Mariners Hotel

Lovely small hotel right across from the seawall. We didn't score a waterfront room but had a comfy room on the back with plenty of space. Able to open windows and hear the seagulls. It was a tad warm with just a small fan the first night but not too bad. Bed managed to be soft in a comfy way--not in a saggy way. My back felt fine for a nice hike! We arrived late after what was for us Yanks a harrowing drive on tiny roads on tge "wrong" side and without having had dinner, but our amazing hosts kept the bistro open in order to serve us a delicious meal. Thank you SO much. They also serve a nice made to order breakfast! Yum. We could have stayed longer--but in true American style we had oversheduled ourselves!

I was thoroughly impressed with my stay at the Mariners Hotel in Seaton. The location is unbeatable – directly on the seafront with stunning views over Lyme Bay. It’s perfect for coastal walks or simply relaxing and watching the waves. The rooms are modern, spotlessly clean, and well-equipped. I especially appreciated the peaceful atmosphere, the high-quality beds, and the daily housekeeping. The Wi-Fi was reliable, and thoughtful touches like a welcome tray with tea and coffee made a difference. Breakfast exceeded expectations – freshly cooked, with a good variety, and all dietary needs were accommodated without any fuss. The evening bistro meals were of excellent quality, although it’s worth noting that dinner isn’t served every night – so plan ahead. The hosts, Lisa and Dean, were genuinely friendly and attentive. No artificial hospitality – just honest, down-to-earth care for their guests. All in all, this is a quiet, well-maintained place with a personal touch and great attention to detail. If you’re looking to avoid the typical tourist crowds but still want comfort and quality, Mariners is a top choice.

Stayed for 2 nights for a weekend break, wish I could have stayed longer! Location is superb, with view over beach to the sea. Very close to town centre, five minute walk to Seaton tramway and other attractions. Very quiet in room. Hosts are friendly, chatty, and hard working to ensure your stay is enjoyable. Food is very good, breakfasts are cooked to perfection. I would highly recommend this hotel if you are looking for a friendly, relaxing seaside break.
