Enjoyable stay at this hotel.

We had a lovely stay at this hotel. Owner Kelly and her staff were friendly and very helpful. The hotel was very clean and the food was well cooked and presented. Nice swimming pool and bar. Family friendly hotel. We would stay here again and can recommend based on our stay at The Glenorleigh.

We had a wonderful stay at this accommodation and would highly recommend it. My son absolutely loved it, especially the amazing pool area, which we enjoyed every day. The place was spotless and comfortable, and we had no problems at all during our stay. The owner was incredibly kind and welcoming, always ready to help with anything we needed — nothing was ever too much trouble for her. Thanks to her warm hospitality and the great facilities, we would definitely come back again.

Kelly was a wonderful host who clearly takes so much pride in her property. The room I had was comfortable with a great shower. I had the window open overnight due to the heatwave but it was lovelt and quiet all night. Would definitely visit again!

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Checked in- cash .£120 for 2 nights.The pool is fab. My single room was so small.There was no wardrobe. Dunelm Dungeon. Slept well. The shower would not work. It was stuck. I told staff.Breakfast was nice. I went back to my room. The heating was on. I felt claustrophobic for the 1st time in my life. The room was so pokey. Right by the front door of the hotel- noisy.Guests could look in on you.Had a good day, became aware there were better rooms in Torquay available for the same price. I rang to see if I could be put in a different room at Glenorlleigh or be released from my contract. I explained I thought the room was like a prison cell. The manager was booking in new arrivals.Agreed to call back in 10 mins. She didn’t pick up five times. In voicemails I repeated my problem with the room. When I did eventually speak to her she accused me of being rude about her B&B and taking advantage of her because she was on her own.She called police and directed that I should leave ASAP. I should take up the refund issue with Expedia despite the fact that I had paid cash in adv. Eventually she said I could have a refund. I returned to the hotel to collect my belongings.She had changed her mind again. I would need to take up the issue of a refund with Expedia. She was dealing with other guests as I came to collect my property. She was hostile and intimidating to me. I felt vulnerable so fled.I left town, I then realised I still had the room key.She began to bombard me with calls.

Very pleasant stay

Very good B and B. The owner was very friendly, and so were her staff. Breakfasts were excellent. Only very small downside, there’s not a great deal of on site parking. The swimming pool is a big positive, even if you don’t use the pool there is a lovely terrace to sit and have a drink overlooking the pool.
