Zarezervuj si to, pokud You're a multi-generational family or dog owner who wants a nostalgic, unpretentious British seaside holiday with plenty of space for the kids to run wild.
Proč to lidé milují
- Massive 19-acre grounds overlooking the sea
- Genuine dog-friendly policy (allowed almost everywhere except the restaurant)
- Old-school entertainment and facilities like indoor/outdoor pools and a snooker room
Rychlý přehled: A charmingly dated time capsule that feels like a warm hug from your grandmother, provided you don't mind creaky floorboards and 1990s decor.
Recenzoval @CharlotteDyson3075409: I arrived at Langstone Cliff and the walk up the driveway instantly calmed me down. The birds were singing, the sun was filtering through the trees, and it felt like I was entering a secret garden. It’s the perfect spot if you just need to breathe.

Reality check
The decor is undeniably stuck in the past, and the 'canteen-style' breakfast coffee disappoints coffee snobs.
- You are traveling with a dog and want them to be treated like a guest
- You have young kids who need space to burn off energy (soft play, pools, lawns)
- You appreciate traditional hospitality over modern minimalism
Čistota & Údržba
8.5
- Housekeeping: Diligent and friendly. Rooms are serviced daily, though some guests find the early morning start times intrusive.
- Bathroom hygiene: Generally excellent. Many bathrooms have been recently refurbished with modern showers and are kept spotless.
- Maintenance: The building is old, so expect some peeling paint on the exterior or worn carpets in high-traffic areas, but nothing filthy.
- Linens & towels: Clean and functional, though not luxury thread count. Towels are provided for the pool.
- Odors & scents: Mostly fresh, though some hallways can have that 'old building' musty scent (not dirty, just aged).

Časté otázky a skryté tipy
Vše, co opravdu chcete vědět, než si zarezervujete.
Is the pool heated?
Yes, the indoor pool is heated year-round. The outdoor pool is seasonal (May-Sept) and also heated.
Is it really dog friendly?
Yes, very. Dogs cost ~£15/night and are allowed in rooms, grounds, and lounges, just not the main restaurant or pool areas.
Is there air conditioning?
Partial. Many rooms (especially in the Washington wing) have AC, but older standard rooms may not. Ask specifically if visiting in summer.
How far is the beach?
Dawlish Warren beach is a 5-10 minute walk via a public footpath from the hotel grounds.
Is there an elevator?
Yes, there is a lift, but it doesn't reach every single split-level section. If you can't do stairs at all, call ahead to ensure a fully accessible route.
What is the parking situation?
Free for guests who book direct, but you MUST register your license plate at reception upon arrival to avoid automatic fines from the Smart Parking system.
