Rooms are kept spotless and beautifully presented, with thoughtful touches such as fresh milk and bathrobes provided as standard. Beyond the restaurant and bar, the property offers free WiFi, a garden to relax in, luggage storage, and free on-site parking for those arriving by car.

A perfect stay and weekend away in Torquay. Kim and Trev were absolutely amazing, catering for all of our needs (check in, parking, dietary requirements). Kim and Trev created a friendly atmosphere and personalised stay. Breakfast was fantastic, excellent choice. The location was superb. Easy walk to the beach, train station, restaurants and cafes. Will definitely return!

We were made very welcome on arrival. Beautiful and clean rooms, very cozy lounge and bar, and great hosts. Amazing breakfasts, proper home-cooked to order. We would 100% stay here again when in the area. Lovely homemade scones for our onward journey. Thanks chris & liz

We were made extremely welcome, everything was spotlessly clean and in good condition. The bed was comfortable and the room was lovely and warm. The fridge was well stocked with milk, jams and bottled water. Breakfast was a feast, fresh fruit, full English, scrambled egg, or anything else you wanted. Kim and Trevor are the perfect hosts, nothing is too much trouble for them. This is our third visit and we wouldn't stay anywhere else in Torquay, thank you to both of you. This post is made on behalf of Steve and Val from Far Forest as they do not have a mobile phone.

This is the best Bed & Breakfast we have stayed in. The room (1) was tastefully decorated and the bathroom was top class workmanship. A lot of thought has gone into servicing guests such as fresh milk in your room,bath robes,iron and board, a small fridge with bottles of water. The owners Trev and Kim were so helpful plus the breakfast was fantastic with a varied menu to suit everyone. The location was near Torre Abbey and only a 15 minute walk to retaurants of which I can recommend St Pierres and Vito lounge. If visiting Torquay this is the place to stay.
