- Niamh (10/5): - Beautiful, comfy, room to the highest standards, as soon as I walked in the door I felt at home.
- Pam (9/5): - Just about everything The shower was a bit half hearted
- Stephen (10/5): Very good owners were very helpful would recommend it to anyone - Near to town and bus stop good tv room Shower not very powerful
- Miriam (8/5): - Close to town and shops. Free cake and biscuits, delicious. Steep steps to front.
- Sue (10/5): Very close 2 where i needed 2go - The breakfast was very nice Chris & Teìja is very helpful ppl & willing 2 do anything 4 u Nothing as everything was perfect
- Laura (9/5): Fab value stay in Torquay - The free cakes and fresh milk was a lovely touch. The staff were friendly and everything was comfortable and clearly labelled. Really close to town centre, just a few mins stroll Bathroom was on the small side
- Mark (10/5): Chris was very polite and sorted out a booking error I made hassle free. - Great location, stayed here while attending a gig at the Arena, clean, close to the strip and breakfast was very good.
- Raymond (9/5): -
- Laura (8/5): - Great place to stay while working over at Theatre Clwyd. Warm room, comfy bed, good shower.
- Katie (10/5): Comfy, calm and very clean! - Clean, easy and friendly check in and lovely room. Perfect for a solo traveller. Very easy entry too with key fob. All brilliant. Warm room (in winter!) but fan and heater both in room if you required. Quiet and calm area. Nothing !
- Abhilash (9/5): Kingsholm has very thoughtful and kind hosts. - Chris was very helpful at my arrival and departure. They had available in the main entrance: fresh milk in a fridge, very nice biscuits, cake and fruit, this was all much appreciated. I stayed in room 5 which was a good size with a large bed. A couple of minutes down the road from Kingsholm is a very good Thai restaurant called Junjaow. Kingsholm is close enough to the city centre to walk there in a few minutes but far enough for it to be quiet. Be careful of room 6 which is extremely small with a tiny bed.
- Amanda Anna (10/5): A serendipity trove, tranquility in the coming winter. - My stay was an absolute delight. Teija and Chris are extremely attentive and hospitable, clearly by nature and not for marketing reasons. The room was immaculate, spotlessly clean, and equipped with everything a guest could need. An experience I will repeat soon. I don't have any negative remarks.
- David (8/5): -
- John-Paul (10/5): -
- Julia (10/5): A lovely stay in a lovely house, with lovely hosts set in a great location. - I am a mature single lady traveller, instantly I felt really comfortable and safe here.. The owners were really helpful prior to me arriving, good communication and let me know of local activities, transport etc., just really friendly and really helpful re parking. The house & room was really clean and comfortable., and I liked the trust of an honesty table for snacks and drinks, also the option of taking real milk to your room is a bonus, (I really do not like longlife milk) I really don't think there was anything I didn't like.
- David (10/5): Great price, great location, great service. Everything you would want when staying in Torquay! - The perfect hosts, kind and professional, going above and beyond to ensure comfort and satisfaction. The location is wonderful, close to everything but also in a quiet location in this city, which can be noisy in spots. The cookies and milk at a lovely and thoughtful touch! My particular room was small but clean and comfortable, offering the amenities expected, and a notably very comfortable bed. I will definitely stay again every time I visit Torquay!
- Diana (10/5): - I stayed at Kingsholm Guest House as a solo traveller and had a truly wonderful experience. Everything was spotlessly clean, and the bathroom facilities were excellent. The location is perfect – close to the seafront and the town centre, making it easy to explore Torquay on foot. Breakfast was absolutely delicious, with the option to choose exactly what and how much you’d like – a great personal touch. Cris and Teija were incredibly friendly and welcoming hosts, which made my stay even more enjoyable. I highly recommend Kingsholm Guest House to anyone looking for a comfortable and well-located place to stay in Torquay.
- Vieve (10/5): Amazing value for the price. Attentive host, great breakfast. - A choice of breakfasts: £10 extra for the full English, £5 extra for 'continental'. Fridge in the room. Water and cans and free real milk in fridge downstairs, also free cake and biscuits. Host and service excellent.

- Guest (10/5): Excellent, would definitely stay again. - Brilliant friendly staff, nothing was too much trouble for them. Great selection of teas and appreciated having the choice of hot chocolate in the room as well as tea and coffee. Breakfast made with quality products from local butchers. Room was quite small, it was a bit of a struggle with the proximity of the bed to the bathroom door.
- Karla (9/5): Would stay again - Friendly helpful staff, cake and biscuits nice touch. Was upgraded to a very nice room with beautiful view and large bay windows. Plenty of toiletries. Nice to have a fan and mini fridge in the room. Could hear people in other rooms. TV was located in an awkward place to see it

- Angela (8/5): Very good -
- Michael (10/5): A very relaxing and enjoyable experience at the Kingsholm Hotel - We didn’t have breakfast at the hotel but the dining room looked very inviting and attractive. Everything was provided for, including toiletries, a kettle for making tea, coffee and hot chocolate, the owner even supplied chocolate biscuits and cake for you to take to your room at no extra cost. A large television was in the room and a fan was provided. The hotel is nicely decorated and very clean. The owners were friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend the Kingsholm Hotel. The only downside was that the hotel is located on a hillside which makes it difficult for people with reduced mobility to access the hotel.
- Alan (9/5): Extremely good value and friendly host - More than excellent ( breakfast). Did not eat again until 7.15pm! Almost in centre of town and by the harbour.
- David (10/5): When visiting Torquay you definitely need to stay at Kingsholm Guest House. You will love it! - The location was perfect for my needs. The bed and pillows were very comfortable and the room was very clean. The bathroom was very clean and the shower had great water pressure. I was greeted by Chris and he was very polite and friendly. They had a delicious plate of cookies and cake for their guests and fresh milk to go with the desserts. I highly recommend Kingsholm Guest House for anyone traveling to Torquay. The only thing I didn’t like was that I didn’t get to stay a bit longer. Next time I will definitely stay longer and try their breakfast. I hear they serve a delicious breakfast.
