English Riviera hotel guide. Bay Hotels hotel in English Riviera, Devon

"Thoroughly enjoyed my stay at harbour beach hotel and spa. Breakfast and dinner food very good 👌 and staff very cheerful and friendly. Really appreciated the complimentary shuttle bus into Salcombe 😀"

"Everything was perfect, nice,clean warm hotel room. Breakfast was so good. Stuff so friendly. "

"Hotel has a very nice interior but dated in parts. External is solid concrete and outside areas need a bit of updating. They advertise their external pool but looks like it has been out of action for a very long time. Staff were excellent, breakfast was very good."

"The hotel is a bit dated, the shower in the room was luke warm and lacking pressure. Breakfast wasn’t the best."

"It's my favourite hotel in Torquay. Rooms are spotlessly clean, the bar area is very nice and the complementary breakfast is really high-quality."

"Comments below: pretty accurate.The hotel must be split into two, as many there seemed disadvantaged, but were respectful/welcoming. Our room was in the other wing. The rubbish outside does not appear to cause any concern to the proprietors. Inside the theme continues. Nevertheless, the gentleman who served us was very helpful. Carpet inside the room was minging, but the bed linen was spotless and the sink, shower and toilet were clean, although the whole of the loo seat came right off when lifted so we left it to one side. The half of the broken towel rail hanging on the wall couldn't be used, and the remainder stuck out of the wall at an angle and was used to pop the toilet roll on, but it kept falling off. There was soap in the dispenser by the sink, but it soon ran out. We made sure not to make contact with the carpet in our bare feet or socks. Only one cup provided for two of us, but we bought hot drinks while out. The walls had been painted nicely though. It looks like there is blood around the carpet and some towels, but I think it's actually cleaning fluid that has stained some things. The towels were properly clean and plentiful. We slept brilliantly as it was so quiet and the bed was surprisingly comfy. Next morning, hubby went to shower, which only just worked, and no soap. That's when we realised the sink soap dispenser had run out too! Verdict: at only £45 it did us for the night. A good sleep. Take your own soap/slippers. Expect the worse then it's not so bad."

"Room had mold on ceiling changed and bed was not good. Staff were ok. Breakfast was hit and miss"

"A lovely hotel, some lovely staff but a couple seemed to not be having their best day on our arrival, nice spa, great location. Food was not brilliant, no teaspoon on the tray in the room, mirror not well cleaned and torn net curtains. Housekeeping did make up our room but it looked a bit like my 17 year old son had a go at it. This isn't a bad review as it's a hotel that could be a few very small changes from being perfect. Good central location yet quiet enough to have the windows open at nighttime. Two members of staff shone: Ade in the restaurant and Sam on reception, really friendly."

"At the busy time of day when the majority of guest eat, the staff still cooe and keep an eye on what needs replenishing with the hot breakfast."
