We recently returned from a 3 night stay at this lovely guest house. The rooms were really clean with a modern twist and great en-suite facilties. The little personal touches in the room like a small fridge, and well stocked tea tray were much appreciated. The location was really perfect, just a short walk down the hill to the marina... More

The hotel is clean, fresh and beautifully decorated. Our room was spacious and comfortable with everything you could need. Perfectly located for the harbour with plenty of choice for evening meals in the area. What makes the Kingsholm special is June and Carl, a couple that are friendly and welcoming, nothing seems to be too much trouble, also June has... More

This was our third short break at The Kingsholm Hotel and June and Carl were as always the perfect hosts. Our room was well equiped, spotlessly clean and very comfortable. The location is superb as you can walk to the harbour or into the main shopping area in just a few minutes. The hotel has a compact reception/bar area and... More

Stayed for 2 nights at the kingsholm Hotel 9th & 10th June 2013. Our first stay and hopefully won't be our last. The Hotel is immaculately clean. Comfortable bed, pleasant decor, friendly and helpfull hosts Carl and June. The breakfast was lovely with lots of choice. The location is perfect, 2 mins walk into harbour. Would thoroughly reccomend.

We stayed at Kingsholm for a three night stay. It was within easy walking distance of the harbour and centre and had the added bonus of it's own free parking. June and Carl were fantastic, very friendly and welcoming. We had a lovely cooked breakfast and the hotel was very clean and inviting. I would definitely recommend this hotel to... More

We stayed at The Kingsholm for one night and loved it. Our room (nr.8) was spotlessly clean, the bed was very comfortable (the pillows could be a little softer) and the view from the window was beautiful. The breakfast was delicious and fresh. June & Carl are very welcoming and extremely friendly. We loved every second at this grand house.... More

Stayed at Kingsholm for the weekend, had a great stay. Lovely and clean, well presented accommodation with friendly host's. Although only two minutes from the harbour, shops and nightlife, I didn't need to use my earplugs to sleep (always a bonus!) Great breakfast, cooked to order. Only one problem, it wasn't long enough! Many Thanks.

We have just come back from a lovely sunny bank holiday weekend in Torquay, which was enhanced by our stay at The Kingsholm. Comfortable and spotlessly clean room (room 2, beautifully decorated b.t.w) First rate facilities, fantastic breakfasts, free parking and all within a stones throw of the harbour and marina.....what more could anyone ask for? It's a pleasure to... More
