    No dislikes, sorry.

    Certainly appreciated the fact Ashwood Grange happily caters for solo travellers with a realistic tariff. Perfect for business trips, working stop overs and, in my case, leisure. Claire the host is such a vibrant lady and clearly nothing is going to be a problem, with so many years experience, with her husband, as Hoteliers. My initial impression was that the decor was tired, but that perception very quickly turned into 'homely'. Everything is in keeping with the building and maintenance is clearly important to the owners. All is decorated to a good standard and crucially important, it is spotlessly clean. Faultless! The breakfast is gorgeous and my special request for Earl Grey tea (and plenty of it, thank you) was warmly provided and greatly appreciated. The location of Ashwood is on one of the access roads into town, as so many are, so be mindful if you are sensitive to slight road noises. I would expect the rooms facing over the valley to be better in this respect. Although Ashwood appears to be on the outskirts of town, in reality, the walk to the seafront is quicker and shorter than you would expect. Admittedly, going back will feel a little longer! There is a bus stop close by, if you are so inclined. During my three night stay, it was unusually quiet at Ashwood and indeed everywhere else in Torquay from what I noticed. The weather has been miserable for so long, but surely the 2024 summer season can't be that far away. I would suggest any weather in Torquay, is better than any weather at home. Highly recommend.

    The only minor issue that I had, during my stay, was that the water pressure in the shower was not great but this was not a major problem and would not put me off booking again.

    I really enjoyed my stay at Ashwood Grange. Clare provided a wonderful service and was really attentive. I would absolutely recommend staying here and if I am ever visiting Torquay again, I will make sure to check if Ashwood Grange is available.

    The property was spotlessly clean, warm, well equipped & comfortable. I must apologise to Clare & Stuart's son who let me in early on Sunday when I locked myself outside while packing my car to leave!

    No much to not like. The positives far outweigh the negatives. Lock on my bedroom door was iffy and life expired. Parking in their car park might be tricky for a driver like me if full, as on a steep slope. Fortunately it was empty!

    I have stayed in a lot of B & B/ Guest House type accommodation over the past few years and this was probably my favourite. It sets the bar high. Price was very reasonable out of season (March), even for Room 2 (a double). I am used to poky single rooms as a solo traveller. There is a lovely lounge with a great view. Quite an upmarket ambience, with high Victorian ceilings. Very clean and well maintained. The owners (Claire and Stuart) are lovely, helpful, friendly people. I have never had more attentive service at breakfast. A short walk from Torre railway station. Very helpful when I struggled to access the internet.

    Some noise from the main road, although this did not spoil my stay and the owners made me aware of this before my arrival.

    Clearly a very well run B & B. Nicely decorated rooms, extremely clean and comfortable, cleaned daily. Would happily stay again. Good communication with the owners. Situated on a busy road, but convenient for a regular bus service or walk into Torquay town centre which is approximately 20 minutes away, mostly downhill. Breakfast available but didn't take. A nice little balcony on the back of the accommodation, available for all guests, where you can eat if required. Parking no problems.

    No complaints, really. I suppose the wooden board at the foot of the bed might be an issue for very tall people, but I'm only 5ft8 so no problem.

    Comfortable bed. Good shower/facilities. No excess heat pumping out, unlike most guest houses. Tea bags replaced daily - small things matter! Friendly host offered helpful advice on arrival. Decent location - quiet, on regular 12 bus route, 3-minute walk to Torre station, 15-minute walk down to seafront.

Very welcoming, good information around things to do/visit. Very pleasant at breakfast and couldn’t do enough for you, making sure you had enough of everything.
