We stayed two weekends, 23rd and 30th
The staff were very good at their job. When we were staying above incredibly volatile and inebriated guests on the first weekend, it was dealt with quickly. Unfortunately the next night another guest set off the fire alarm at 1am.
The second weekend was faultless- thoughtful guests same excellent staff
Clientelle interesting, staff incredibly professional and kind.
Under refurb, so slightly odd vibe, the price was very good because of it.
Close to beautiful countryside, Tors, Buckfast etc
Not into pubs but there is one right next door for those who like pub grub and booze- we didnt try it
Location secluded yet convenient
Enjoyed the stay, bed comfy and delicious breakfast

Breakfast was excellent with quality and quantity of food.
A superb location but the premises could do with some external maintenance investment to smarten it up.

The location is fabulous with views across the estuary and wading birds. Also there is a walk alongside the estuary to a nature reserve.

No facilitys working I.E pool gym very disappointing was not told of this when booked they said they emailed me i asked to see this email, as i didint get one they couldint show me never saw the manager was misold this trip by Expedia who should of contacted me as well apart from that all good.
I have stayed at the Passage House a few times as family members and grandchildren live within walking distance. I have always found the staff friendly and professional. The room was spacious and although the facilities are a little tired and dated it was comfortable enough. Breakfast was good and hearty with plenty of choice. For the first time I walked into Newton Abbot along the river footpath which meant I could leave the car at the hotel which was definitely a bonus for a day at the races.

3* hotel at moment
Standard 3* hotel, all was very nice it's just coming to stage where some things need updating eg bath/shower was tiny to point that shower curtain couldn't stop clinging and the shower was didn't have enough power
As said, all nice enough and staff are very friendly
Overall, very good slightly dated decor could’ve done with a handrail in the shower couldn’t,get kettle in the sink to refill it, bedroom nice quiet room comfortable bed.
