I was made to feel very welcome on arrival at the Thornhill and every time we returned. The breakfast menu covered all tastes and preferences. My only problem was that we had a room on the top floor and, because of my disability, I struggled to get to my room. This was not the fault of the hotel or staff, but my own. If I go again, I will make sure to book the ground floor room.

Lovely staff, very clean and welcoming. We got a fairly small room being at short notice but the beds were comfortable if a little softer than we are used to and we slept really well. Decent breakfast too and right next to the beach.

Even though the weather was not that good, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay with our dog as well, very friendly and lovely breakfasts. Did lots of walking with our dog, went on the beach and paddled in the sea, i think our dog had a lovely time as well, Teignmouth is very dog friendly.

The only drawback at the Thornhill is the lack of car parking. You have to use an overnight car park which is a short distance away. Absolutely wonderful breakfast and very accommodating staff.

Although it was immaculate,and comfortable, the room was extremely small - listed as a double there was less than 9" between the foot of the bed and a wall and only 2' either side -this was caused by part of the room taken up into a small en suite. In my opinion, it would have been impossible and cramped with two people in there. No off-road parking racked up a tariff of £27 per day +a parking fine from an over jealous warden! VERY expensive parking experience!
