When we arrived we were told our room was no longer available due to a 'maintenance issue' so had to book somewhere else at the last minute. The lady that we spoke to was nice and did say they had tried to contact us during the day about the situation. However, checking the message we found in Expedia, it was only sent an hour before we arrived late afternoon. Not helpful when you are driving long distance. Might be a one off but, obviously, have to score the hotel low in this instance.

Absolutely amazing staff, went above and beyond.
When my car wouldn’t start they purchased jump leads to get me started, and ensured I got back on the road asap. Shelley bent over backwards and couldn’t be more helpful.
I would highly recommend staying at The Waterford.

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.

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.

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.

No breakfast!

Breakfast didn't start until nine, despite being told I could get some. The door was looked to the bar, so no way to get any breakfast. Not good for people needing to get to work. I missed breakfast on both mornings. Mattress not good, room basic.

This is a lovely old inn overlooking the ocean. Our room was big, bright, and very comfortable with two windows looking out over the ocean and village. The bathroom was a bit tired, but that is to be expected in an old building. The staff were absolutely wonderful! Breakfast isn’t served until 9 and we had to leave by 8, so the chef quickly made us up two breakfast sandwiches for the road.

I have stayed here 3 times now and loved every stay. Staff are so friendly and helpful. We were able to take our little dog who had a great time on the beach which is practically outide the door.
The only suggestion i could make to improve the experience is that the bedroom we stayed in needs a bit of redecoration to the ceiling.
Apart from that a brilliant, restful break with tasty and delicious menu choices.
Thanks guys x

Hotel was perfect location, food very good and staff very helpful and friendly. Hotel in need of updating but stay was comfortable and perfectly adequate for price paid. The main disappointment for us was that breakfast didn’t start service until 9am on a weekday which just wasn’t suitable for us so we wouldn’t return on that basis.

Great location

Good sized room with a sea view and all amenities. Comfortable double bed, tea and coffee making facilities and biscuits. Everywhere was clean if a bit tired. The electric shower was temperamental but usable. The food choices were excellent and well cooked. I can recommend the sea food linguini, it was delicious. We had breakfast both mornings and again the choice was better than we have had in other places we have stayed and freshly cooked to order.
On the down side, the pubic areas could do with a refurb as the seating is very worn. I feel I have to say something about the rear exit to the parking, it was dirty an unkempt,
did not give a good impression of the place when using to get in or out
Three of the beers/largers were off and there was no prosecco on offer. Not sure if there is a stock problem or they had run out. The staff were great, very pleasant and helpfull. Overall we enjoyed our stay but not sure if we would go back.

Great little get away

We decided to book a little night away for the bank holiday & stumbled across the Waterford arms, we took advantage of their half board offer and are so glad we did! Both our evening meal & breakfast were delicious & the portions are HUGE! We booked a sea view king room, the room was lovely & clean & had everything we needed for our stay & looked out across the little harbour. The staff were so friendly and helpful & really made the stay perfect! Would highly recommend!!

Just OK stay in a lovely hotel

Checked in 45 minutes early girl on the desk was rude told us we had to pay for early check-in we refused as the hotel was empty asked if the room was ready she spoke to manager who then said we could check in this is. Lovely brand new hotel our stay was for 2 weeks she put us in the smallest room they had with a window so small you could not see out of after checking there was only 2 rooms of this type if u were staying over night no problem but they should seen we were there for the 2 weeks a window would been nice the girl who check us in was off for the first week but on her return we said good morning to her and she could not reply but I can say the other girls were fine and a lovely young lady very short hair I think kirsty was attentive and when we asked she changed the bed after 8 days I do think this should been done anyway also no hoovering of the room in the full two weeks we were there overall such a nice hotel spoilt by a few minor things. We travel a lot and have worked in hotels trade you need a new receptionist kisrty on the other you could not fault

Would we go again? Possibly

We stayed one night. The staff were great, friendly welcoming and cheery. The room on first impressions was great once we got the radiators working.
The food In the restaurant was very good value, delicious and plenty of it.
The bed had to be the most uncomfortable I have ever slept in with springs sticking into me at every turn.
In the morning a welcome hot shower was marred by the mould dropping off the shower hose and no bath mat or anywhere to put my soap. There was however plenty of room in the bathroom and plenty of places to hang towels etc.
Breakfast was good with plenty of choice.
When we checked out we were not asked if everything had been ok. We mentioned that the radiators needed bleeding.
