Reviews and Ratings
The guest house is conveniently located to everything you could possibly need, close to the seafront in Torquay and all the attractions we wanted to visit. The rooms offer all facilities you would expect, with the extra touch of a fridge which was very handy for a bottle of wine. The dining experience provides quality ingredients and a fridge for personal use, though it lacks a variety of gluten-free products. The service is attentive, especially housekeeping, ensuring a comfortable stay. However, the pricing can be a bit on the higher side, considering the value for money.
The guest house is conveniently located, just a short walk from the seafront and all the attractions we wanted to visit. The rooms were well-equipped with a handy fridge for a bottle of wine, and my partner appreciated the extra touch. However, the dining experience, although offering quality ingredients, could have had more variety. The housekeeping service was attentive and efficient, adding to the overall pleasant stay.
