The Trecarn Hotel

The Trecarn Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"We were in a more modern but still old part of the hotel. So it wasn't in absolutely top condition, but it was extremely affordable for us and very comfortable. Being older, it had very large windows (at least the room we were in, which was almost a corner room so had windows over more than one aspect). The hotel is very friendly and clean, and we enjoyed out stay. We noticed live entertainment each evening, but we had been active during the day and didn't sit in, but the acts sounded pretty good. Because there were coach tours during our stay, most evenings we had to park on the street. We never had any problem finding a park and the roads there are quiet. If you are needing to use a bus, there is a bus stop very close. This is the bus that takes you to Teignmouth and beyond, many all the way to Exeter. Overall we certainly will return if we are unable to use our normal Teignmouth accommodation."

"For what we paid, this was excellent value for money. The room was a little dated, but perfectly comfortable and the bathroom has been returned very nicely. Really helpful staff, super clean room and breakfast was relatively basic, but had several options and was plentiful. It doesn't have many frills.....but you are paying a no frills price. Wouldn't hesitate to stay there again"
