Across the reviews, Browns Hotel stands out for its central Dartmouth location, friendly hosts, comfortable rooms, and notably good breakfasts, though several guests mention slow or understaffed morning service and the need to use a nearby car park with permits.
Several reviews also highlight tasty evening meals and a welcoming bar. A few reviews note building quirks such as sloping floors, small bathroom fixtures, and occasional maintenance or housekeeping lapses. Expect a friendly, central base with strong dining and occasional breakfast delays.

Bar and bistro on site receive positive comments. Parking is off site via a nearby municipal car park with a hotel voucher or permit, which many found convenient though there is no on site parking.

Good location and parking not a problem with the pass for the car park about 200m away (£8 per day) No complaints about the service or the breakfast. Host ensured we had a bathtub. The only downside was the tilted floor in room 8, to the extent it was disorientating. Granted, it is an old building and alterations may be limited. However. if 3 legs of the bedframe were lengthened to make it horizontal that would certainly help.

Clearly understaffed and overpriced but no specific issues. Breakfast service was slow but to be expected as one person seems to do everything ie reception, the bar and breakfast service. Didn’t see any other staff. Location is central to the town but no parking.

This is a lovely hotel, offering parking at a nearby car park for £8 per day, and only a 5 minute walk to the ferries to Greenways, a cruise along the River Dart and the Devon Steam Railway. The staff were friendly and helpful and welcoming on arrival. The rooms are clean and spacious, with unlimited tea, coffee and biscuits. The beds are comfy and also there are good hot showers. We had a meal there on our first evening and it was excellent - freshly cooked, local ingredients. The breakfasts each morning were superb - a great choice, table service and everything that you could want was provided. We recommend this hotel highly and will stay there again on our return to Dartmouth.

The hotel was OK a bit tired. What shocked me was the staff member that checked us in and served us for breakfast ( may well have been a family member)) was far from friendly almost surly. At breakfast which sounds a bit petty but I simply asked for some hot milk for my coffee and she refused. I then asked again and said could she not simply heat up the cold milk in the small glass bottle the milk came in. She just said I can’t do that. For goodness sake even premier inns would heat some milk up for you. This was not a cheap hotel.

This is a nice small hotel conveniently located and we enjoyed our stay. Bistro was excellent, staff were welcoming and friendly. Breakfasts a bit disappointing - slow service for cooked items on day 2 even when there were only four in the restaurant and the meat items were overcooked and toast cold. We booked the best room as a treat so very spacious and pleasant up on top floor but could be improved with a new mattress which fits the bed frame plus some larger cushions for back support when sitting up. We were also a bit surprised, given the cost of the room, that there was no tidying/replenishing of the room on day two of our stay - my husband had to fetch milk, tea bags and biscuits from three floors down when we returned from our day out, and clean the cups we’d left. Suspect this was an oversight but needs to be noted. Despite these points, we enjoyed our stay and especially the service and food at the bistro. The hotel is very well located, the parking arrangement is excellent and overall we loved our first ever visit to Dartmouth.

This hotel is an absolute gem right in the heart of Dartmouth! We were lucky enough to be staying in the suite at the very top of the hotel, which is a lovely, spacious room with a gorgeous bathroom. It is walking distance from all of the main highlights of Dartmouth (approx. 3 min walk from the riverfront), including restaurants and pubs. Breakfast was included in our stay and it was delicious. I will definitely stay here again!

This hotel is an absolute gem right in the heart of Dartmouth! We were lucky enough to be staying in the suite at the very top of the hotel, which is a lovely, spacious room with a gorgeous bathroom. It is walking distance from all of the main highlights of Dartmouth (approx. 3 min walk from the riverfront), including restaurants and pubs. Breakfast was included in our stay and it was delicious. I will definitely stay here again!

This is a lovely hotel, offering parking at a nearby car park for £8 per day, and only a 5 minute walk to the ferries to Greenways, a cruise along the River Dart and the Devon Steam Railway. The staff were friendly and helpful and welcoming on arrival. The rooms are clean and spacious, with unlimited tea, coffee and biscuits. The beds are comfy and also there are good hot showers. We had a meal there on our first evening and it was excellent - freshly cooked, local ingredients. The breakfasts each morning were superb - a great choice, table service and everything that you could want was provided. We recommend this hotel highly and will stay there again on our return to Dartmouth.

Dining
Breakfast quality is a standout across reviews, and the bistro dinners and bar are well liked. However, cooked breakfast service can be slow at times, and a few guests found some items overcooked.

A somewhat indifferent attitude on arrival. Poor info on parking vouchers. Breakfast staff on Sunday morning could have been more helpful. Breakfasts generally good although not on Sunday morning when staff seemed unprepared.

This is a nice small hotel conveniently located and we enjoyed our stay. Bistro was excellent, staff were welcoming and friendly. Breakfasts a bit disappointing - slow service for cooked items on day 2 even when there were only four in the restaurant and the meat items were overcooked and toast cold. We booked the best room as a treat so very spacious and pleasant up on top floor but could be improved with a new mattress which fits the bed frame plus some larger cushions for back support when sitting up. We were also a bit surprised, given the cost of the room, that there was no tidying/replenishing of the room on day two of our stay - my husband had to fetch milk, tea bags and biscuits from three floors down when we returned from our day out, and clean the cups we’d left. Suspect this was an oversight but needs to be noted. Despite these points, we enjoyed our stay and especially the service and food at the bistro. The hotel is very well located, the parking arrangement is excellent and overall we loved our first ever visit to Dartmouth.

The hotel was in a wonderful position close to the town. It was a beautiful boutique quirky style hotel. We had a very peaceful stay. The bed was lovely and comfortable and the shower was great. Coffee/tea facilities available in the room. The room was spacious and overall very comfortable with suitable space to hang/store clothes etc. It was great to have a really good quality fan during our stay. Breakfast was made to order - there was a variety of options and were of excellent quality and quantity. Staff were very pleasant and helpful throughout our stay. Would definitely stay again if we visited Dartmouth.

Clean and pleasant, but overpriced Overall a decent stay. The hotel and our two rooms were spotlessly clean. However, compared to other places we stayed across South Devon (Salcombe and Kingsbridge) that same week, it didn't feel like great value for money at £190 a night. We encountered a few disappointing details in the rooms, and being forced to book breakfast with the earliest slot at 08:45 on Saturday was frustrating. Nice place, nice location, but overpriced for what it offers.
