Redcliffe in Torbay

Booked on the off chance as we were in the area for a weekend. Got given room 103. It had a double bed en-suite with a connecting twin room , both had balconies with fantastic sea views. This is not a Devere, Marriott style hotel, it is a traditional Victorian sea front hotel, so don’t expect a modern full gizmo experience. But what you do get is very friendly, helpful staff, great housekeeping team, bed linen changed every day and immaculately clean, and if you get the right room with balcony and sea view, It is a view to die for, with the sea right outside your window. We were delighted that it hadn’t changed much in the 40 yrs since we last stopped there. Bar snacks and restaurant food available and was reasonably priced. We used the indoor pool which was lovely , shame, the sauna, steam room and jacuzzi were not in operation. We were surprised by the low number of people staying at the hotel as it was beautiful weather over the weekend, but hey ho that’s their loss. Hope it stays this way but something tells me that may not be the case. Well done to all the staff for making our weekend so enjoyable. Gary and Jo

Love it….but we’re old and discerning. . Sadly just been sold to a wealthy Russian businessman who want To to make it 5 Star. So I guess we’ll have to find a new haunt

What a beautiful place! I go there on a regular basis for some drinks or food and I can't get enough of it. Very peaceful and the scenery is nice. I would not say the food is excellent but it is tasty

This hotel is in such a wonderful position, offers a very good bar menu, but employing a bar girl who couldn't mix a Bloody Mary, saying 'we don't usually do cocktails here'! It isn't! It's a drink that any bar person should know how to serve, let alone in a good quality hotel! My wife had to instruct her how to mix it! My recommendation is go to a Wetherspoons bar - they know how to mix a good one and at half the price! Without this problem, the overall experience was very good.

Dine with a view out over Torbay just adds another pleasure to the quality and quantity of the food.

spent lots of time walking around the grounds of the Hotel + walking across the sand when the tide went out... even took to a bit of paddling - delightful....

nice enough place but overheard a manager telling off a girl cleaning rooms in such a rude and disrespectful manner it put me off completley

Another great holiday at the Redcliffe.Took club members for a 7 day break which was thoroughly yed by all.

had many a Sunday lunch here, fab Silver service at amazing price....approx £15 per person, recently went with friends for midweek bar meal, that too was lovely, good size portions, staff always friendly and helpful, lovely atmosphere and sea / beach views

we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this hotel.We were here for a dance weekend so we made our own entertainment . Food was good, building was old but not shabby.1st floor room we had was very large and brilliant . only fault I can find is the lift , there is not a safely door on it which could be a bit dangerous with little fingers .

We have stayed at this lovely hotel on 4 occasions now and will be staying many more times in the future including our main 2 weeks next summer. I would find it very difficult to find fault as it has everything you could want in a seaside hotel. It is right on the beach with it's own private tunnel that leads you right onto it, The food is lovely and plentiful -the rooms are very spacious and has lots of wardrobe space-i would advise you book a room with a sea view as it's lovely to wake up to the lovely view of Torbay-a room with a balcony is even better! Finally, i have to mention the excellent staff -nothing is too much trouble for them and they always have a smile for everyone. Don't take my word for it-Try it-you won't be disappointed!

Mi mujer y tuvimos una agradable velada en el restaurante Redcliffe, que tiene una vista magnífica sobre Torbay, quizás el mejor de todos los restaurantes.El menú de cinco platos tiene una opción restringida, pero debería ser aceptable para todos.La limanda y la merluza fueron excelentes. Por desgracia, las verduras no eran recién preparado, y echad el resto de la comida. Este fue el único aspecto negativo en la experiencia.El restaurante sirve principalmente para los residentes y muchos de estos probablemente comimos anteriormente; la última vez que estuvimos a comer esa noche.Nos fuimos al bar después de que presentó una pinta bien guardado de bahías. La mayoría de los clientes eran (muy) viejo tiempo de Derby, bailarines, así que no esperes una alocada noche.

Un cambio entretenida y tener una cena de Navidad, reservé una mesa para cuatro en el restaurante del cantante Paris Hotel localiza justo antes de Navidad.

Back for our third time at the Redcliffe, and will be back again to this Excellent Hotel.... The rooms were clean and spacious, and the staff very obliging, Highly Recommend

Excellent stay in a lovely room with balcony and sea view food excellent too much really and the staff were very friendly

Este hotel fue utilizado por nuestro hijo y su ahora esposa para celebrar la boda de desayuno y buffet de la noche y discoteca. La habitación estaba muy bien establecidos y la comida deliciosa tanto para eventos. El personal era excelente y todo el lugar hermoso en un estilo muy tradicional.

Una visita muy agradable con unas vistas preciosas de Torbay desde nuestra habitación. La comida era excelente, con un servicio atento con el restaurante, con vistas a la bahía. Lo único negativo es que la piscina descubierta no estaba abierta en un bonito clima a principios de junio, aparentemente debido a las preocupaciones sobre los costos involucrados.

We went to the Redcliffe for the air show. What an amazing day. The staff could not have been more helpful. Nothing was too much trouble. We all had such a nice day looking forward to the next one.

It was my 92 year old aunt's choice because she like the heated swimming pool-amazing for her age but then she was Yorkshire born and bred. On the face of it the other guests are rather senior in their years with crutches or mobility scooters. Yet the restaurant and bar are breezy and full of happy people while the views over the sea are super. We had a lightish Sunday lunch and aunty got some useful points on her loyalty card while the beverages revealed evidence of a good cellar master. Try it and see for your self but watch out for the golden wedding parties.

The Hotel transports you back in time when you received impeccable silver service. The overall experience was very good with extremely attentive staff serving piping hot food at a very reasonable price.

Our 2nd visit to this lovely hotel.we had the same room 107.small but perfectly formed,only downside,the beds could do with updating in quality,they are on castors and easily slide,mattress could be better quality,having said i slept well.food is of a higher standard and plentifull.varied choice and well cooked,all the staff i found to be polite and friendly,especially tyrone,daniel,and abbigail in the restuarant nothing was too much trouble.love this hotel with all its nooks and crannies.went swimming every day,entertainment in the main also good.hope to return again soon.choose a balcony sea view room.wonderfull views out to sea

We booked into this hotel restaurant one saturday night after seeing this 5 course set meal.Very impressed at the choice of courses with silver service a wonderful restaurant with a great view sitting by the window.Service was first class and nothing too much trouble for them and we didnt have to wait too long between courses.we will going back for definate.

Great for ice cream and beach side snacks including cream tea. Great service too. Close to the bumper boats, railway, crazy golf and park

The food at the Redcliffe Hotel is exceptional with plenty of choice for each meal. Having spent a week there, very few items on the menu were repeated during that time - certainly not the main course of 4 courses. Breakfasts are excellent.

Sunday lunch is available to non residents. As a resident, I can recommend the meals, but they're quite expensive - £22 but good value for the money.

LOVE the Redcliffe, old fashioned service, amazing views and the food is good. Just a lovely place to relax and watch the sea!

was here for a wedding and I have to say the food and service was of the highest standard cannot fault it in anyway, really enjoyed it.

I was treated to a special short break for my birthday. The location was good, the food was excellent couldn't fault it. The major downfall for this hotel was the fact that they ship in coach loads of old age pensioners who take over the bar and ballroom strict tempo dancing waltz etc. There was a dress code for evening meal suit and tie, which I thought was good. Only the oap's decided to turn up in Hawaiian shirt and garlands, this spoilt it for me. This was not a cheap 4 day break, very disappointed, will definitely not be returning to this hotel, and would only recommend it to OAP'S .

Visited on this occasion on what was a wet summers day. Enjoyed a classic cottage pie with lovely fresh vegetables followed by a warm chocolate Brownie with vanilla ice cream. The service was prompt and friendly. Thoroughly recommend here for a weekday lunch or I have also experienced their traditional Sunday lunch which for value and service takes some beating. Traditional values in fabulous setting.

Loved the atmosphere, location, in fact loved everything at this hotel. The service is first class and on a fine day you can sit outside overlooking the sea, or go for a swim in the outside pool. Mind you if weather not so good use the indoor facilities

Having previously on different occasions enjoyed an excellent bar snack and a good Sunday lunch we were delighted to be invited to a 50th wedding anniversary dinner. We selected from the standard table d'hote menu and it gradually went down hill. My starter was Okay but one other diner had mussels and said that "they were the worst that he'd ever had." The main course was served on lukewarm plates and the veg was lumpy mashed potato, frozen peas and a lumpy mixture of carrots and swede, My cod was not properly prepared, not boned and over cooked. The sweets were sickly and appeared to be bought in. There was one hot sweet which was rice pudding with strawberry jam and looked exactly as if was served straight from the tin. I felt that out generous hosts had been ripped off. I won't be going there again.

Met family here for Sunday lunch, excellent value for money, £16 for 3 courses plus coffee. Very good service.

This restaurant is part of the Hotel Redcliffe, on the sea front, and open to the public. The dining room offers fine food in a splendid setting overlooking Paignton beach. It is a high class establishment, but the prices are reasonable. Good choices on the menu, cheerful service, and good wine selection. We had three courses for around fifteen pounds. Everyone enjoyed their meal. There is a ballroom nearby the restaurant, and a spa for those energetic enough !
