to check.

The hotel is in a great location, amazing sea view.it’s an old building with a lot of character.the room itself was comfortable but bathroom very dated and dark Staff very friendly and helpful, dealt with any requests straight away, even though they seemed short staffed. We were on room only basis so can’t comment on food.

The Staff were very welcoming and friendly, and my check in was quick and easy. The room was a decent size, and everything was clean, including the bathroom. It's a good location as it's only a couple of minutes walk from either Exmouth town centre or the seafront. It is an older building, so getting to and from the room requires a fair bit of up and down stairs. The room was quite warm, and tricky to have the window open (seagulls!) - no a huge deal.

Great place to stay, friendly staff and great place for an escape , will definitely book again when coming back to Exmouth. Car park free outside but to find it could be challenging, or you can pay the hotel to use theirs (booking needed tho) Overall 👍👍😎
