Beautiful hidden gem full of history and character! 

My stay was a surprise from my hubby, I was blown away by this venue. It’s beautiful, full of character and the history is amazing! 

Our room was beautiful with a stunning 4 poster bed, a lovely bathroom and plenty of storage. 

We arrived around 7pm, the bar was busy but wasn’t loud and we were served by a very friendly young man. We were checked in and taken to our room. We popped out to get something to eat (told in advance the kitchen was shut during our stay). Came back and headed to our room.

Lovely comfortable bed and had a really good nights sleep. Didn’t experience any of the noises complained about in other reviews and to be honest, I would have expected some noise given the age of the property. 

Breakfast was in the most amazing dining room, the lady serving breakfast was friendly and couldn’t do enough for us. We were expecting a continental breakfast given the kitchen closure warning but we were delighted with a full English! Delicious food and served quickly. 

Check-out was simple, served again by another friendly member of staff. 

The grounds are stunning and I encourage you to research the history of this amazing property. 

We will definitely be back - Thank you

Beautiful hidden gem full of history and character!

Hadn't looked at any photos of hotel so was a liitle shocked at the decor...but I love history so was spellbound! Very historical superbly laid out hotel.impossible to be spotless due to age and condition of obvious real antiques...breakfast lovely well cooked fresh & hot..lovely attentive lady serving..room tidy comfy & spacious. en-suite huge..only complaint heating was hit & miss..local folklaw & resident ghost was NOT a myth...enjoyed it very much and for price was great.

The rumoured ghosts did acknowledge our presence.

I previously stayed here a few times pre covid and was good
This stay was bad, hotel needs re furnishing and cleaning
From check in where they couldn’t  give a me a receipt and told me 1 would be ready for when I departed
Asked about food in evening either in bar or restaurant and was told we don’t do food anymore
Room ok but not great
Breakfast was a joke
Got down at 8.30 and took 15 minutes for any staff to come out, no menu and was told they did full English
Bacon, egg, sausage, black pudding, hash brown, tomato and beans (sounded good), ordered full with no tomato
and toast, a few minutes later they asked had I ordered tea of coffee and no one has asked
They only had on display a few packs or cereal and orange juice and some yogurt, no other juice or water and lurpack but no butter
Breakfast turned up about 15 minutes later missing hash browns and black pudding but with tomato
Finished and then toast arrived
Went to get my receipt and not done (note had been left)
Took another 10 minutes to get one done a word document
Will not stay here again

Bad poor rubbish

On arrival massive sign saying “under new management” 

I ask how old is the sign? Because if this new management oh dear god!

Such a beautiful property falling into disarray it seems there is no love left for a building of this character. 

On pulling into the car park it appeared to be fairly busy with lots of cars. The car park seemed to have endless bottle of wine and cans of beers scattered around. Made me wonder if the bins were maybe stored in the car park but I couldn’t see any.

Walked into the bar area to go check in as instructed by the sign at the door. To be greeted with an over whelming stench of cigarettes when I entered the bar area. Two ladies serving and full bar of what appeared to be the local swearing generation of men!

I was greeted by the lady no name or introduction given. Disappointing! I was Shown to the room and advised about heating would come on at 9pm, breakfast and late returning. All seemed okay. Returned to the car to collect luggage and entered the room, further inspection of the room showed it was an array of colours, curtains stained and hanging of the end. Tea tray covered in stains, empty wine bottle on top of the wardrobe, draws dusty and the beds was so lumpy and with a dip in the middle. Not wanting to waste the good weather headed straight out for a dog walk to eldberry cove. 

Returned to freshen up before heading out for dinner, to find the shower head was so old and needed descaling only half the holes were working. When we returned after a pleasant evening, we fancied a drink in the bar. Hoping the smell of fags and the large louts had moved on we thought we’d give it a try.

The bar was very chilled and I went to order fro the bar, another lady this time. I ordered a non alcoholic beer to be presented with a cider when there was clearly becks blue in the fridge. On telling the bar lady I was ignored. For myself a gin and slimline tonic. Yet repeatedly kept trying to give me Mediterranean. No apology from the bar staff. Couldn’t drink the cider was wanted a NON alcoholic beer! £12 later went to bed!

Incredibly noisy night, either ghosts or they have something very wrong with the pipes in the building. Arrived down for an early breakfast to be greeted by no one. By 8.20 a car pulled into the car park at top speed with one can assume the chef rushing in. I think we spooked her when she came to setup breakfast. Very kindly served us before the waiter arrived. Food was nothing to special and as the restaurant filled we could hear various complaints. The most disappointing was the state of the waiter when he arrived. No hairnet apron or smart uniform. Must have just strolled out of bed!

Overall the place needs some serious staff training, investment and TLC. 

It would be such a shame to see it close down.

New management?

Reading other reviews on here should’ve put me off, but I went anyway, and we’re glad we did. People and staff were 2nd to none. Great place, great breakfast, superb, ok, it’s a little run down, but it’s older than gods dog, so I don’t really know what people expect. Loved our stay, and would recommend to anyone. 👍🏻

Great getaway

We visited today for a quiet Sunday drink. I’ve never quite seen anything like it in a pub.

Screaming kids inside which I understand belonged to the bartender. They were sat at the bar (illegal to start with) and were shouting the place down. Countless tables left shortly after coming in. 

One child almost fell off a barstool which was alarming and they then started licking the beer pumps across the bar…

We left.

This is a pub, not a crèche.

Children’s playground or pub?

We stayed at the Churston Court Hotel for one night on Saturday 23rd April 2022.
The check in was simple and we were shown to our room and was very pleased with the room.
Nice size room and very clean and tidy.
We spent the evening in the bar and all the staff were extremely friendly and helpful.
The following morning, the full English breakfast was superb.
I have read earlier reviews running the hotel down but, we have nothing but praise for the Hotel.
Set in a lovely area, you couldn’t ask for anything better.

Wonderful Hotel

Alex Polizzi’s review of the Churston Court about 3 years was full of negatives. Three years on and I reckon those negatives that Alex pointed out can be multiplied several times over.
We visited for a family gathering today (Easter Sunday) at lunchtime for drinks. 
I’m afraid there are not enough suitable words in the English language to describe the utter awfulness of this place.
The service was lamentable at the bar, beer dreadful, 2 ‘real’ ales on - Jail Ale & Doom Bar - both undrinkable, the place was dirty filthy both inside and out, a broken water feature outside had stagnant, putrid looking water in it that looked a distinct health hazard, the whole outside of the building and outside area in general is in desperate need of some sort of renovation, could barely have a conversation for the sound of barking dogs and this place wants to charge top prices. 
I have no idea who now owns or runs this place but, as Alex Polizzi said when she visited, it’s an absolute crying shame that this once fantastic, ancient and historical hostelry is in the appalling state it is.

Unbelievably bad

If you're looking for a perfect boutique hotel, this is not it. But if you want good rooms and comfy beds, a good cooked breakfast, and pleasant and helpful staff, all for a reasonable  price in a good location, this is it! There was no chef when we we there, but Brixham has top quality fish restaurants. The cooked breakfast was good, but the  cereals were very limited. The bathroom showers looked great, but there was little hot water or water pressure. We stayed 2 nights, but although all the staff were helpful, we never saw anyone who looked like a manager or owner. It had a very neglected and run down air. So a 2 night stay was fine, but be aware what you're letting yourself in for!

Quirky

Lovely hotel and very accommodating staff. We have stayed here a few times before and it was just as good this time. Very welcoming to us and our little dog, breakfast was lovely and in particular the mushrooms were gorgeous! Thank you so much, we’ll come again soon :)
