Stayed in a twin room for a 2 night stop in Paignton for a hen night. Yvonne was very accommodating with regards to our outrageously late arrival (after midnight!) due to a late start from London. Fresh, clean room, comfy bed, tasteful decor, safe parking and awesome breakfasts with real coffee served in a cafetiere. Would recommend.

We found the hotel to be clean, friendly and well run.Our room was spacious and well maintained. And the breakfast was the best I... More

We stayed for 3 nights over a very cold, wet and windy Easter weekend. We arrived a good 2 hours before we were meant to check in but Mark was very welcoming and let us check in early as the room was ready. There is parking out front for about 4 cars. Our room was simple, clean, tastefully decorated and... More

Arrived on Thursday in pouring rain, Yvonne offered us the option of a coffee delivered to our room as we changed out of our wet weather gear. This was to be typical of our short stay. Excellent service coupled with first class knowledge and advice re local facilities. Also, the breakfasts were superb - great choice plus excellent cooking and... More

A clean, friendly and well run B&B. Splendid breakfasts, Marks poached eggs should win an award. And a friendly very well mannered dog. We have recommended the place to friends, which we normally don't. Mark & Yvonne are cheerful and helpful and make the stay that more pleasant.

The Ambassador is close to all local points of interest. It is clean and up to date with a good standard of fixtures and fittings. Wifi actually works in rooms not just limited to the foyer. The owners will point you in right direction for local things to do etc. Mark & Yvonne are a down to earth couple who... More
