"Excellent stay in Torquay"

10.0

Peter and Helen were extremely friendly and accommodating. Room was excellent in size, comfort and cleanliness. Couldn't really fault the room at all. Location is excellent with a short walk to superb eateries, bars and the harbour. Breakfast was excellent with a huge selection of pastries, fruits, cereals, yogurts, fresh honey and more along with an excellent cooked breakfast. Peter, Helen and staff were amazing hosts in the morning and nothing was too much trouble. All in all, if I was to visit Torquay again I would definitely check here first for availability especially as a couple.

Nothing comes to mind.
