Hotels With Spa in Devon, United Kingdom

I am writing this review on behalf of my parents who have just stayed at the Trecarn through Caledonia Travel - and theyve had a fabulous time. Yes the hotel needs a little updating in places but they are getting back on their feet from suffering 2years of covid. For my parents - the staff were excellent and the food was excellent (buffet style for which you could eat has much as you wanted and 4free drinks per person). The evening entertainment was very good and they enjoyed the bingo also. Their Caledonia Drivers were excellent and all the trips were also thoroughly enjoyed. Overall a great holiday

We stayed for one night in August. The Duke of Cornwall is a historic Victorian building which looks amazing on the outside, it’s a very old hotel so has some querks. There was major external works so scaffolding in place and most of the building was covered in tarpaulin. We booked via a popular ”booking” site for £210 for a family room + our fur baby including breakfast. A Grand staircase leads up to all floors and these are well numbered and easy to find rooms. You can take the lift if you prefer but it is very small and a bit claustrophobic. We were in Room 410 – the room itself was huge, bedroom and bathroom, whilst huge, the room was bit 'tired' but very clean & a modernised bathroom. The bed was VERY comfy and we had a good night’s sleep. Hairdryer supplied in room – handy although it was a typical travel hairdryer so don’t expect too much. The back of the hotel is very different to the front, a bit run-down and in desperate need of sprucing up! Car parking - small car park and situated at the back of the building, with a walkway from the car park leading into the hotel and then down one floor to reception to check in. Bar area = modernised with original features and prices were reasonable. We did request a snack at about 8:30ish and was told to wait as kitchen was still open but no one came to take order - the hotel information stated the restaurant served meals from 7pm until 9:30pm daily so we were a little disappointed that we couldn’t have anything. Breakfast: was served in the bar area as we had taken our fur baby down with us. There was a choice of croissants, cereals, fruit, yoghurt etc. or cooked selection. We opted for bacon, sausage, scrambled egg and mushrooms all ordered from our table and was brought out within 5 minutes – staff were really friendly and attentive. Although the breakfast was fine it seemed expensive for the 3 of us as was £54.00. We had mixed feelings about our stay. The hotel itself is very grand in the public areas but the corridors and rooms need some attention to bring them back up to the grandeur they once were – we would stay again if rooms had an upgrade to match the rest of the hotel.

We headed to Plymouth for a surprise 30th birthday party and booked here as it was near to the venue. The reception staff were great, I received 2 free drinks vouchers which were part of my deal without having to request them. The star of the service staff was the young man, who was new to working the bar (Fri 17th March in the afternoon) He was clearly so passionate about getting everything correct, checking all glasses for marks etc. He is a credit to an employer. The room was spacious and the bed super comfy with loads of pillows. Shower and bathroom were really clean and had good pressure (something I always comment on, as there is nothing worse trying to freshen up under a dribble!) We were only on the 2nd floor but heard no street noise at all. The location is great for the barbican. Only small issue is that the car park is very grotty- but its a typical city centre car park. But its locked at night so fairly safe I would say. Definitely would stay again when we come back.

Arriving late in the evening, you could be easily mistaken in thinking it’s more like a motel or truck stop. However, this is definitely not so. In the morning you’re greeted warmly by friendly staff like Raj and Grant who simply can’t do enough. Breakfast is full English, toast, porridge, fresh fruit salad. Plenty of tea and coffee. We didn’t always need cleaners in our room, but when we did, not only did they tidy our bed but took the time to fold our personal clothing on the bed so it looked cared for - just like a touch of home! The room was clean and spotless. It’s a great hotel with a vibrant mix of staff. We didn’t use the hotel for evening meals but it seems to be very popular as it is for conferences and weddings. We’d definitely come back again.

Having stayed at the Jury's Inn chain of hotels previously in other cities we decided to stay at the hotel when we visited Exeter. The hotel enjoys a great location and the facilities are ok but unfortunately the servicing leaves a lot to be desired. There is no mention of this anywhere on their website and you are not told at any stage when you book and you only find out once you have paid and visit your room. On entering your room you find a nicely laminated note from the management advising you that your rooms will not be serviced on short stays. The management are using the excuse of the Covid pandemic to save costs and avoid doing your beds, emptying your bins, changing your towels, replenishing your toilet paper and the complimentary tea/ coffee. This is now only provided on request.My previous experience of this chain of hotels was that you also had a small fridge in the room and you were provided with complimentary bottles of water, this is no longer the case. Effectively the client experience has been watered down yet the prices remain the same. The client experience received from the staff was inconsistent, some were great others were very unhelpful. The hotel is not cheap and based on their current offering way overpriced.

Visiting Torquay for the weekend as it is a place we had always wanted to see. The Hampton was a very convenient location. Set right in the heart of the town it couldn't have been better. Staff very friendly, and thanks to Valentian (I hope I have spelled your name correctly). He was exceptionally helpful and professional and sorted a lovely room for us both. The room had a partial view of the harbour and made such a difference to our enjoyment of the room. Rooms are great. Functional and comfortable with all that the traveller needs provided including hair conditioner and face flannels. The shower is both rain shower and hand held hose - always a bonus, though the shower 'door' is a little weird as there not being one, water gets over the floor if you're not careful. Very good night's sleep as the mattress is good quality and the pillows very comfortable, plus on the 4th floor,it was perfectly quiet. Breakfast on a Sunday morning was one of the best as excellent selection apart from one tiny niggle: it would have been nice to have natural yoghurt but supply chains in the UK are uncertain at present. There are two entrances to this hotel. One, the main entrance up the hill on Terrace Road but the other is at downtown street level and is accessed by either your room card or by pressing the buzzer and reception will click you in, and then take the lift up to the reception area.. Great stay and would certainly return.

Wonderful location. Brilliant interior design, together with the spa we added, it was one of the best stays I had in England! Will definitely come back and opt for another indigo elsewhere!

Stayed for 12 nights as on a two week training course in Plymouth, nice comfortable room, all amenities available hot and cold drinks (cold kept in room fridge, found the fridge handy to store extra milk!) as not keen on the cartons of milk nice hot shower and bath however shower does take a while to warm up bed and towels changed daily, hotel good location and easy access to all Plymouth attractions within walking distance beware if on foot of the hills! as the hotel is at the top of a hill, good selection at breakfast and nice friendly staff and good to see the hotel manager around the hotel greeting guests at breakfast, also nice to get a complimentary drinks voucher a nice touch too. and a nice fitness suite for guests to use,a few minor issues slight peel on wallpaper in room, warm room had to keep fan on or open window also as light sleeper and at back of hotel could hear students in the student flats opposite and the seagulls flying around all night

We stayed here 2 nights and were really impressed by this hotel, it really has everything you need, safe, mini-fridge, kettle with tea, coffee, milk and biscuits, hair-dryer, ironing board/iron, bath and shower, nice toiletries, nice towels, lovely big bed, great bed linen, kept at a nice warm temperature, it really is hard to fault this hotel in any way. Breakfast was included and was up in the penthouse with amazing panoramic views of Plymouth, breakfast itself was probably one of the best hotel breakfasts I’ve ever had with a huge choice of hot and cold dishes, including vegetarian options. Most options were self service but there was also a menu of dishes cooked to order such as Eggs Benedict, poached eggs and salmon etc. Hotel itself was a hive of activity in the bar and restaurant on the ground floor but nice and peaceful and quiet up on our floor. One of the lifts was out of action when we were there which caused a bit of congestion and long waits with just the one lift working. Reception was friendly and efficient, we would definitely come here again, the attention to detail and affordable prices make it a really great stay. There are also other facilites here like a pool and sauna however unfortunately we didn’t have the time to use these.

All in all it was so amazing weekend The only thing needed a refrigerator in the room otherwise everything was totally fine

I was fortunate enough to have a sea facing room with a balcony. The views across Torbay were breath taking and may have justified the stay on their own. However when added to the friendliness of the staff and the quality of the food the experience became one of the best UK short breaks (7 nights) I have ever had. The only negatives are perhaps the walk back up the hill after a day in the town and the time spent changing a barrel of beer when they Estrella ran dry! The hill exists and cannot be blamed on the hotel and the views would not be the same without it and there was plenty of other ales available in the bar - so VERY minor issues. I would certainly stay there again .

Nice hotel with lovely location. Spa and food facilities are very good. Standard family room was dated, mattresses were awful, springs had gone. Nice bathroom. Generally hotel was clean. We arrived to a lot of dust on one of the beds which kept appearing, perhaps from the top of the headboard? Not sure. Could do with more staff at breakfast. Overall, would visit again.

We booked this because of location witch is only 100 metres from the front of torquay! Reception said how did we come on the train ? We said by car ! They said why didn't you come ear and there is parking at the back of the hotel !!!!! They said on the booking that there is no parking so we're arranged parking our self's!!! When got there was a bit early but they would see if room was ready witch it was good one room 110 was OK but come nite constantly morning noise as its above the in door pool and when there are peoplein there very noisy ! Was woke up with fire alarm at 2'30 am no explanation !! Settled in had a look around but dated but clean !! Nice out door swimming pool !! Grounds are keeper well !! Staff were helpful but young with not much experience!! As evening came asked if we could see evening menu with that reception said no chef !!!!! Breakfast was OK but a bit unorganised!!!! In the day there was not chance of getting a snack or food in the hotel ! Don't no if there trying to sort there's things out !! Didn't seem to be any management around plus for what you pay no dress code no name badges !!! Would I go back not in the near future as there are better hotels around

A tricky review to write. Despite plenty of positives, overall I was slightly disappointed and underwhelmed by this hotel. Perhaps my expectations were higher. However, the positives include the important ones: spotlessly clean, good shower, comfortable bed and largely pleasant staff. But for somewhere at this price these are to be expected. Other more personal positives were: an excellent spa, a really good massage from Vio, a top notch burger in the Mayflower restaurant, one of the best made whisky sours I've ever had, and the bedroom had an iron and ironing board. The secret bar is a delight and the Aclief restaurant looked lovely, although we didn't try it. Less good was the checking-in experience. Sitting in chairs that are way too low, I felt I was being interrogated and being asked for information that the hotel already had (as evidenced by endless email confirmations and reminders prior to arrival). The whole process seemed to take ages. What's wrong with ”oh hello Mr Thomas, you're in room 33 and here are your keys. Is there anything else I can help you with?”. Also, I have a personal objection having to book a breakfast time. I'd just spent 4 weeks touring France and Spain and this was by far the most uncomfortable and unnecessary check-in experince I'd had. And this is important - it sets the tone for the rest of the visit. Other negatives included: a failure to meet my pre-booked champagne and chocolates order - rather spoiling the surprise. On being informed, the receptionist didn't apologise - leaving that to the trainiee in her second day who clearly sensed my displeasure - she should go far. The bedroom layout was questionable, and generally just ordinary. All in all the hotel does provide many positives, especially the spa, but I just expected somethiing a little less ordinary, with a bit more atmosphere.

We stayed here two nights while touring a bigger area of Devon. We arrived early, and had lunch on their patio. Had a nice room and breakfast two mornings. Nice selection of food, nice staff, clean rooms. Unfortunately, the two elevators weren't working the first evening after we had gone to our room. Fixed the next day. Close to walk to the cathedral and nice places to eat. We would stay there again.

It's very good. It's worth recommending. It's very good. My friends like it very much. Next time, I'll take my family to check in. Breakfast is rich, transportation is convenient, and the couple's attitude is also very good.
