Upon arrival warm and friendly greeting, reception has an honesty bar with alcoholic drinks,water,soft drinks, chocolate, crisps, nibbles etc. once booked in shown to room with room facilities explained.Room very clean and tidy, en suite with toilet, sink and shower. Tea, coffee, milk, sugar, sweeteners, hot chocolate and biscuits on tray all refreshed daily, daily housekeeping, Wi-Fi and TV in room. Breakfast is pre ordered with a good range of options well cooked/prepared and presented. Choice of breakfast at 08:30 or 09:00 plenty of tea and coffee available. The building is well presented we were in room six had three plain walls and a feature wall which had birds of paradise flowers in the pattern, this was picked up by two artificial bird of paradise plants placed on a wall picking up the pattern of the feature wall (shows thought gone into decoration), each room is decorated in a different style. Main staircase to bedrooms was immaculate, there was a bar on the lower level but we did not use this, car parking on site for about six vehicles. The hosts could not have been any more polite nor attentive and clearly enjoy what they are doing and have achieved. Would definitely return again

Amazing stay, great food and the best hospitality.
Amazing stay from start to finish. We had a family room which was a great size. On our first night we enjoyed a drink from the bar whilst we sat in the garden and the kids were entertained by Denise. 😍 Hospitality was amazing. Breakfast was great. Thank you so much for a lovely stay, we would definetly return and would highly recommend.

Great location in Torquay.
Great hosts, excellent location. Just what we needed for a few nights away in Torquay. The family room was well thought out with the single beds in the alcoves. Some areas are a little tired but the homeliness over came this. Russ and Helen were very attentive. Breakfast was lovely and great choice. All in all a great stay.
