Hotel in an excellent location for coastal and woodland walking with a regular bus service to other holiday locations nearby. Friendly staff provided a great service in the bar and restaurant which had a varied menu. We intend returning to this location.

Excellent stay

The staff were fantastic. Nothing was too much trouble, for them. The food was great and portions were massive. We could not finish our food. The only downside and we meant to say, before we left, but shower rod was quite loose.

Clean and fresh room with sea view. Plenty of space for adults and 3 kids and 2 dogs! Although I have a dog I could smell that the room allows dogs, maybe needs airing or room spray more often. Nice new bathroom suite but height not adjustable abd I'm short! Lovely food and brought to room because late in the evening for my youngest. Staff were helpful and friendly at every turn. Back door for evening use but able to use to unload our car. Quite narrow so a larger access would be good but really it was very helpful. I would definitely go again and it was affordable through the App.

Horrendous

I couldn’t stay at the hotel and left to go to another property. Filthy, damp, broken bed, holes on the walls. I have asked for a refund and documented all the issues. Yet to get any answer via Hotels.com as yet. AWFUL

Overnight stay

Pleasant helpful staff, at check in and breakfast. We did not have an evening meal. We booked a sea view double room. The view was the highlight for us. The room was a good size, with a decent bathroom. An electric shower, so not as powerful as a rainfall shower. Tea, coffee, hot chocolate and bottled water provided- with the largest mugs we’ve ever had in a hotel room.A good selection of cooked breakfast choices along with cereal and juices that you helped yourself to.

If you are looking for 4 or 5* ratings then the Waterford Arms isn't for you. If you want honest, no frills accommodation with wonderful staff and great food then you're onto a winner. We had a great stay and when the area had a power cut on a fully booked restaurant on Saturday night the staff were amazing. Despite a considerable loss of income they kept smiling and coped very well. Seaton Sluice itself is very popular at the weekend. Not surprising really as it is very picturesque. We would be happy to return.

Staff were fantastic and the food was superb. Very generous portions too. Breakfast included in price meant the overall price was excellent value. Location is great and the views to the beach lovely (plus beach was easy walking distance). Room was basic but had everything needed. Whole place had a friendly and relaxed vibe from start of our stay to the end. Would happily recommend to anyone.
