Cherwood Hotel

The Cherwood hotel was originally built in the 1890s as a splendid gentleman's residence. Major improvements over the years have transformed the building into the popular hotel it is today. Completely refurbished during the last 3 years, the hotel now features all modern furnishings and facilities for your comfort. The attractive structure still retains much of the original style, architecture and character that this period is noted for. The end result provides a comfortable and relaxed atmosphere for your enjoyment; a wide range of facilities; a generous selection of tasty home-cooked food at very competitive prices, and a superb location for a seaside holiday.

The hotel offers safe, secure parking with 24-hour closed-circuit TV (CCTV) coverage and your own reserved parking bay for the duration of your stay. All guests have their own key and are free to come and go as they please, accessing the hotel at any time.

There is a separate, fully licensed bar offering a range of drinks and a laptop is available for guests’ use for a nominal charge.

In the children's games room, there is a Nintendo GameCube games system, with over 20 games. The kids can even bring their Nintendo Gameboy Advance and hook it into the Gamecube system.

Whatever you have planned, the generous and tasty full cooked English breakfast is a great way to start your day. Only the finest quality items and best produce are used in all of the tasty home-cooked food.

The self-service buffet-style breakfast bar offers a selection of fruit juices, plus fresh fruit, bananas, grapefruits and prunes, as well as a choice of cereals and dried fruits to sprinkle on top.

Besides the usual quality orange juice, freshly squeezed fruit juices are now available, made using the freshest fruits available.

The farmhouse-style full cooked English breakfast features lean, prime back bacon; traditional succulent pork sausages; fresh grilled tomatoes; mushrooms; a choice of egg; and baked beans; hash browns, or fried bread. Alternatively, the hotel also offers a selection of lighter options, including fresh Manx kippers, smoked haddock and poached egg and omelettes.

Guests can also enjoy white or granary toast with fresh butter or low-fat spread and a large selection of jams, marmalades and preserves, including strawberry, blackcurrant, raspberry, orange cut marmalade, and honey.

Breakfast is accompanied by unlimited tea or coffee. There is a selection of herbal and breakfast teas, including Earl Grey and Lady Grey, as well as a choice of instant or freshly ground coffee.

Vegetarian or continental breakfasts are also available as an alternative and those with special dietary needs can be accommodated by prior request.

The hotel’s separate lounge bar offers a range of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages and is a great place to relax at the end of the day. The bar has a 26-inch LCD flat-screen TV and a host of games and pastimes are available, including cards, backgammon, cribbage, dominoes, Scrabble, Connect 4, Monopoly and chess.

All of the cosy, comfortable rooms are charming and well equipped, with all the comforts and facilities you need in a restful, relaxing base. Each room is colour co-ordinated using Egyptian cotton and linen with individual bedside lighting, and a ceiling fan with 3 adjustable settings for air cooling comfort in hot summer weather.

All rooms also have a complimentary hospitality tray with biscuits, sweets and a selection of hot drinks. Every room also has a fridge, and you may drink either in your room or in the lounge/bar area. Glasses are available from the bar. All of the rooms are en suite with a shower and a selection of complimentary soaps, shampoos, conditioners, shower caps and bath and hand towels are available in the bathrooms. All rooms have DAB radios, Freeview TV, and premier rooms have twin tuner Freeview recording machines.

The hotel has one ground floor room which is suitable for guests with mobility difficulties who prefer level access (unfortunately, it is not suitable for people who require a wheelchair or aids to move around - it is only suitable for slightly infirm people).

Ideally positioned by Paignton pier and the town’s seafront, the Cherwood Hotel offers guests the convenience of being perfectly placed for all of the seaside entertainment venues, the beach and Paignton Green, where events are held throughout the summer. A 4-minute level walk in the opposite direction brings you to the town centre, Paignton’s coach and rail stations and the steam railway.
