Take the best features from a grand Victorian villa such as the high ceilings and fireplaces then add contemporary furnishings and colours. Hot Sunday afternoons are fantastic around the pool, really nice pool scene here and it gets very busy, a mix of ages and types. Not tried Sauna but Toms cruise bar is also nice - pleasantly seedy! When I sat in the garden last week enjoying a cold beer I overheard some boys staying, saying how nice it was - and lets face it we are a difficult bunch to please. This place thoroughly deserves to succeed.

The single room I had was bigger than I expected and in extent, better and nicer equipped. At the third day, I thought about writing this review and began looking for mistakes or room for improvement - and when my USB-internet paid its debt to nature and I asked for internet cafés, they set up a router and WiFi. A word about the building: It is just beautiful and in a great location in a small street that ends with the gates to a very nice park. I visited Paignton to take english lessons in a school that turned out to be round the corner. I prolongued my stay for another week because I found the lessons very helpful - and I had the perfect accommodation to very reasonable week rates. Whenever I go back to Paignton or make a tour through Devon, I will definetely stay at The Clydesdale's again.

This is good reliable budget accommodation, with a decent…read morelocation above the town. The rooms are a bit small so if you are one of those surprisingly common travellers who take their cat with them on holiday and write winging reviews online about not being able to swing it then maybe this is not the place for you. Room size is generally not a problem for me as long as a bed fits in the room! The Saffer who served us our full English with a lot of cheer and humour was a top bloke.

We were in room number 1 that overlooked the parking lot. The room itself is small yet equipped with a double bed, night tables, wardrobe, desk and chair. There's not a lot of room to move around... especially in the bathroom. I should note, there's no lift so if you've got a bit of luggage, consider staying on the first floor (which is only two flights of stairs). I will say, I was surprised by the breakfast which was included with our room. I expected a continental breakfast, which there was (and a quite extensive one at that) but it also included a full hot breakfast too. So while we ordered our Full English we were invited to help ourselves to the buffet. The selection was fresh and with such a wide variety, there was definitely something for everyone. I'm only knocking it down half a star because, even through I did book a compact room, it was way smaller than I had anticipated, however, the room was clean and the dining room, sunroom and pool area absolutely beautiful. I would definitely stay here again... just in a bigger room. :) 4.5 stars.

Highly recommended. Enjoyed a very pleasant week here…read more Very clean and well maintained hotel with an excellent breakfast.
