Good Hotel Guide Review
The hotel experts at the Good Hotel Guide
Watching the changing light and activity on the River Dart from the terrace, restaurant or bedrooms of this stylish and relaxed hotel soothes the soul. 'No matter at what time you visit,' says a regular guest, 'everything ticks over to perfection.' Its 'great location' overlooking the river means every bedroom has a view and often a balcony, balustrade or patio to take in the scene. 'Decorated to a very high standard' in soft shades of grey, with blue and taupe highlights, and in a comfortable but uncluttered style, rooms offer calm spaces and sleek bathrooms. Top rooms have a freestanding bath and binoculars. Tasty food – fresh fish from nearby Brixham market – taken in the panoramic River restaurant could include pan-fried sea bream with saffron potato, local venison with beetroot tarte Tatin, and rib-eye steak. 'All very good, and not too nouvelle!' Breakfast, afternoon tea and cocktails can be enjoyed on the terrace; in summer, a vintage truck in the Waterfront Garden serves coffee, cakes and chilled drinks. With 'friendly and attentive staff' the hotel is 'one of our absolute favourites'. (Peter Anderson, HK, and others)
