From the moment we walked through the door, to the time we were going home, what an enjoyable experience! Simon and Dianne couldn't do enough for us, however were not intrusive which is always a bonus! The room was very comfortable, spotlessly clean, with good quality linens and fluffy towels. Location wise it was perfect, being a level walk to... More

I have just returned from a 4 night stay with my 80 year old mother, who is disabled. Simon and Dianne went out of their way to make us welcome and comfortable, providing a room on the ground floor with a walk in shower. The awards for breakfasts are well deserved - a particularly favourite was the scrambled egg and... More

We have just returned home after a wonderful overnight stay at The Daylesford. Simon and Dianne are the most charming hosts, we received such a very warm welcome, which felt like they welcoming us as friends into their absolutely beautiful home. We cannot fault this place, from the very comfortable bed to the superb breakfast, a first class experience all... More

My spouse and I were very, very fortunate to book 2 rooms (...he snores sometimes, hence the separate rooms) for 4 nights at the lovely Daylesford in Torquay from half a world away in Toronto (Whitby, Ontario), Canada, in September, 2010. The Daylesford certainly lived up to its professional website presentation and more. On arrival, we were greeted with a... More

We clearly state that we are a guest house, not a hotel. To run a higher quality, award-winning guest house involves an enormous amount of time, effort and investment. Our pricing pro rata is exceedingly fair. Further, as is obvious from reviews, the vast majority of guests rate our guest house highly and return frequently. More

I complained that it was up to him... More

This person seems to have serious problems. He has never stayed at our guest house and despite our polite cancellation request, sent us abusive, threatening, foul-languaged e-mails, hence the police being fully aware of the situation. More

They are little bit small but nicely interieur in victorian style. You can always have a little smalltalk with the owner and they give you a... More

The whole experience was first class, The Daylesford is situated within easy walking distance of Torquay seafront, harbour and town centre. The room we had was spotlessly clean, bed comfortable, the small lounge was ideal to relax and read in or watch television. The breakfast was very good and the service provided by Dianne and Simon was excellent. Very friendly,... More
