I booked this weekend break as a surprise for my wife's 40th birthday. I phoned a couple of days before our arrival to make sure we got a double room and not a twin. I also informed the receptionist that it was a special occasion as other hotels we have stayed at have gone the extra mile to provide something... More

My husband & I got married at The Carlyon Bay Hotel and it was a wonderful venue. We chose the Carlyon after checking out other venues in the area and finding them overpriced and unattractive. We were shocked when we discovered how reasonably priced it was as it looked like it would be the most expensive. The staff were attentive... More

We stayed for a long weekend and found the hotel/rooms/spa clean and well appointed. Our room was fine and overlooked the sea which the photos show. All the staff we spoke were positive and polite. The hotel style is traditional but not chintzy/OTT. We didn't eat in the restaurants but had a good size burger and a decent club sandwich... More

Just returned from another great stay at the Carlyon Bay hotel. Such great value, we went for the three day break at £75 pppn a Carlyon inland double, dinner, bed and breakfast. This included a free bottle of champers on arrival, a free lunch on the day of our choosing and 25% of all spa treatments plus a free round... More

I like the very friendly and attentative service in a child free environment! First class food and service, even a disco on the Friday night. Spa was very clean, I only wish I'd pre-booked for a massage the week before! Go stay there and spoil yourself & partner! We had a nice room, champers on arrival, a completmentry Tea &... More

One of a group of family run hotels in the West Country. The staff were exceptionally helpful and seemed genuinely happy to accede to our every request. Would definitely recommend this beautiful hotel (see how we rated the hotel). Only one negative. I am teetotal and unfortunately the menu did not state that the dessert contained alcohol. As soon as... More

We booked this hotel for a special rate of £69 each BB&D and with a free room upgrade and cream tea on arrival. There was a bit of confusion over our booking - we booked over the phone to go there the following day for two nights and the receptionist we spoke to said she would e-mail us the reservation...

we enjoyed 3 fantastic days at the hotel in late october in a super room - the food was top class and the staff were hard working efficient and really friendly ( and both a street ahead of their sister hotel at saunton sands where we have stayed a lot before ) - we would thoroughly recommend staying here -...

Great location and I was upgraded to a sea view room as no doubles available at side/rear. Room was not large but well apponted and a fantastic view down the coast and out to sea. Bed roomy and comfortable and bath with very good shower. Staff freindly and helpful. Dinner was good - but not great. WiFi available but needed... More
