"Lovely clean property in a gorgeous location in Salcombe. All the staff were friendly and our room had a partial view of the estuary which was lovely. The parking is a bit off putting as it’s on a steep slope and limited but the staff do take care of that when you arrive and can park your car for you. I had to ask for our beds to be twinned on 3 different occasions. Not the end of the world we still had a lovely stay. Loved the spa facilities which were lovely and clean. The dinner in the Jetty was also lovely. Can’t fault the staff they were all polite and decent. I would recommend a stay here, it’s in a gorgeous part of the world, you can’t beat the Cornish coast!"

"The hotel needs a bit more updating. But the staff were absolutely brilliant, friendly and ever ready to help. Must put a word in for receptions Laura and the young staff on breakfast. Both really helpfull and always with a smile. This hotel will cone on in leaps and bounds from its last occupation."

"Lovely stay….attentive staff and great food options…. Would definitely stay again….."

"Lovely stay..grounds are amazing and really liked the pub. The menu was a bit limited but it was tasty and had Devon Red on draft. We had a separate bathroom which was small but fine for the one night"

"Excellent choice, location and service!"

"The biggest plus about this property is the staff: they were wonderful, both at check-in and at check-out. The lobby area is large and inviting, and well-lit. Rather than having on-site parking, the property chose to turn the hotel forecourt into outdoor seating with picnic tables. While sitting outside might be nice in the wamer summer months, not having on-site parking is a negative: the hotel sits on a residential street, so street parking nearby is at a premium. The bedroom corridor and bedroom itself immediately brought to mind a hotel I stayed at in Cornwall in the 1970s. Both were clean and properly maintained, but a renovation would not go amiss: the wall paper was very 1970s! The bed was comfortable as were the pillows, and the comforter was great: I slept like a baby! The bathroom, however, was minute, and that is not an exaggeration. It was a squeeze to get into the shower, and as a 6'1", 250 lb woman, there was barely room in the shower stall to get washed. Given the size of room overall, there would have been plenty of room to increase the size of the bathroom without taking away any of the spaciousness of the bedroom. Overall, this hotel served its purpose as a low-budget, affordable overnight stay, and I would certainly choose to stay here again."

"Such a lovely hotel with friendly staff. The fantastic views at breakfast were so amazing. Definitely going to return! "

"As always our stay at the Cliffden was wonderful."

"Had to get away for a few days due to some renovations at home so decided on torquay, was going to look at the Travelodge or premier inn but hotels.com recommend this one, good price and free breakfast what could go wrong? NOTHING, it was an absolutely fantastic stay and thank you to all the staff, professional, welcoming and helpful. I feel totally refreshed. "
