We were very pleased that we didn't book a chain hotel, their service was fantastic! The rooms are beautifully finished with a personal touch, we loved the mirrored wall in our room. Breakfast was incredible, and Aidan was really helpful with tips on local places to go etc. We'll definitely come back
We had a very enjoyable stay in our campervan through Brit Stops. Aidan was very accomodating, nothing was to much trouble. We enjoyed a lovely breakfast, my daughter especially loved Aidans homemade pancakes! Thank you for having us. Laura, Steve, Grace, Emily and Ruby
Lovely stay here in our campervan. Allowed us to park up and use facilities - shower and toilet. Gated driveway to garden which was great for our dog. Dog friendly inside and outside. Lovely breakfast served, and very kindly provided an extra sausage during breakfast for our dog! Great location. Very much enjoyed our stay! Thank you!
Stayed at Earlston House for two nights over the Riviera Airshow weekend and will definitely return! Mij and Aidan cannot do enough for their guests and, even though we were officially booked out on Sunday morning, kindly let us leave our car parked where it was so that we could enjoy the Airshow for the rest of the day. Beautifully cooked breakfasts and a wonderfully comfortable bed in a really spacious room (no 3) made our stay even more enjoyable. A nice touch is the constant provision of fresh milk in a mini fridge, situated on the middle landing. I particularly loved that each bedroom has been artistically decorated by Mij and the colours in ours made a perfect home for the Hares .
A 7-minute walk from the South West Coast Path, this family-run Victorian hotel is 10 minutes' walk from Paignton railway station, and 1.7 miles from Paignton Zoo.
