Heights Hotel

All good could not wish for better. Food good as well though limited selection

Nice room and excellent view at breakfast time.

We were so disappointed when we arrived at the Heights. The outside of the building looks very municipal. Inside we were greeted by the receptionist who was really friendly, welcoming and helpful, as were all the staff at the hotel. As we walked through the corridors to our room things went down hill. The walls were covered in pebbledash, which again looked like a municipal building. Not what one would expect inside a hotel where we payed almost £200/ night. The room decor was extremely dated and again, a real disappointment for what we paid. Our room was clean and had a large bed, and the shower was ok, but the towels provided were very thin and frayed! Not a big deal, but the coffee cups were really awkward to use as the handles looked like they had been fixed upside down. They must have been seconds. Our room overlooked an ugly building and parked van. There was a notice in the bathroom expressing the managements concern regarding the environment, which I would wholeheartedly support. It was therefore very disappointing to be provided with plastic cups. The hotel requires a total upgrade in all areas. I’d like to re-iterate that all the staff in the hotel were delightful. I think you will have gathered by now that we will definitely not be returning and would not recommend. We have since checked into a hotel for our second nights stay, paying considerably less for a beautiful room with an amazing view.

Based ourselves here for two parts of the South West Coast Path walk. Ideal location. Great views, comfortable room and very friendly and welcoming staff. Bistro bar has superb views and ideal to watch the sunset.

Yes, the room was spotless but it is the friendliness of the staff that makes our stay most enjoyable. The wide choice of breakfast suits everyone. Unfortunately we found the evening dinners a little too rich for our taste on this visit. Previous visits have had more choice for the evening meal, with some more 'basic' meals available. However the chef was most accommodating when it came to catering for allergies.
