Disliked: Cleanliness
We were in a small room also the only day light we had was from a small window with frosted glass, you had to have a light on all of the time , right out side the window was a large pipe extracter fan ? Which that went off a couple of times during the night , which was noisy, waking us up, we never complained as the hotel was busy with coaches. The room got very warm . We ate in the dining couple of times that was very good , plenty of choice. Overall apart from the room and always having to go to reception for everything, from towels to loo roll. The lift was not working, so it was a struggle with cases , up two flights of stairs.

Best Budget option in the area

I travel frequently to the South West for work and generally stay here. For the price Trecarn offers a good option. The rooms and general decor is tired, but it is clean, the rooms are secure and the showers are hot and powerful. There is a bar and restaurant and there is outdoor seating when its hot. The hotel generally caters to coach holidays so it needs to meet a certain standard. There is on street parking around the hotel and there are takeaways, pubs and a tesco within a short walk. Its not luxury, but compared to the budget options in the Torquay town centre the Trecarn is miles better.
