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.

Good stay, great staff

Lovely staff and location. Special early Sunday breakfast laid on for us as we were in a cycling event- great gesture! Some of the decor is now dating and tiring a little, especially the corridors with heavier use. The gym area with aerobic equipment is carpeted and a bit smelly… maybe a new non-carpet floor? I’m being picky though! Overall a good experience

I upgraded to a deluxe room with a balcony and it was a lovely large space. Overlooking the River Teign. Staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Food excellent.

Perfectly fine stay

We had a good stay. The was nice and roomy but just very hot - the window could only be tilted a tiny bit and there was a small fan provided - which didn’t provide much relief. They really should be fitted with A/c’s given a nights stay isn’t cheap. Staff were all lovely. We used the pool which we had all to ourselves. Breakfast was fine. Had expected a buffet but it was to order. Would’ve expected some cheese & cold meats options as well. The location is very pretty and the pub next door is lovely directly set by the river.

We spent a long weekend at the Passage House Hotel. We stayed in a deluxe double room with balcony on the top floor room, which is a must. The room and facilities were fantastic. The staff were lovely and very helpful. Big shout out to Beth who was so helpful to us with any questions we had. Definitely going to stay there again. Mark from Southampton
