The Ness

We had a lovely stay, beautiful room, very comfortable. Super helpful and friendly staff. Excellent location, delicious breakfast

Fab fab little nugget to stay in. The only issue we had was getting a taxi either way. So book this well in advance.

During my stay the hotel room was incredibly tidy, lovely accommodating staff. The balcony had an absolutely stunning view. The hotel was incredibly tidy and lovely. We had something happen and the staff were very kind and considerate aswell as the owners. Beautiful property overall and would 100% recommend to others to stay here and I would stay here again. The bathroom was spotless and had all the necessary products required. Genuinely slept very well and the bed was incredibly comfortable, lovely how they provided a kettle and complimentary biscuits, was very nice and a really pretty presentation of the room. All my love to the staff and owners. -Amelia

We love this place, always a pleasure to stay here. We had a nice balcony room this time (room 4). Great breakfast and friendly team all round as usual. Thanks guys! See you again soon.

I'm going to be honest. We had one of the 2 dog friendly rooms with a view of a beer garden - we were not happy. Being disappointed initially we nearly moved to a different hotel. The view was the thing we most wanted. The entrance was pretty sad looking. An old and dirty table sits outside with an umbrella leaning nearby. A very uninviting entrance. Some plants would help it look better. Once in the room it is actually very pretty. However, with the curtains open anyone in the garden can see in - some voiles would help. The balcony is thin so you can just about sit at the table but it isn't a place you want to sit as its placed next to the beer garden and under the balcony of the room above which has slatted floor allowing you to view the people above sitting there. The biscuits and drinks table is nice as is a supply of canned water each day. The room was cleaned daily with the exception of the solid floor. It was gritty and dusty, a rug would have been nice when getting changed so clothes didn't drag on it. Its practical with dogs but not for bare footed humans. The mattress - awful, lumpy and with a middle hump. There's no fridge - needed for dog food, although allowed to use a fridge in the dining room. The dining room and terrace - lovely, a very pleasant place to have a meal. The staff are brilliant, helpful and tolerant as we were a bit dissatisfied. We'd go back but only in a front facing room. Shaldon is excellent, we love it. The staff make the hotel worth it.
