Outstanding accommodation

Sarah & Marc met us as we arrived with a drink & a chat to welcome us. The room with en-suite was beautifully decorated, clean & quiet. The breakfast menu was very varied with fruit, cereals, juice etc to start, and a varied menu with plenty of choice for the main course, beautifully cooked. Would highly recommend. Thank you both for a lovely stay

September short break

Even before we arrived we were advised that our room was ready so could check in early. On arrival we were greeted and offered a hot drink. The service and friendliness of the hosts was exceptional. We cannot recommend this hotel highly enough and will definitely use it for future trips to Paignton.

We got a lovely warm welcome with coffee and a friendly chat on arrival. Our luggage was taken up to our room for us. The room was spotless and very comfy. The choice of breakfast was superb and the host was a great cook. The location is great with it being just over five to walk to the town and the train station. We will definitely use this guest house again if back in the area.

Ideal guest house

We received a nice personal welcome by Graham. Coffee served on arrival whilst he took our cases to our room. We filled in a form for our breakfast needs for the following morning and the time we would like to eat . Our room had a TV Bosch coffee machine and kettle. The refreshments were replenished daily didn't need to ask for extra of anything. Bathroom had female personal items just in case it was needed. I loved the big soft bath towels too. Breakfast was cooked to perfection and ample. Car parking facilities was ideal. Paignton beach was just a 5minutes walk away. All in all and ideal place to stay.
The landing ceiling, so unusual.

A gem of a place

What a gem of a hotel, only 6 bedrooms. Arrived and got offered a drink, thats a first for me. I had a single room which was a perfect size. There is a mention of toiletries but so much more than usual. Breakfast was ordered the day before and for covid reasons there were time slots that you could choose from. Breakfast was excellent

stop over bike tour

Highly recommend the Ambassador Hotel based on the excellent service from Lesley and Graham. They will look after you beautifully but also not be ontop of you. The room was an excellent size and very clean. There was a fridge with cold drinks when we arrived on a hot day. The bed was declared very comfortable by my husband and i loved the walk in shower, i would like one in my own home. Breakfast was excellent. The owners were very considerate of covid regulations and i felt safe in their space. The hotel is within walking distance of the beach and the town centre, very convenient. We found out useful that the small car park also had hooks to secure the bikes to. Thank you for our stay
