Like many hotels in Paignton in the Roundham conservation area, Amber House was originally a Victorian villa.

We are entirely non-smoking. so if you do smoke please be aware that you cannot smoke in the garden and you may be more comfortable at a hotel with a designated smoking area. We are licensed, focussed on customer comfort and care and are in a quiet location in Roundham, Paignton overlooking Goodrington Sands.

GRADING: For 2008 Visit Britain (who award the star ratings after inspection) has changed the grading categories and many former small hotels like ourselves are no longer able to call ourselves "hotel"  and be graded in the guest accommodation category. You will see that 4 star hotels are now all the very large hotels, internationally owned hotels and hotels belonging to chains such as Best Western Hotels and Hilton hotels.  An establishment such as ours which we formerly called Amber House Hotel obviously cannot compete with the likes of those large hotels in terms of facilities and we would therfore never be graded as a four star hotel in the hotel category.  But guests who are still looking for four star standards but in a small place that offers special personal attention from the owners will need to look in Guest Accommodation from 2008. We have therefore decided to call ourselves Amber House and like many former small hotels in the same position have been graded in the Guest Accommodation category.  We have received  Four Stars and a Silver Award in this category which is  "awarded to Guest Accommodation for demonstrating exceptional quality of service, hospitality, bedrooms, bathrooms, food and cleanliness and a high overall percentage score". (Visit Britain Grading Policy 2007)

CAR OR CAR-LESS Guests benefit from a large free car park but for those without a car you have proximity to good local transport throughout The English Riviera, Torbay and Devon.

BRILLIANT LOCATION :  Paignton station is five minutes by taxi. Amber House is well-situated for the beach - Goodrington Sands is a few minutes pleasant stroll away as are Paignton (Roundham) harbour, The Dartmouth Steam Railway and Young's Park, the South West Coast Path and Quay West Water Park. Dartmoor is 35mins by car.  You can walk to Paignton town and Paignton Beach within ten minutes to enjoy shopping, cinema and facilities for families.

BEDROOMS: include ground floor rooms and two with shower baths. Six rooms have garden/sea views. You can book a romantic break or the whole ground floor wing for extended family groups or those with teenagers who require own rooms. See our chart, photos and tariffsby clicking on Room Rates above.

EXTRA FACILITIES:

  • DVD players and either Freeview or Satellite TV in all rooms.
  • Some bedrooms have wi-fi internet access
  • A computer room.
  • Two new premier bedrooms (2007) with sea-views and bathrooms with shower/baths (BAY VIEW & TALL SHIPS) for that touch of luxury.

We offer quality food and are experienced in catering for coeliacs. We offer evening meals, packed lunches and fill flasks for walkers.

For bookings that include DOGS  ring the hotel direct do not go through on-line booking.

We think Amber House is suitable for:

Non-smokers:

Couples: A quiet area of Paignton.  You can stroll after dinner along the beach and headland or walk to restaurants and pubs if you want to eat out.

Families: Ideally situated on Roundham Head between Paignton Beach and Goodrington and withih easy walking distance of many family activites and with easy access to other Devon attractions and theme parks. We welcome families with well-behaved children but we do not have facilities for those under two years of age.

Walkers: Easy strolls or long-distance footpaths such as The South West Coast Path, Dartmoor and South Hams district of Devon are all within easy striking distance of the hotel.

Touring by Car: Here in Paignton you are well-placed for exploring the rest of Devon by day trips from the hotel. Like everywhere in Torbay and Paignton parking at your accommodation is an important issue to consider. We are lucky to have a large free car-park at the hotel.

Those looking for Sailing accommodation in Paignton:  We are only a few minutes from the Harbour.

Water Sports Enthusiasts: Learn to dive at local sub-aqua centres, Sea-kaying: room in our car park for your kayaks, wind-surfing only minutes away, sailing, boat trips 

Those requiring evening meals. Those with special dietary needs: coeliacs, vegetarian, dairy- free etc

Those travelling by public transport: regular bus services throughout the bay and Devon. Paignton train station and Paignton bus station within 10 minute walk. Coach trips and boat trips and steam train trips.

Golfers: There are several golf clubs and courses nearby

Those with limited mobility as we have ground floor bedrooms  - unfortunately though not with doorways wide-enough for wheelchairs. We have level access from the carpark and the dining room is also on the ground floor. For our Access Statement please click here.

Dog owners: many happy dog holidays spent here.  Dog-friendly park and beach.

Parrots: (Not a joke- really!) We have had a parrot stay  - very well-behaved! And her family brought her back for another holiday this April (08).  She said she had a great time. But sorry no elephants!

We wish you all happy holidays here.
