Best staff ever

The installations were more like a big house rather than a hotel but the stuff was absolutely amazing. They really took care of the details. The breakfast was done at the moment we were sitting, homemade and delicious. Such a nice place really recommended.

My daughter and I stayed for a few nightsfrom 5 August 2019. The room at the back of the building was delightful. Comfortably furnished with a lovely bathroom. Spectacular view out across Torquay. The owners made us very welcome and gave us some good tips on places to visit. We're hoping to be back this August with my daughter's 2 children.... Lockdown permitting.

The new owners are very friendly and are working hard to make changes from the previous management. The family room we stayed in was very clean and suited us as a family of 4 perfectly. The breakfast choice was fantatsic and tasted superb. The children loved the swimming pool which will be even better once heated, which they are sorting soon. We had a peaceful 2 night stay.

New owners are great. Please bear in mind that this is a budget B&B and it is great for the price. Do not expect luxury. It can be noisy if you get a room on the main road
