“Our room was very clean and tidy. Our hosts were really friendly and welcoming. Bed was comfortable. Breakfast was cooked to perfection. Free.parking on-site. I just can't fault this place, and it is our new B&B of choice whenever we are in this area”
“Beautiful B&B on a hill, but walkable to the bay and wharf and many dining options. The Bay Area is a little tacky with pin ball, casinos bars etc, but we had a very nice dinner at a spot called “Local” and it was walking distance to our lodging.”
“Lovely place and very friendly hosts Tom and Rosie. The location is great (walking distance to harbour, sea front and main street). Tom knows all the great places to see, drink and eat. I especially liked the harbour light, looking over the harbour with a nice glass of wine and some great food)”
“Very warm welcome very attentive food outstanding compliments to the chef best musili I’ve ever had and the tomahawk steak was cooked to perfection wouldn’t hesitate to stay again.”
“The best way to describe the Great Western is with the two words, quaint and quirky! The house is in the middle of a massive re-vamp, but that did not impinge on my stay, which was short, but long enough to form a very positive opinion.
My room was clearly re-purposed, with the en-suite bolted on, but it was clean, the bed was comfortable and the bathroom fittings were quite new and of a good standard. The furnishings were old-fashioned, but I thought that gave the place its charm and……
“We stayed for one night only and the reception was friendly. We bought a plug-in air freshener as the room smelt funky. The single bed was uncomfortable. Very noisy at night due to karaoke - but this was the summer in Paignton so I guess it’s normal. Hotel is near the main strip so very convenient. ”
“Unfortunately my double bed was 2 singles put together which was uncomfortable for my partner and me. We were disappointed that there was a window over looking the bed that had no curtain or blind so the sun came in at 5 to wake us up. Another problem was why wouldn’t you give guests a hand towel? After washing your hands the only item available was toilet roll. ”
“This hotel is well located close to bus & rail stations and only a couple of hundred yards from the promenade and the pretty Victoria Park. As with the majority of property in the area this is an older style premises with the typical drawbacks like steep staircases. On the positive side though the owners have introduced modern adaptations like proximity lighting on the stairs, wall mounted TVs in the rooms and electric charging point on the forecourt. As an added safety feature they have……
“We loved our stay at The Charthouse, and are so glad we got the chance to visit and explore Torquay. The location is within walking distance of the beach, the town itself, and a picturesque path suitable for dog walks (Note: If you own a dog that doesn't like other dogs, this path may not be suitable, as there are a lot of other dogs, some off lead).
Lisa & Christophe were great hosts - Lisa being a friendly welcome face each and every morning, and Christophe cooking a hearty full English……
“Loved our stay at the Torcroft!
The B&B is clean, comfortable & modern and most importantly quiet at nighttime so you’ll have a peaceful sleep. The honesty bar and Mediterranean style garden was perfect for relaxing and enjoying drinks at sunset and the breakfast each morning was absolutely delicious.
They gave us recommendations of all the places to visit in South Devon, Thank you so much Gary & Phil!

“What a lovely property with lovely hosts. Made us feel welcome and relaxed.
Breakfast is just great! Full English, whatever you like, loads of options like cereals, crumpets, breakfast bars, fruit, yoghurts, waffles to name a few. Hosts attentive and eager to please while being friendly too. Room was very nice with big sliding window and smart TV with the usuals like Netflix and Prime (bring your own accounts!). Wifi in rooms good too and beds are super comfy with 2 good pillows each as……
“Unfortunately I was not there for pleasure, but Michelle was really welcoming. My room was ready before arrive and Michelle advised me on this by text, upon arrival Michelle helped me with my bag and offered my a cup of tea or coffee, even though this was in my room. ”
“Really beautiful place with a lovely warm welcome from the hosts.
Attention to detail, comfortable bed and room in general with everything you need for a relaxing stay.
Great location 5 minutes walk from Torre railway station and 15 minutes walk from seafront and town.
Easy drive to local towns like Brixham, Dawlish, Teignmouth and about 45 mins to Plymouth.
I'd stay here again definitely. ”
