Francesca B.
The upstairs rooms are the weak point. Most haven't been refurbished, and some may pick up an unpleasant noise from the kitchen below. Still, I would recommend the hotel to anyone who doesn't mind a less modern, less globalised style. Its setting above Babbacombe Beach is privileged, and it has a long history of style and splendour. Downstairs is still fabulous. The dining room feels like a movie set, and breakfast there is an experience: the waiters work in a clear hierarchy, the jam comes in bowls, and the room looks out over a lovely park while a pianist entertains guests.

The billionaire owner and developer wants to knock down the old hotel and replace it with an exclusive five-star hotel, with scenic views for guests paying over £100 a night, plus up to 40 family homes beside 'ANSTY'S COVE'. To me, that would ruin a naturally scenic cove that's 400 million years old. The whole complex could bring up to 4,000 people a day, including staff, guests and householders with children and dogs, along with utility vehicles, more sewage and rubbish, and a need for extra policing. Where would the five-star hotel and very quiet golf course go, as the 'Queen Mother' might have asked? There are poor, starving people in Asia and homeless, poverty-stricken people in Torquay. 'THE PALACE HOTEL'... 'HUMBUGS'... I also wonder what happened to the old portrait of the regal 'QUEEN MOTHER' that used to be the centrepiece of the downstairs 'lounge' wall.

The breakfast was outstanding, the staff were brilliant, and the swimming pool was great. A brilliant stay.
