We chose this hotel for it's location Westward Ho! The seaside small town is ideally located on the North Devon Coast. Has the most amazing stretch of beach. The hotel was clean, our room had a view of the sea. A good restaurant and bar, for those needing a little recreation there is a games room . Staff very attentive professional.

The room and ensuite were excellent and the staff were friendly. The catering was ok but nothing special and overall it was rather expensive for what was basically a very large pub. I selected it for its location being close to the golf club.

Stayed here for a couple of nights over a long weekend and was very impressed. The rooms are very nice, clean and well decorated, accessed via a small flight of stairs around the back, away from any noise of the pub main building. Plenty of guest car parking, very good food and drinks at decent prices and friendly helpful staff. would stay here again and recommend to others. Excellent choice form the breakfast menu and it was all good.

It was all very good, we asked for a chair for the room and got one straight away. Towels were changed every day and it was all very clean. All staff friendly and helpful. Breakfast was excellent, plenty to eat, all served fresh. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Waterfront Inn, the only thing I will mention is that we thought we were staying in Bideford, not realising the Hotel was in Westward Ho but it wasn't a problem.

Positives about the inn: It's in a good location, the staff were very nice and helpful, the room itself was nice, and decent amount of parking. Negatives: It's a noisy area, boy racers drive down the road all night long, the inn itself is a pub so it closes at 11pm but it's still rowdy afterward and people turn up from taxis at all hours of the night. Our room didn't have AC or a fan, so it was uncomfortably warm and having the window open meant tons of noise from outside. The walls are also thin so could hear the other visitors pretty clearly up all night chatting and laughing. Additionally I had booked this room because it had a view of the ocean but it had a much better view of all the scaffolding around the windows.

The Waterfront is a 2 minute walk from the sea. Not quite overlooking it but almost. We had a deluxe double and it was spacious, clean and well equipped. The bed was very comfy. We had skylights which kept the room and large bathroom lovely and bright. There’s an extensive restaurant and bar within the hotel, which looks like you’d never have trouble getting a table, although we didn’t use it during our stay. The breakfast was included and was superb, especially the vegan one. The staff were very cheerful and willing to help, especially one particular staff member who was doing the breakfasts during our stay. The manager was also extremely willing to come and sort out a small query we had in our room. We would definitely recommend this place and will probably go back.

We arrived at a really busy time over Xmas and I was surprised the manager immediately took us up to our room rather than just hand us the keys. The food was excellent and the service top notch. The location right by the beach is amazing and so easy to get anywhere you need to be. The breakfast in the morning was again top notch and the coffee was delicious A big thank you to everyone at The Waterfront Inn and I hope to stay again in the summer
