I stayed here, and you could not ask for better: the location, the attached pub and beer garden are lovely, the room was great, and reasonably priced, and the included breakfast was fantastic. One of the best places I stayed in 6 weeks travelling around the UK.

I cannot recommend this place enough, the staff and food were both amazing! Dogs are also welcome, which I love! Ample parking! Honestly ticks all boxes, for just drinks, food and drink for couples, friends and family catch ups!

The Ness was superb from start to finish, our first stay here but certainly won’t be our last! Trudi at breakfast was brilliant, a real asset to the Ness and your team, as well as the rest of the team we met. Everyone was welcoming and friendly!

Amazing location. Great staff who were polite and attentive. Got served straight away. The food arrived quickly and was very good for the price. We'll definitely be popping back. The great weather made it even better.

My other half and I had been to Teignmouth before and had seen the Ness from just over the water. We decided to go back and actually stay there this time. SO happy we did! The service was perfect, check in was easy, hospitality was second to none. Breakfast was perfect as well and we always felt very looked after. Can’t wait to go back!
