Thank You

We had a wonderful New Year’s Eve break here. The welcome was warm, as was the temperature in the hotel. The entertainment was great, despite the reluctance of some of the guests to join in, but you always get them! The food was fantastic and so were the staff. We will definitely return.

Thank you for a pleasant stay

Thank you for a lovely stay at your hotel. All four of us stayed from 8th to 10th July and we had a fantastic time. We were treated like God's and the staff were so helpful and polite and nothing was too much trouble for them. The hotel was so very clean and fresh and everything was spotless. The food was of very high quality, plentiful and was cooked to perfection. Our thanks to Tim the chef and all those in the kitchen who made it possible. The entertainment was very good both nights and something we did not expect at all. Our rooms were a bit small but clean and comfortable but the only thing we were not happy with was the very cramped bathroom. You could not swing a cat in there. We have seen bigger broom cupboards! I understand that this is a common feature at this hotel as it was converted from a Victorian hotel and part of each room was lost for the addition of the very small bathroom. Still you only spend but a short time there so this is but a minor niggle. We would certainly come back. All the criticism about this hotel seems well over the top and totally unfair. Well done to you all and top marks for everything, bathroom excepted!

Great Holiday

Had a lovely holiday first time to this hotel and had read very differing reviews of it so did not know what to expect. The staff were excellent, friendly and genuinely cared that guests enjoyed their holiday. There is a very good choice of menu including vegetarian dishes. It made a change to be offered this rather asking each meal time for a vegetarian option like a lot of hotels I have stayed at before. The room was small but clean and fresh towels each day. Sea view and convenient for town centre.

Nice Short Break

Emailing on behalf of our group of 5 to say how much we enjoyed the holiday. Good location for visiting other places of interest. Excellent staff who were courteous, attentive and cheerful, nothing was too much trouble. Great entertainment every night to a very high standard. Must also mention our coach driver Roy who was very knowledgeable and kept us informed of local history and landmarks during the trips out. He was a great character who was always friendly and cheerful. Top marks!

Thank you for a good refreshing holiday

My wife and myself recently stayed here, we have been in a number of Shearings hotels, but we found this one really relaxing and very friendly, the staff were brilliant, food was really good with good variety, the bedroom was a little bit tired and needs uplifting, but very comfortable, excellent value for money we will be back and would highly recommend it.

Many Thanks

We have just come home from the Paignton hotel and would like to thank all the staff at the hotel for a helping to make our stay a happy one. The only fault we would say the rooms are very small bathrooms would not suite everyone as they could have trouble getting out of the shower. The entertainment was great and we would go back again.

Thanks

We have had a Mon.-Fri. all inclusive break and what a great time we had. The staff were so helpful, as a disabled person, all my needs were catered for, the food was brilliant and we were made to feel at home. We have stayed in most of the hotels in this group, and found the Esplanade to be one of the best, good parking too as we went in our own car. Thanks again to all the staff.

Memories

I worked at the Tarbet Hotel for a year as the deputy manager and found it quite unique. The challenges and rewards were many and the people there wonderful. I'm glad the upgrades have taken place as the beautiful area deserves it. I miss many things about the old castle and the land of horizontal rain.

Very pleasant stay

Had an enjoyable four night stay with Shearings in March 2012. Hotel in a very good location, a short walk into Paignton centre. Room was fairly small but fine. The bathroom and shower cubicle were very small. There was a large step into the shower and I had difficulty getting in (I'm disabled), luckily there was a grab rail to pull myself in. I still managed a shower every night so not a big deal. Staff and food were excellent. Decent entertainment. Would definitely go back.
