Built next to the 17th century inn on the banks of the Teign estuary, this accommodation offers a modern, comfortable atmosphere whether staying for business or pleasure. There has been a hostelry on the site since Roman times. It was the site of a tidal ford and travellers would arrive and wait to cross the river. The hostelry became known as the passage way across the river, and this is still reflected in its current name. There are 6 function and conference rooms, a business centre, holiday apartments and extensive car parking. A total of 90 rooms are on offer. The hotel features a lobby, bar and a restaurant.

The hotel is conveniently positioned between Exeter, Torquay and Plymouth, providing superb access to the surrounding countryside, moors and local towns. Situated on the banks of the River Teign, this accommodation has the ideal location to offer a peaceful and relaxing break whilst being in easy reach of the West Country's cities and towns. The railway station is situated around 2.5 km from the hotel and the beach is some 8.3 km away. Exeter International Airport is situated at a distance of approximately 30 km, Plymouth City Airport some 59 km, Bristol Airport around 129 km and Bournemouth Airport about 161 km.

For coffee and that informal meeting, the Vue terrace and conservatory offers stunning views of the estuary.
