I agree with some of the other reviews the hotel is outdated. Yes, they are re-furbishing some of the bedrooms and those they have done are lovely, but if you happen to get a room that isn't - well !!!! As I say I wish I'd taken my steam cleaner with me as there is limited staff for the size... more

I was looking for a cheap last minute place to stay; Richwood came up with the best price so I booked. All in all, hotel was not too bad., from the off Maxine said that work is in progress and that she was in the process of renovating the hotel. My room was average size, nothing to jump up about... more

the building is tired in appearance and when entering the main door you notice the décor is aged the staff were all helpful and friendly tho we thought it was strange being asked to pay up front on reception when we got to room 11 we immediately realized why they wanted to be paid up front the room was the... more

the only reason i would recommend this hotel is for the pool area. It has a beautiful small pool. heated but still chilly, but a nice place to be for a chill out if you are lucky enough to get nice weather.You have to pay extra if you want to use the spa pool though.

Booked the holiday with Travelstyle but as a super saver we didnt know which hotel we would be staying in but since the break only cost £120 per person we was'nt worried The Richwood was clean and comfortable Our room was spacious with modern en suite facilities and we couldnt fault the food or the hospitality of the hotel owners... more

I have walking difficulties and stayed in a ground floor bedroom which was excellent. The food was very good and all the staff were very friendly. I will certainly... more

Our party of nine hikers enjoyed our week with Nigel & Maxine at the Richwood, the food at mealtimes was delicious, packed lunches no problem. Nigel, with Josh, opened the bar anytime and were the perfect hosts.Good luck for the future, John, Wilf, Pete,Les & all the gang. more

The hotel is now run by new owners Nigel & Maxine. Nigel was very welcoming, but the lack of experience of the new owners was evident in some of the organisational aspects (for instance during serving of meals). Overall we had a reasonably good experience. The dining room/lounge areas were very pleasantly decorated. Our room was acceptable although a little... more

Having visited Torquay and nearby Paington and Brixham over the last 10 years, The Richwood Hotel is by far the friendliest, value for money hotel that I have come across. The rooms were of a high standard,all extremely comfortable, en-suite and well maintained. The hotel consists of a large guest lounge, pleasant dining area and a traditional tavern style bar,... more
