What guests think

At Best Western The Dartmouth Hotel, Golf & Spa, guests consistently praise the scenic, quiet setting and friendly staff, while a number of reviews highlight dated areas alongside occasional maintenance and comfort issues that affect the overall experience.

Rooms are often spacious and quiet, but several guests report temperature control problems and some uncomfortable beds. Spa and leisure facilities are popular, yet a few reviews note cleanliness shortcomings, occasional pool closures or cold water, and morning adults-only swim times that restrict families, while daily housekeeping is on request and not always communicated. Dining feedback is generally positive for cooked breakfast and meals, though some find the menu limited, vegetarian options unappealing, or prices high. Overall, expect a relaxed countryside stay with friendly service and amenities that can feel inconsistent.

The hotel is a little tired in places most noticeably in the spa which was not particularly clean and littered with cups/ bottles etc in both the changing room pms & the public areas. This was disappointing as simple to resolve.

I was really impressed with my stay. My room was spacious, and spotlessly clean. The bathroom shower was excellent. If you are tempted to stay, ignore any negative reviews as it's really nice here. I didn't hear any other guests moving around. I used the spa facilities twice and found everything clean and tidy. The pool is small but was adequate for a decent swim. I will definitely return.

Lovely setting and views from the hotel public areas and our room. Quiet and peaceful. Staff were all very helpful and friendly. Room spacious , clean and comfortable. Breakfast was self serve offering a good choice of hot & continental. Swimming pool was closed whilst we were there unfortunately but hot tub jacuzzi and sauna were open and available along with other Spa facilities. Would definitely stay again.

We wanted a nice relaxing and chilled weekend. The hotel, room except for the shower and hairdryer, food and the staff were awesome. However we couldn’t use the pool as it was freezing cold. The pool was one of the reasons we picked this hotel.

Just lacks a bit of cleaning, the gym was filthy with no air conditioning (I didn’t bother with the pool area based on this!!) The stairs haven’t seen a hoover for a very long time! The room was large and clean enough though. Very quiet and I slept well. I would stay here again and recommend for a cheap business night or weekend. Breakfast was great and the waiter was lovely.

The bathroom was tired and needs upgrading. The shower in the bath was difficult to access because of our age. Although we were there for a three night stay the towels were not changed and when we questioned this at reception we were told they are only changed if requested and there was a problem with staff shortage. The waste bin was not emptied for the whole stay although it was full and the cups/coffee/ tea were not replaced. We expected much better for the price we paid.

I’ve stayed here before and I have to say the property has degraded considerably. The mattress was terrible in the room leaving both my wife and I with sore backs and hips. The ‘Spa’ pool, sauna, jacuzzi, etc were tired and lacking cleanliness. The changing rooms were dirty and showing their age as well as water damage to metal furnishings. The lack of items in the room like a fridge or even basic wash items such as a shower cap, cotton bud etc were noticeable by absence. Overall I wouldn’t come back as it was lacking in the basics of cleanliness and hygiene as well as other things I’d expect as complimentary of a Spa Hotel - like a decent bed.

I really wanted to give this a glowing review as there was much to like, however overall my experience was terrible. I stayed off season, but breakfast is not served until 7.30am during weekdays, which was too late as I had to be out by then, making it virtually useless for anyone who is working. However the hotel were very accommodating and credited my breakfast against the evening meal. The evening meal was very pleasant but as the restaurant was busy (Pancake Day) it was slow. The room on the lowest level (107) was cold. It had night storage heaters so I presumed it would warm up but it didn\'t. Again not a massive issue as I would prefer to be cool than too hot. However my shower was a non existent drip. When I got up in the morning at 6.30 for a shower it was not possible as there was no water. I was told the borehole had dried up but this really left me disappointed. I discussed this with reception and as it was early they took it away to deal with it. They offered a full refund which was agreeable, however over a week later I have checked Expedia and my Credit Card and there is no credit applied, so I have been left feeling let down again. I have tried calling and emailing to resolve without any luck. I need to stay in South Devon every month for the next 15 months but I will have to look for somewhere that can meet the basic needs of a traveller. The school report says "could do better"

The room was spotless and quiet with plenty of tea/coffee/milk/ biscuits for our 1 night stay. We really enjoyed having use of the pool/steam room/sauna and jacuzzi. Especially adults gaving use of it for an hour before children were allowed in. Definitely would stay there again.
