John and Jane are fabulous hosts. Hotel is of the highest standard and in a great location. Can't wait to make a return visit.

Alan United Kingdom

Lovely location and only a short stroll to lots of different eateries - e.g. Chinese, Thai, Indian and Italian. Beautiful Meadfoot Bay is just at the bottom of the road. Very clean and comfortable room, tasty breakfast and we enjoyed spending time in the hotel bar. Very handy for Torquay town centre and the marina and the many waterfront cafes.

Janice United Kingdom

Very friendly and attentive, lovely breakfast with local ingredients. Comfortable beds and spotlessly clean!

Paul United Kingdom

Excellent. Friendly staff, well decorated and maintained hotel. Clearly showed a concern for Covid and had amended check-in/breakfast etc to suit. Would highly recommend to others and would stay again.

Alister United Kingdom

Very clean and helpful staff Breakfast freshly cooked to order definitely worth getting up for

Nicola United Kingdom

John and Jane were great made us feel at home very nice couple. Breakfast was superb!! Location spot on to town centre 5 to 10 min walk . Room was very clean with everything you require. Hotel and Gardens absolutely lovely would highly recommend we will be going back.

Jons United Kingdom

John and Jane were excellent hosts making us feel very welcome The breakfasts were outstanding and nothing was too much trouble There was enough parking for all guests and we were welcomed in to a pot of tea with cake! We had a lovely king sized bed

Michael United Kingdom

The hotel is just a short walk from the town centre. A slight incline in the road does favour people with no mobility issues, but Torquay is quite hilly anyway. Easy and free onsite parking. Hosts were very welcoming and friendly. Tea and cake on arrival...lovely! We were upgraded from our small double and had a view over the lovely garden. The room was a nice size, the bed comfy and the ensuite shower room was well laid out. Breakfast was lovely and the cooked breakfast was cooked to order. Although we didn't use the bar it is a nice addition, giving an option for a relaxing bottle of wine in comfortable surroundings.

Ken United Kingdom

Great location, really short walk to harbour front, shops and bars.

Karl United Kingdom

John and Jane were very friendly and excellent hosts the hotel and room met our expectations
