Lovely place to stay in central easy to walk location

Great location for exploring Torquay and getting to the coast path, lovely pool although a little cold!!

Have to pay extra to use the hot tub - didn’t see anyone using it!

Wonderful!

Breakfast was lovely cooked with good produce. Rooms were clean and tidy, bathroom was immaculately clean! Our room could have been slightly bigger as four of us but to be honest it didn’t really matter as we were out all day exploring! Great hosts!

Spacioas Room

Fantastic hosts and room (room 6). There was a nice view from the window and the bed was comfortable. Nice shower and overall the building was well put together. Spacioas room with high ceilings throughout the building. I didn’t use the pool but it seemed well maintained. My wife forgot some items of clothing and the hosts were nice enough to keep them safe and post them to me.

I liked the area, but there are parts of the most direct route to Torquay Beach which weren't always the nicest to walk through. I am however from the countryside and tolerance of the bad points of towns is low so take this comment with a pinch of salt.

Disappointed

cleanliness and the hosting couple seem nice, especially the husband, very sweet and apologetic.

Room size and discomfort, poor arrangment: Window can only open 1 cm, no space to put our bags or any surfaces for our wash bags or other belongings, all our stuff was spread on the floor, no hangers or hooks, only one rail for one towel, we kept the rest of the towels on the bathroom door handle and our bed and shift them from one place to another. The wardrobe is tiny and the door can not open fully as the bed was in the way, neither can the toilet door as it hit the toilet. We have to squeeze ourselves to use either of them.This room is not suted for two people (especially two adults) due to the small size and is not good for renting, due to poor fixing and arrangment. Without the breakfast and with this quality of room £360 for three nights is not justified. We were offered bigger room for an extra pay but we didn't think we have to pay extra as the cost of the room we stayed was overpriced and we were not prepare to spend any more on the accomodation. We left a day earlier as we were struggling to have a good stay and sleep.

Great holiday , no complaints and the weather was a bonus too

We didn’t have breakfast whilst there but the option was available if we had wanted it . Biggest selling point was the swimming pool my daughter loved it . We also enjoyed playing pool and darts in the games room . Location was good as was a short walk into town and to the beach

Perfect in every sense :)

Last minute decision on Friday evening to head to Torquay, The purple tree was a perfect stay from the moment we arrived (Arrived close to midnight -Debbie waited up for us!) Just lovely, our breakfast on Saturday morning was delicious thank you very much David :) We throughly enjoyed our stay and so did Parker our fur baby - We walked into town throughout our stay but there is a bus stop outside the purple tree that takes you right into the harbour, the outdoor pool was appreciated after a full day in Torbay, a great 2 night stay, we will definitely be back - wouldn't consider staying anywhere else now we have stayed here - See you soon, Emma and Colin x

Perfect just the way it is.

Very good

The pool was wonderful. The breakfast was delicious. Hosts were fantastic, and enjoyed looking at the glass, we would have booked a workshop in the studio if we had more time.

The location was a long walk to restaurants but an easy drive out to visit local area.

Really lovely trip, would highly recommend.

The hotel was beautiful and the owners were really friendly. Breakfast was lovely, with lots of choice. The pool area was great too and we spent a lot of time lounging on the sun beds reading. The games room was also a lovely extra.

We stayed in the compact double which was a little small for us as we’re both quite tall, but we knew it was a small room going in so just a heads up for others really. The bathroom also doesn’t have a proper door but owners are looking to improve this area.

A great place to stay

Our family have enjoyed our stay and had a brilliant time. A clean, tidy and friendly guest house that had everything and more. The location is great and only a short walk away from the beach, restaurants and shops. Would definitely recommend and also book again.

Slight confusion at the start as to how to get in and had to wait a while to be greeted. A small mishap that was understandable and other than that, everything else was great.
