The Briars, home from home
Accomodation fantastic, location fantastic, food you couldn't want for better, the vicinity to the beach, harbour or town no more than 10 minutes walk maximum. The hosts were unbelievable, nothing was too much for them, will definitely be going back.

Friendly hosts, lovely breakfast..
Very welcoming and friendly hosts. Poor wi fi reception. Shower poor water flow. Very clean room, lovely touches such as mints and good selection of hot drinks. Good breakfast , lovely fresh fruit and tasty cooked breakfast, could have extended the time of breakfast to a little later.

Excellence en 6 lettres : Briars
Nous ne sommes pas restés bien longtemps, mais ces 3 jours furent bien assez pour voir que le service était excellent, à la limite du parfait (on ne capte pas le wifi depuis le dernier étage). L’accueil était des plus chaleureux et les propriétaires sont aux petits soins pour les clients.

Quiet, comfy and welcoming
I had a three night stay at The Briars in a single room (the middle window on the 1st floor) with a view over the promenade to the bay and pier. There is an en-suite toilet/wash basin and you have the exclusive use of a stand-alone shower-room which is just round the corner on the landing, which was very good indeed. The room was spotless, very comfortable and the bed was great - I slept like a log! A nice touch was a bottle of water in the room and this was refillable from the water cooler in the hall - ice cold! Hosts Malcolm and Mandy were lovely and very welcoming. I enjoyed their breakfasts, there's plenty to choose from and the full English was excellent. My room was tidied every day and anything I'd used was refreshed or replaced, so it was a joy to come back in the evening. It's a nice hotel, very close to some nice places to eat and only a short walk to the centre of Paignton, the beach, marina, etc. I'd stay there again in a flash.
