Katrina does all her best to make the stay as pleasant as possible. Her smile and positivity are top of everything else! She know how you cook an amazing breakfast!

Lovely welcome from catriona. Told. Me what I needed to know and left me to it. Went for a run along the coast and came back to the very comfortable room. Place was extremely clean and spacious. Didn't make use of the breakfast, but it smelled great! Thanks for a nice stay

What a great place to stay, from the friendly welcome on the first day. The room was spotless, well equipped and very comfortable. We both slept very well on the enormous bed. We both loved the bathroom, with a corner bath as well as a shower. The breakfast was one of the best I have ever had on a holiday. The hotel is just a short walk away from the town and two of the best restaurants in Torquay. The parking requires a little skill, as it is off the road, but up a very tight little road
The gardens are beautiful and well kept, with plenty of seating to sit outside and enjoy the sun.
