Overall Good
Good Hotel, Decent family room for 3. Only stayed for a night. Hot breakfast took ages to arrive, if they could fix that I'd give 5 stars.
Hotel looks a bit dated.

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

Enjoyable stay in a pleasant location
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.

better than last time
Previous concerns regarding this property were slightly improved by the attention given by the staff to the previous comments, so less of a poor rating
we avoided breakfast due to the coach parties as this has previously lead to poor service experience.

Nice stay
We enjoy the pool when we arrived. That was really nice after a long journey travelling to Devon. The hotel is in a beautiful location and a short drive to Torquay and Teignmouth. Plenty parking. Breakfast was very good but a bit slow with hot food orders. The hotel was full and they didn’t have enough staff to serve/ replenish food, which was a shame. Overall we had a very good stay and I would go back again.

Location 11/10
11/10 for the location. Great views and direct access to a lovely walk into Newton Abbott. Large carpark, leisure facilities were good. What let us down was the breakfast on the first morning. Got sat down then forgotten about. When we did eventually get our traditional English order the hash-brown was mouth burning but the rest of the plate stone cold! However the next day had an Eggs Benedict and it was fine so we won't be put off staying again.

A great location
Enjoyed 3 nights here in July 2025. The location is great - a quiet spot at the head of the Teign with river and countryside views, plenty of bird life on the mud flats and reeds. It’s a short drive into Teignmouth or Sheldon and not far to other resorts such as Dawlish, Torquay, Babbacombe and Paignton.
There is an indoor pool and sauna plus a spa offering various massage treatments.
The staff were all very helpful.
Would definitely stay here again.
