An excellent hotel close to the beach. The owners were both lovely people who made me feel very welcome, and were always ready and willing to help with anything.
Strongly recommended.

Lovely and cosy and felt so safe as everyone was so friendly and the breakfasts were so amazing and only a 30 second walk to the beach and pier. Amazing!

Breakfast excellent with good choices. Very well cooked and attentively presented
Nothing we didn’t like

The breakfast was excellent. There was a choice of cereal, fruit, yoghurt as well as a full English breakfast. The rooms were spotlessly clean and the bed was comfortable. The hotel was full but there was little noise. I recommend it as good value for money. Dave and Amanda were excellent hosts.
There were no faults with the hotel. Paignton town centre would benefit from a facelift but its location on the south coast is ideal. The beaches , especially Goodrington were ideal for families. There were toilet facilities, Sun lounger/ deckchairs or beach huts could be hired on a daily basis.

I never eat breakfast but people did say how good it is and I overheard several compliments to the hosts about the meals.
I had a single room which was very spacious.
Nothing could improve on the holiday I had there.

Room 9 has a wonderful view over the bay. Everything was spotless. The owners were very friendly. Breakfast was freshly cooked and tasty. Plenty of lights in the room (often not the case in hotels) and three chairs (again, often chairs are rather lacking in other establishments). Parking is available.
Water pressure in the shower wasn’t great, perhaps because we were on the top floor. The en-suite was on the small side. But these aren’t major issues.

Amanda and Dave were incredible hosts. You can tell they really care about the guests and the guest experience. We were even given a lovely Easter surprise! I will definitely be back.
10.0
Breakfast was varied and always excellent. Although room was on the top floor, we had a perfect view over the bay. I'm sure this would not have been achieved on a lower floor. An ideal base to visit local attractions.
Could not find fault with anything. Any slight negative was outweighed by a positive. Room at front with traffic at peak times, view of sea front and bay just perfect.

Breakfast was cooked exactly how I requested it and there was plenty of choice and plenty of everything. Service was 10/10 and we did not have to wait for more tea or coffee etc as they were refilled quickly. Mandy and Malcolm were exceptional hosts and put you at ease immediately! A really lovely couple!
Nothing!

The breakfast was superb - there was a special on every day in addition to the normal types of breakfast. Every course was served to our table. We found the personal attention was exceptional and nothing was too much trouble. The hotel was perfectly situated between the harbour and the esplanade. Malcolm & Mandy were perfect hosts and I would recommend The Briars for a perfect holiday.

The property was perfectly placed just off the seafront, the room was clean and comfortable with a sea view. Lovely, plentiful breakfast. The owners Mandy & Malcolm were both lovely, very welcoming and friendly and nothing was too much trouble for them. We would return and definitely recommend to our friends.

8.0
The breakfasts were amazing, excellently cooked by Mandy and brilliantly served by Malcom. Mandy and Malcom were wonderful hosts, nothing was too much trouble. The room was comfy and very clean with plenty of tea/coffee and especially milk (which we never seem to get enough of) The situation of this B & B is brilliant for exploring and definitely make use of the stagecoach bus service.
We did not like Paignton and the weather was awful but this was certainly not the hosts fault. Bathroom was a tad small but adequate.

Very good especially a special on menu each day
