We were so welcomed by Raj & Manju, who even moved their car for us to park in their space. The room was lovely and big, with everything we needed. The location was ideal as it was close to one of the main hubs but far enough away from the crowds. Breakfast was lovely and cooked with love.

We try to make everyone's stay as enjoyable and stress free as possible. The reason we chose to purchase the Ravenswood to launch our new business is its proximity to all you need cafe's, restaurant's bar's and lovely walks. We put the customer first and try to make all stays the best experience possible. With lots to do on the doorstep there is something for everyone.

Ravenswood is situated on the edge of the town centre, within 5 - 10 minutes walk of bars, restaurants, cafes, shops and harbour. For the more adventurous the harbour offers a wide range of water sports and fishing opportunities, the miles of beach and the beauty of the cliff walks along the South West costal path provide stunning views. Torquay is a town of choice to suit each individual’s needs.
