   Verified Fantastic Hosts
Amanda and David were fantastic hosts for our 4-night stay. Nothing was too much trouble for them! From accommodating our early arrival to providing an early breakfast so that we could catch a train for our adventure to Plymouth. Our sea view room was clean and comfortable, excluding the heatwave weather during our stay. The hotel is conveniently positioned for all of Paignton's amenities and is highly recommended.

   Verified Half term break.
Had a 3 night short break. Fabulous place to stay, super location and on-site parking a bonus. Amanda and David are excellent hosts and couldn't do enough to make our stay enjoyable. Lovely clean and comfortable room, great breakfast and a nice quiet garden to relax in with a drink. Would certainly return if ever in the area again. Highly recommend.

Our third stay at The Briars where a friendly welcome awaits. (It feels home from home) David & Amanda are so accommodating to there guests individual needs & requirements & always with a smile. The rooms are spotless and breakfast is superb. The Briars seems to attract only friendly people so a chat in the dining room or in the bar can be fun or one can sit in the lounge or the patio area if you need solitude. We love the place & area & will be back soon. Karen & Melv

   Verified Ideal holiday stay
We spent 3 days at the The Briars last week and really enjoyed ourselves. Dave and Amanda are very obliging and helpful with local info. They work on the basis of ' MI CASA ES SU CASA '. The rooms were clean , the bed was comfortable and breakfast catered for everyone's taste. We wish them well for the future they deserve it.
