Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Royal Beacon Hotel enjoys a superb location near Exmouth's sea front, offering easy access to the beach, harbor and town, with some rooms providing nice sea views. Guests often appreciate the generously sized rooms equipped with good-sized TVs and comfortable beds. The breakfast, often described as a full English, is a highlight, served in a spacious room with pleasant views, though a few guests have mentioned concerns regarding cleanliness. The hotel is dog-friendly, and its proximity to a dog-friendly beach and a large lawn in front of the building is very convenient.

a somewhat dated stay

great locationnice viewfresh breakfastcold roombrown water
the location was quite good, really close to the beach. i had a room with a nice view of the sea from the third floor. breakfast was served to me and was hot and freshly cooked, i enjoyed it.
the room felt cold, i think. brown water came out of the shower, so i took a bath.

The sea views were amazing! the location was also perfect. we loved the breakfast. It was delicious and had so many options! the staff were so friendly and helpful.
it made it difficult to access some areas. the corridor in the downstairs courtyard block had a musty smell! parking was also a challenge. There were very few spaces available.

i found the staff friendly . the breakfast each morning was good , a lovely way to begin the day. the location was perfect , a gentle stroll to the beach, and a small detail i loved was how clean the room was when we arrived.
the television signal wasn't always reliable , it flickered a bit at times.
