Viatges a Cheriton Fitzpaine

Staff very friendly helpful, although there's a lift there are still some stairs to navigate up or down to certain rooms. Parking for about 20 cars, full English was adequate and tasty. Coffee was great. I did feel the place needs a little TLC, other than that my short stay was good.

Ein sehr süßes, liebevoll eingerichtetes Hotel, das wunderschön liegt. Das gesamte Personal ist unglaublich bemüht und freundlich. Leider waren in unserem Zimmer einige Sachen wie das Fenster, das Badezimmer dreckig. Als Beispiel gab es eine kleine Badeente, an der leider Haare klebten. Ist das Badezimmer eigentlich renoviert? Aber die unterste Fliesenreihe hat schwarzen Schimmel. Das kann man alles weg putzen meiner Meinung nach. Das ist aber auch der einzige Nachteil an diesem Hotel. Alles andere war absolut reizend und sehr liebevoll.. Zu erwähnen es noch, dass das Hotel relativ hellhörig ist. Zu unserem Glück hatten wir keine Nachbarn die Party gemacht haben und somit konnten alle ab 23:00 Uhr in Ruhe schlafen. Wenn man in den Nationalpark möchte, ist dieses Hotel optimal. Man kann zu Fuß vom Hotel aus in 25 Minuten Haytor Rock erreichen und hat einen guten Einstieg beziehungsweise Überblick über einen Teil des Nationalparks Hervorzuheben ist noch das wirklich leckerer Frühstück und der ausgezeichnete Service. Wenn wir jemals wieder in der Gegend sind, kommen wir auf alle Fälle wieder.

A nice hotel, decent food and drinks offering. Staff were friendly, rooms were a bit dated and pokey but not an issue. Bonus of charging points for electric cars which saved us a trip out. The local area is fantastic and worth the visit

The Grand Hotel is a historic property with excellent staff and great food, and it's very handy if you're travelling by rail to or from the adjacent Torquay station. The recent renovation of the indoor pool, changing rooms and spa facilities was long overdue and provides a now clean and welcoming experience, although the arrangement remains sub-optimal from a hygiene perspective with guests and staff having to walk poolside wearing shoes to access the changing rooms. The lobby and bar area are well-appointed and welcoming, the restaurant serves fantastic food but is somewhat shabby with dated decor and fittings. The breakfast buffet is extensive with everything you could imagine, and even includes a gluten free section. On the upper floors, the rooms, corridors and staircases remain very dated, with 1980s bathrooms, peeling window frames, and old radiators. Some updates to furniture, interior decoration and modern TV sets do little to offset the sense that this a dated property long overdue for comprehensive refurbishment. One of the two lifts was out of service for the duration of our stay. Nevertheless this is a very welcoming and pleasant place to stay, and the pool/spa facilities are perfectly decent following the recent works. It's also great value, and I suspect that if it were comprehensively renovated to contemporary 4 star expectations I would probably not be able to afford it!
