Top Thornicombe Hotel Reviews

Recent Reviews in Thornicombe

Royal Bath Hotel

8/10 Good

"This is our 3rd stay at this hotel as the location is ideal for us. We’ve stayed in various different rooms, always with sea view. The rooms are hit and miss, the suite we stayed in was amazing with a huge balcony to enjoy the sun, however the double sea view was very dated and the bathroom in particular needs attention. Breakfast is a decent buffet, the outdoor garden area is lovely to relax in with a drink. Staff were helpful and polite. We always park in the car park down Hinton Road it’s £6:40 for 24hours not the £28 the valet parking at the hotel or the car park in the beach front. Car park is a 5 min walk from hotel."
