We had a very pleasant stay and the owners were very friendly and accommodating.

The room was very pleasant and kept very clean with fresh towels each day. The room had some useful extra's such as tea/coffee and clean glasses with a fridge, so we could have chilled wine in our room if we chose. The breakfasts were excellent and always served on time and with a smile.

Not really applicable.

Nick and Chen were really welcoming and couldn't do enough to make our stay as pleasant as possible. Excellent breakfast, large room with seating area and fridge.

Very steep driveway, so hard work for those with mobility issues.

Amazing Hotel, Just Perfect!!

Room was lovely, very clean and you had everything you needed. Room was serviced with fresh towels, water and fresh milk. Perfect location for the bars and restaurants. Amazing breakfast. The owners were so lovely couldn't do enough for you, hotel has free WiFi and parking. Will 100% be retuning in the future.

The amount of steps but we knew this when we booked. We needed the exercise after all the food we ate over the weekend 😂

Lovely comfortable room, exceptional cleanliness, good quality in room accessories; tea/coffee etc & bathroom toiletries. Good quality breakfast, cooked very well by Nick and served impeccably by Chen.

Water pressure on the shower was lacking but plenty of hot water available. Position of tv was awkward to view if lying on the bed. Hardly a deal breaker to detract from an excellent stay.

Thoroughly enjoyable

I liked pretty well everything, but especially the lovely internal aspects of the house and the top class hospitality of the proprietors.

For me the only shortcoming was the time of breakfast. At 08.30, this was a little too late for me to make more of the morning ahead.

Came as guests. Left as friends.

The hotel is near to the town centre and there is a regular bus service that runs all along the coast a few minutes walk away. We received a warm from hosts. Our room was well equipped and was very comfortable.

There was nothing we disliked. The car park is up a steep drive and there are a lot of steps up to the property but the owners can do little about this because like a lot of Torquay the hotel is on the side of a hill. There was a good choice for breakfast although there was no fruit apart from juices on the menu. I'm confident however our hosts would have provided it if we had asked.

Would thoroughly recommend stopping at the hotel

Beautifully spacious and immaculately clean room in a hotel full of character. Nick and Chen, the owners couldn't do enough for you. Breakfasts were very good.

No radio or background music at breakfast that made eating breakfast a little awkward as sometimes it was silent.

Fantastic place run by a lovely couple.

A beautiful old building decorated to a high standard. Lovely room. Nick and Chen were fantastic, nothing was too much trouble for them. Fantastic freshly cooked breakfast every morning. Definitely recommend anyone to go here.

Only one small observation, there wasn't a full length mirror.
