The Hotel Balmoral was a lovely place to stay, eat and drink and we were very fortunate that the weather was very good too making this feel like a real holiday.

The staff were universally friendly, polite and helpful and the food choices were very good. Sitting in the lovely garden with glimpses of the sea through the trees on a sunny day with a nice cold drink in hand was about as good as it gets.

We stayed in a cosy double and would upgrade to a premium room next time as is not much more and gives more space. Our room was advertised as ‘cosy’ though so I can’t pick fault there. Devon has much to shout about and for us Hotel Balmoral is one of those things. We’ll be back.
