“Really nice bear garden to relax after a long days work, great local beers. The staff are absolutely amazing, go above and beyond. I visited on a business trip, having to leave early each day at 7am, thus missing breakfast. When the bar staff heard this, they arranged for a breakfast to go for me each morning. I thought this was a great touch, couldn’t ask for anymore. The food in the restaurant was outstanding, suck an enjoyable stay. The location has such character, floorboards creak, you name……
“We are an elderly couple & had a four hour journey through difficult weather.
A staff member happened to be outside when we arrived & unasked, helped with parking, unloaded our luggage & took it to our room. On registering we were invited to rest in the lounge, served tea & assisted with telephoning. The room was very comfortable & clean. Breakfast excellent. All the staff were well turned out, friendly & helpful. On departure our luggage was carried from our room & placed in our car. ”
“Had such a wonderful stay. I am cycling the Devon C2C and Exeter is my starting base. Ken was super helpful and let me lock my bike in a locked room. The bed is extremely comfortable and my room is lovely. The location is perfect. Would throughly recommend. ”
“Lovely experience! Our room was beautifully decorated, spacious and attractive and we had our own little balcony, which was a bonus. Great gardens for a drink or two and lots of parking on site. Delicious evening meal, which was prompt and very hot.
The staff were really pleasant and friendly, adding to an enjoyable stop over. They even provided us with some car screen wash when requested.
Would definitely come back, as this was faultless. Thanks!”
“Excellent location for starters, and the staff were very helpful and friendly. Good food and very, very clean. Only stayed 2 nights and have already booked for a week next year as we was so impressed”
“Booked a valley castle room w king bed for one night in late Sep. Room was very clean with comfy n up to date decor. Room was big enough and soundproof quality was good. Big garden surrounded hotel n we took a pleasant walk the next day. Should have stayed for one or two nights so as to enjoy swimming pool and other facilities. The historical building was well maintained. Very pleasant stay ”
“Interesting place. Really need a group of friends there to take full advantage of everything on offer from renting the whole house and private dining to having a wild party in one of the great past spaces they have created. Everything very high quality and well designed. ”
“Very good location for Exeter and South Devon. The staff, room and food were all very good, and wr liked the unusual layout of the rooms - in small blocks and all on one floor. Ample car parking. Overall great value for money”
“Excellent stay whilst attending a friends event nearby. Lovely, quirky place with bike paraphernalia dotted around. Great location near local facilities. Staff at cafe very friendly. Will definitely stay again ”
“Jo the care taker is very nice and friendly to give whatever help and advice needed for a visitor new to the place. The room is clean and in fact the whole building seems to have just been renovated.”
“Vince and Erwan were the perfect hosts, extremely friendly and accommodating, and lovely to talk to.
The room was beautiful, lots of lovely little touches (freshly baked lemon cake, pillow mist, selection of drinks and snacks in the room that you could pay extra for), everything was spotlessly clean, and the room was well appointed. Breakfast was delicious and plentiful.
We booked our stay due to a funeral, however will definitely consider Villa Marina in future for a stay under better……
“Really beautiful place with a lovely warm welcome from the hosts.
Attention to detail, comfortable bed and room in general with everything you need for a relaxing stay.
Great location 5 minutes walk from Torre railway station and 15 minutes walk from seafront and town.
Easy drive to local towns like Brixham, Dawlish, Teignmouth and about 45 mins to Plymouth.
I'd stay here again definitely. ”
