Cliffden Hotel

Set in beautiful Gardens, with what we can only describe a 7 acre private park. The building is most impressive inside. Obliviously built to impress visitors. The stairs & balcony could well be used in TV etc. The room was OK. The previous occupant had left some items in the wardrobe, which the staff removed immediately when informed. Bed was comfortable. Shower room clean & in good condition. We asked for a ground floor room as l am disabled. Sadly there was no view, also, it was hot at the time & could not leave windows open. But we had the use of an electric fan. We only had breakfast each day, which was fine with a good choice. Other meals are available at extra cost. Once again, the conservatory attached to dining room was really rewarding, with clifftop sea views, & the Garden. Easy to get to Teignmouth & sea front etc on foot. Beware, the parking is hard to find & expensive throughout the Torbay area. Unfortunately it can be difficult to park at the hotel at certain times as well. Forgot to mention the good bar.

The breakfast was extremely good and plentiful. Having previously stayed at the hotel prior to Covid, it was evident there was no waiter service or selection of breakfasts. This is totally understood as everyone has to cut back on costs. This is not a moan but a fact of the times and the staff could not have been more helpfu.

Breakfast was good, cereals, yogurts, cooked breakfast etc. Evening meal would have been much better if there had been more staff in the kitchen, as the meals were taking ages. The location ( although on a hill) was excellent, near the beach with stunning views and a lovely garden. There is a bus stop (no. 2) outside the hotel for those people like myself who may find the walk back up the hill too much.

Nice hotel. We will definitely stay there again. The location was wonderful, with sea views from some of the rooms and the dining room. It is set in 7.5 acres of beautiful grounds, which lead down to the seafront, and you can walk into Teignmouth. The buffet breakfast was very good. Our room was light and very clean. Housekeeping in the rooms is not automatic, but you can request a clean at any time, and reception have any extras that you might need during your stay. There is also a lift which is great for getting cases up and down. The bus stops right outside the hotel, which is very useful for getting into Dawlish, should you wish to leave your car behind.

clean, comfortable and ideal for going into town.
