    En-suite bathroom was not at all bad, but its old origins showed so it felt less luxurious than the room, though perfectly adequate. The English breakfast part of breakfast was a bit basic, especially as the vegetarian option was to just take out the sausages. But with good yoghurt and fruit (as well as some breakfast cereals), I did not go hungry!

    Room was very comfortable and nicely, rather plushly, decorated. The host was very friendly, offering us coffee/tea when we arrived and happily advised on the local area, as we sat chatting in the nice sitting room. The location is very convenient for the train station, and is just a few minutes walk from Torre Abbey, which was perfect

    There was nothing major we didn't like. A niggle if the hotel is full could be the parking - there are 4 spaces marked out, but I'd say only 3 in reality due to the tight turning circle, which with 7 rooms could be tricky. However, on-street parking is plentiful. Apart from that, everything was as we hoped it would be.

    A lovely hotel in an excellent location, within easy walking distance of Torquay seafront and gardens. Lots of pubs and restaurants withing easy walking distance too. The room was small but roomy enough to be comfortable, immaculately clean and had nice thoughtful touches like fresh bottle of water, chocolate bars with the tea and coffee making stuff, nice shower gel and handwash. It was light and airy, and very pleasant to be in. We were at the front of the hotel, with a lovely view over the cricket ground. Breakfast was lovely, nothing was too much trouble. Starting with yogurt, honey and fresh fruit, then a range of cereal choices finishing with something cooked - choice examples included full English (sausage, bacon, eggs, beans, mushrooms), scrambled eggs and mushrooms, avocado, toast. Host Jessie was very very welcoming, she even sat with us on arrival for a cuppa in the living room after our long drive down. On our last day, we left before breakfast, so Jessie packed us up a travel bag of fresh fruit and chocolate bars! All in all, a really lovely stay.

    Not much; but if I'm searching for faults - the water pressure in my shower was a bit low - it was adequate for my two night stay, but may have become irritating over a longer period.

    Great breakfast - yoghurt & fruit, cereal, full english and more if you wanted; also breakfast was served rather than a buffet which was a pleasant surprise. Jessie was a great host and very amenable to change the menu to suit her guests. Also a really good location - the Abbey is a few minutes walk, the seafront a couple of minutes more; and (as I decided to take the train this time) Torquay station was 6 or 7 minutes walking distance.

    Breakfast served between 8 and 9, which is a little early for us personally, and you needed to book your time slot in advance. Also need to decide on your breakfast choices in advance (the day before). Not a problem for some but I don't know what I will fancy to eat until the day. The location turned out to be quite a long walk into Torquay town centre, especially as we took the wrong route the first time and walked up a very steep hill rather than staying on the front and following the bay!

    The house is lovely, the room (Green Room on ground floor) beautifully decorated and very comfortable and quiet most of the time. Being just inside the front door meant we did hear some early morning noise when other guests were leaving but it wasn't much of a problem. The bathroom is such a classic design - black and white tiled floor and traditional but totally up-to-date facilities - the best of both worlds. Great shower too! The fresh fruit and yoghurt for breakfast was delicious.

    We needed to pre book breakfast and the decor needed updating

    Jessie was a very enthusiastic hostess and very friendly the breakfast (although pre booked) was plentiful and well cooked . Our room had a very pleasant view over the cricket pitch although it was quite small , just a bedroom really , however the bed was very comfortable, the walk to town/harbour was a good 15 - 20 minute , it was very enjoyable through Torre Abbey, if we had our timings right there is a land train from the Abbey that takes you to the harbour (we never did 😀) but the walk is fine .
