Lovely short stay for us when visiting our daughter. The staff were very helpful and did everything to make our stay comfortable. We unexpectedly needed a wheelchair on the second day of our visit which was provided for us and which ensured we could still have a most enjoyable day. Thank you.

Fab spot

The location of the hotel is great, we were visiting family in Torbay which is less than a ten minute drive from here. There are plenty of bars cafes and shops a short walk along from the hotel. if you dont want to pay for the hotel parking there is a public car park at the top of beach road that is a little cheaper. The hotel is well decorated and the reception and public areas were nice and clean during our stay. Our room was spacious and clean, it had tea and coffee as well as a mini fridge. The bed was comfortable, as were the two chairs in the room. Staff were attentive, polite and helpful. We'll certainly use this hotel again on our next visit to Torquay.
