I was sorry to read your review and the fact you were unhappy with your accommodation. I wish you had spoken to either myself or a member of the reception team as we would have done everything we could to relocate you to another room. I can 100% categorically state that ew would never tell a guest to check out... More

My Dad and I stayed at this hotel from 31st May to 3rd June and we had a really good time overall. The single rooms we had were very small but functional. Everything worked and was clean and for the prices you pay I would say this was pretty fair. I think the overriding best point of this hotel is... More

Lets start with the positives: Staff - excellent Entertainment - Excellent Breakfasts - good Room - average, would have been fine if the carpet was fitted properly, and if we didn't have a big crack in the bathroom panel and trouble flushing the toilet. Evening Meal - we had one good meal the braised steak was lovely, but my husband... More

We were allocated a refubished non smoking room which was fairly small with a tiny shower/ toilet which would have been impossible to use for anyone on the large side. This would have been OK except for the smell of cigarettes which completely dominated even after leaving the windows open for two/three days. The cleaner must have no sense of... More

Official Description (provided by the hotel):
Located in its own grounds in a quiet residential area, the Trecarn hotel is just a short stroll from the Babbacombe Downs and the delightful village of St Marychurch. The ground floor public areas of the hotel were the subject of an extensive refurbishment in 2010 which has been very well received by our guests. The hotel now benefits from well-appointed lounge areas, large entertainment suite and bar. The restaurant has been completely re-styled and now offers a spacious and contemporary dining experience. After enjoying the renowned entertainments the hotel has to offer, you should also sleep better than ever as we have also refurbished 62 of the hotel’s bedrooms! The Trecarn Hotel is ideally placed for exploring the surrounding area of Torbay and the delightful South Devon Coast. There is an excellent bus service taking you to town centre and beyond. ... more   less
