Guest Reviews
- Adrian (8/5): Good location and easy to get around. Met our expectations - The owner was very friendly and available when needed. Breakfast was very good
- Kelly (7/5): -
- Christopher (10/5): Great time at purple tree guest house - The pool was a great addition to the purple tree Perhaps could have been closer to the main part of town harbour and restaurants but there are bus stops nearby for the not so able bodied
- Spike (9/5): -
- Mirela (10/5): - Everything was good, but it would have been even more perfect if we had had the opportunity to eat lunch and dinner at the property, otherwise you have to order from somewhere else or go to the restaurant every time you are hungry.
- Terry (8/5): -
- ROBERT BRIAN (9/5): - The hosts were lovely and made sure our stay was great Nothing to dislike
- Liz (9/5): -
- Juta (9/5): - Friendly host, lovely homely atmosphere and pool!!! Absolutely loved our time, kids were obsessed with pool✨
- Rama Mohana Rao (10/5): -
- Gary (10/5): Great long weekend in Devon. - Room was spacious, clean and comfortable. Hosts, Ian and Deb were amazing and very helpful. Breakfast was fantastic with the best poached eggs ever. Nice pool and hot tub and an inexpensive bar. Bit too far for me to walk into town.
- Sarah (10/5): Lovely hosts. Great property local to Torquay town centre - The pool was an amazing addition and we spent hours in the evening playing and chilling in it Nothing
- Sonia (9/5): Superb -
- Arturo (10/5): Wonderful place! - Our stay at The Purple Tree Guest House was nothing short of perfect, and it's all thanks to the incredible hospitality and wonderful setting. From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed and looked after.
The standout of our visit was the exceptional customer service from our host, Ian and Debs. He truly goes above and beyond to make his guests feel special. I had secretly planned to have some surprise flowers waiting in our room, and they handled the request flawlessly, helping to make a special moment even more memorable. His attentiveness and genuine care are what set this place apart.
The guest house itself is full of a wonderful, old-school charm that feels both elegant and incredibly comfortable. We were blown away by the size of our room – it was huge! There was so much space to spread out and relax, making it feel like a true home away from home.
One of our favourite features was the beautiful pool area. It was the perfect spot to unwind and soak up the sun on a lazy afternoon.
If you're looking for a place with character, warmth, and a host who makes you feel like a valued friend rather than just a guest, you cannot do better than The Purple Tree.

It was close by to the local beach and attractions If we are to be picky, the bed was very large and made it difficult to get to the bathroom without hitting yourself on the bed frame or the bathroom door but we preferred to have the bigger bed so we didn't mind too much

- Lee (9/5): Great facilities and easy access to public transport links. - The facilities were good and it had a lot to offer on location and good public transport They could either reduce or include the use of the hot tub. £20 per hour was a bit steep for a 3 day stay, however this is being a little picky!

- Desly (8/5): Very good - Staff were really excellent . Our kids particularly loved the swimming pool. It worth for it's money. The rooms were really clean. There was nothing l could say . My stay was really good
- Robert (9/5): 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.
- Mike (10/5): Exceptional -
- Lina (4/5): 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.
