We were made really welcome and given some excellent tips for day trips and restaurants. Couldn't fault the friendliness and helpfulness of Carsten and Lee and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the hotel. When we come back to Torquay we will definitely come here again.

Lovely hotel very clean and helpful staff very enjoyable break. You may need to upgrade to slightly bigger room. Very quiet area lovely pool and breakfast was excellent. The town centre is within walking distance but slight hill on the return journey.

Stayed here for a few nights for conference recently and found it to be generally of good standard. Owners very helpful and friendly - happy to let me leave my car in the car park for whole day even after i had checked out. Rooms are ok, bit small but reasonably kitted out with nice shower etc. breakfast very nice... More

A lovely laid back vibe, great breakfast, and it's almost... More

We were in town for a weekend conference and had decided to make a week of it to spend time and enjoy what Torquay had to offer. We were made very welcome and our room was clean and tidy with bath/shower. If we were staying for any length of time in our room we would have found it to be... More

We were very warmly welcomed by the hosts Franz and Lee at this jem of a wee unpretentious hotel in Torquay. Our rooms were well appointed and very comfortable, the breakfasts were well presented and excellently cooked. The bar is well stocked and with comfortable seats to lounge in whilst having ones nightcap. I would certainly recommend it to all... More

A very clean, well presented and most obliging hotel we have ever stayed. Nothing was too much trouble and anything they could do to make your stay better was achieved with great speed and efficiency not seen in the larger chains. Excellent food and a very friendly service again with the customer in mind and not "get them out as... More
