"The staff were friendly and welcoming. The room was nicely appointed with modern furnishings and a very comfortable bed. Nice up to date bathroom which was very clean. There was some road noise but only in the day time and the view of the sea made up for that. Good food in both the restaurant and bar. Overall we highly rate The Devon hotel and are keen to stay there again."
