Had to go somewhere to go any catch up work , as no WiFi, asked to be moved to different room not helpful. That was the wordy hotel I stayed in my all travel. Not able to cancelled or move to different hotel 😡.

Farewell Trecarn

I have one question for the leadership team at Britannia hotels. Have you ever stayed in any of your hotels ? I have endured a few (you do not ‘enjoy’ a Britannia hotel). The chain seems to specialise in turning potentially lovely buildings into dumps. The staff at the Trecarn were without exception incredible, welcoming and friendly, especially one chap who moved me 3 times due to rooms having leaky ceilings and severe damp. But…..I have never had a good night’s sleep at the Trecarn due to the ridiculously loud squeaky floors in the corridors, slamming doors and absence of any sound insulation between rooms. So I have probably had my last stay at the Trecarn, even though on my last stay I was actually shocked that the bathroom had been renovated and was really nice. It could be a great hotel; it’s time for leaders and managers to take a good hard look at the property and realise its potential. The staff are fantastic; it’s time to make the fabric of the hotel match them.

Adequate stay in Torquay

The Trecarn is a no frills hotel with friendly staff. It is cheap and as long as you mediate your expectations then it’s perfectly acceptable. The bed wasn’t overly comfortable but was clean with paper thin walls to the next room, and the hotel in general is very shabby and outdated. However, we paid what I consider to be a small amount for a twin room in peak season in a popular British holiday destination. Is it the Ritz? Certainly not. Is it perfectly adequate if you just need a bed for a night or two? Absolutely.

Best Budget option in the area

I travel frequently to the South West for work and generally stay here. For the price Trecarn offers a good option. The rooms and general decor is tired, but it is clean, the rooms are secure and the showers are hot and powerful. There is a bar and restaurant and there is outdoor seating when its hot. The hotel generally caters to coach holidays so it needs to meet a certain standard. There is on street parking around the hotel and there are takeaways, pubs and a tesco within a short walk. Its not luxury, but compared to the budget options in the Torquay town centre the Trecarn is miles better.
