Guest Reviews

• Trish (10/5): Gem of a guest house in the heart of Torquay - Fabulous experience. Gem of a guest house in the heart of Torquay. Very comfortable room with every facility required. Lovely bed and modern bathroom with a quality shower. Very clean. The breakfast is top quality in a beautiful room with a view to a park opposite. The hosts arr very helpful. Nothing is a problem. I would highly recommend the place. Can't fault the accommodation. Superb!
• Buffet (7/5): Cheap, great location to town and amenities - Lovely gentleman, very helpful. Needs a deep clean, but that's just my opinion. As I am a cleaner for a living, so I expect higher standards. But understand the gentleman does it all by himself and its a new venture for him. Also would say is damp smell, but maybe because he only opened recently. If I lived over Torquay I would offer my services to the owner, and get it to the standard it requires. I would revisit, and see how it progresses. Wish the owner all the best for the future.
• Julia (8/5): Nice clean single room, comfy bed. Helpful staff, would stay here again. -

• Kate (8/5): - Great location, good size room, there was a bar with live music behind, but it was quiet at bedtime. Decoration was a little tired.

• Patricia Hochreutener (9/5): Gemütliches B&B - Schönes grosses Zimmer und vorallem das Bett war der Hammer! Es war sauber und gemütlich. Sehr liebevoll dekoriert, da wird auf die Details geachtet. Freundlicher B&B-Betreiber, hilfsbereit und kommunikativ. Das Frühstück wurde jeden Morgen frisch zubereitet und auch auf Wünsche eingegangen. Parkplatz hinter dem Haus. Ins Stadtzentrum gelangt man in wenigen Minuten zu Fuss, viele Restaurants. Guter Ausgangspunkt um die Umgebung zu erkunden. Badezimmer etwas klein und eng

Thank you so much for making our stay your priority.

The host was very welcoming and friendly, the room was very clean and well stocked with tea & coffee, the bathroom had shampoos and body cream. We were even able to have our dog stay over with us! Very comfortable mattress and lovely view over Torwood Gardens. Nothing!
• Clive (10/5): Fabulous - Everything Nothing
• Elena (10/5): Lovely place - A really great place to stay: excellent location, lovely hosts, a lot of character to the place, next to a sweet little park. Can't think of anything

• Tracy (10/5): Absolutely superb! - Great location, excellent place to stay. The owners went out of their way to make us comfortable during our stay. My son is autistic and they were very patient with him and just lovely people! I wouldn't hesitate to go back!
• Kate (10/5): Highly recommended - Mine and my husbands stay at the Tusker Lodge was very pleasant and comfortable. The owners were very pleasant and very accommodating. There was nothing I didn't like.

• Elizabeth (1/5): Awful - Location Facilities
• MIKE (9/5): - Excellent breakfast. Comfy room. Great location . Will stay again next visit to Torquay
• PZiolko (8/5): Tusker Lodge stay - Great location, close to most of places. very friendly owners. Great breakfasts. Free parking in quite crowded Torquay town. WiFi needs upgrading as for us and two kids it was already cutting off and was unusable quite few times.
• Young (7/5): Suited our needs - Nice greeting from Sandy Close to town centre coffee & tea topped up every day Comfortable bed Unfortunately noise from above woke us each morning. (Room 7)
• Amanda (8/5): -
• Simon (8/5): Very good. Perfect location and dog friendly!! - . .
• Mohammed (5/5): Passable -
• Cunningham (8/5): Very good -
• Louise (7/5): Good - I had a lovely room and the staff were lovely, comfortable bed. Lovely new small bathroom. Went quite early, as I was in back room away from road. Good area, close to town but far enough from the hussle and busel of town. Lovely area to sit out in morning for a cuppa or evening. Needs updating, as old carpet in hall way and decorator needs painting. I believe I was over the top of the kitchen and I had a bad smell one evening and morning. The water system was a little noisy but stopped early evening as it was on and off. Unfortunately there was a man coughing and sounded as he was being sick early morning, just after a dog started barking at 4.45 in the morning. This was not the fault of the owners, just the walls were a little thin. But saying this I would stay again.

The location is perfect just a 5-minute walk to museums, restaurants, and nightlife, with major attractions 15–30 minutes away. Parking was easy, and the staff was happy to help if more was needed. The sushi dinner was unforgettable, and breakfast was just as lovely. The hosts are super nice, and this warm, family-run hotel made us feel truly cared for. We already miss it and can’t wait to come back for a longer stay🙂
