The views across the bay from our room were terrific, the food was good, room was spotless and comfortable, ensuite modern. What really made our stay though was the friendliness and helpfulness of the hard working staff.

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.

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.

Great place!

Lovely place to stay, we’ve stayed here a few times and will do again. The food in the restaurant is excellent and great value. The room (that we had) is small but has everything you could need and a comfy bed. Staff are really friendly.

Staff were fantastic and the food was superb. Very generous portions too. Breakfast included in price meant the overall price was excellent value. 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. Would happily recommend to anyone.

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.
