The room was a little small BUT it was clean, modern and comfortable. Another plus was the shower... lovely to have a shower in a hotel without either almost burning your skin off... More

The Richwood Hotel was a brilliant choice! Very friendly owners Veronika and Saida with jolly barman Kevin. The room was cosy with the comfortable bed. The cooked breakfast with 'professional poached eggs' I couldn't resist. The highlight was supper in Beirut bar with Lebanese Meze! It was food to die for! You definitely have to try it. We are already... More

We were greeted by Joint owner Saida and the beautiful dog Sheba and given a very warm welcome. The hotel is spotlessly clean and although the bedroom was small it was very comfortable. Breakfast was ample and very tasty. Kevin the barman was very entertaining with a great sense of humour and ensured everyone was looked after. Just a shame... More

First time in Torquay and couldn't believe that we chose a gem of a place to stay.It was well placed to walk to the football ground and town centre. The staff are extremely friendly and you are made to feel at home. Excellent accommodation and the breakfast is not to be missed. Would definitely recommend.
