Lovely host and great deco

Reviewed By Polly L

We stayed for one night and had a lovely time there. The hosts were very warm, welcoming, ensuring a face to face check in to go through details and remember our names. The interior design is very tasteful and great breakfast options (recommend the home made yogurt) plus the honesty bar. Thank you for hosting a lovely stay.

Fabulous breakfast with an extensive choice. Great location, just a short walk to the Abbey grounds and the seafront.

Reviewed By scrumpykid

We recently stayed here for two nights and were absolutely delighted with everything. The guest house is beautiful, very clean and modern. The rooms are very spacious, the bed very comfortable and everything is though of. There are tea and coffee making facilities and every little detail is thought of, from a hairdryer, to every toiletry you can think of, to a bottle opener! There is every option for breakfast, but we had the full English which was very tasty. The owners are very friendly and welcoming and lovely to talk to. It is very well located, it's close to the train station and the town. We will definitely return there and would highly recommend a stay here.

Another great stay

Reviewed By brummiebird_10

Just back from another stay at the Devon Court. Martin and Kyra are the most accommodating hosts and the quality of their offering is excellent. I’ve stayed in 5* hotels that haven’t offered a level of quality anywhere nears theirs. Rooms are spotless, have tea trays, fans and toiletries. They even have bathrobes and slippers. Breakfast is excellent and there is free parking. If you like to swim, the oil area has had a lot of investment and is now very modernised, with comfortable loungers and lovely private garden and terrace. The pics on trip advisor are out of date! Thank you for another excellent stay and hope to see you soon

A great cooked breakfast is available. The restaurant is all freshly cooked and locally sourced where possible. Great local Real Ales and excellent quality soft drinks and Wine is served too. Brilliant location on the English Riviera. A Steam Railway next door and Golf Course across the road.

Not been here for years and not disappointed.

Reviewed By TimboBoy

I have not been to The Railway for a number of years since it was The Weary Ploughman. Couple of changes in ownership and we decided to pay a visit. Ample parking that’s chargeable to some extent, so check out the signage and tell staff you’ve parked. There’s a device to log your vehicle for free parking which is completely reasonable since next door is the Paignton Dartmouth Steam Railway station. It was really quiet when my daughter and I visited as the Torbay Airshow was on and that always seems to create a vacuum in the surrounding area. Good wide range of menu with some Specials and a childrens menu for the 10s and under. We both opted for the cod and chips and were not disappointed. Great crispy battered cod, chips, side salad and tartare sauce with mushy peas. Ample portion really and came out in a reasonable time. Staff helpful and chatty. Shame it was so quiet for a summer Saturday afternoon. They also have half a dozen rooms with reasonable rates. Might not compare directly with the chain hotels but this is a pub/hotel in a quiet area, on a main bus route close to Brixham - where there’s little or no parking, and easy access to the rest of the Bay. The steam railway feet away will give you access to Kingswear and Dartmouth as well as Paignton, so is quite a viable hostelry as a base for a few days and to leave the car. Well worth a visit.
