Jeanette was recovering from a very severe attack of sciatica and they could not do enough to help us.We would certainly recommend the Hotel and hope to return again .The food was excellent the rooms very comfortable and clean.Thank you David and Nicola...

We had an excellent short break at the Tor Dean. Right from the initial phone call to book the accomodation, Nicola was very friendly and helpful. Both she and David were great hosts. Nothing was too much trouble and they always had time to talk to you giving lots of information about the area. We were treated to a cup... More

Friendliness a big factor in its favour if you are an outgoing sort of person. Gorgeous sitting-room. Only one suggestion - fish on offer for breakfast would be a... More

Thank you Val for your review. We had a lovely few days with the NUT'S and look forward to welcoming you all again. You did mention Hot Fish for Breakfast , just to clarify ,with the position of the kitchen in relation to the stairway to the first floor ,the smell tended to hang around for most of the day....

We have stayed at Tor Dean on several occasions and have always had a friendly reception, plus a cup of tea: and cake, on arrival. Our room, as usual, was of ample size, well appointed with plenty of storage space and spotlessly clean. The hotel atmosphere was most relaxing; whether we were having coffee in the guest lounge or a... More
