We were made very welcome by Simon and Diane, they couldn't too much for us. The room was very nice, and the bed very comfortable, breakfast was very good too. We played the 'four in a bed' game and gave 10 out of 10 for everything. Would have no hesitation staying again.

My husband and I were very fortunate to find the Daylesford by chance. Simon and Dianne could not have done more for us, giving us lots of local information and made our stay extremely enjoyable.Our room was very tastefully presented and spotlessly clean. Hopefully we will have the opportunity to return and would definitely recommend a stay at the Daylesford.

From the moment we walked through the door, to the time we were going home, what an enjoyable experience! Simon and Dianne couldn't do enough for us, however were not intrusive which is always a bonus! The room was very comfortable, spotlessly clean, with good quality linens and fluffy towels. Location wise it was perfect, being a level walk to... More

I have just returned from a 4 night stay with my 80 year old mother, who is disabled. Simon and Dianne went out of their way to make us welcome and comfortable, providing a room on the ground floor with a walk in shower. The awards for breakfasts are well deserved - a particularly favourite was the scrambled egg and... More

We have just returned home after a wonderful overnight stay at The Daylesford. Simon and Dianne are the most charming hosts, we received such a very warm welcome, which felt like they welcoming us as friends into their absolutely beautiful home. We cannot fault this place, from the very comfortable bed to the superb breakfast, a first class experience all... More

My spouse and I were very, very fortunate to book 2 rooms (...he snores sometimes, hence the separate rooms) for 4 nights at the lovely Daylesford in Torquay from half a world away in Toronto (Whitby, Ontario), Canada, in September, 2010. The Daylesford certainly lived up to its professional website presentation and more. On arrival, we were greeted with a... More

We clearly state that we are a guest house, not a hotel. To run a higher quality, award-winning guest house involves an enormous amount of time, effort and investment. Our pricing pro rata is exceedingly fair. Further, as is obvious from reviews, the vast majority of guests rate our guest house highly and return frequently. More

This person seems to have serious problems. He has never stayed at our guest house and despite our polite cancellation request, sent us abusive, threatening, foul-languaged e-mails, hence the police being fully aware of the situation. More
