A return visit this year was even better than our visit last year. The dining room/lounge area has ben put into one room and this is now a bright open room that is a pleasure both at breakfast and in the evening when it is bathed in sunlight. The care shown by our hosts left us wanting nothing. I would... More

Stayed here for one night for a Torquay United match as the guest house is literally 5 minutes walk away and had a pleasurable and enjoyable stay. Tony & Pauline are friendly and generous hosts and are not overbearing as some guest house owners can be. They give you the info you need then leave you to your own devices... More

Thanks for taking the time to leave such a detailed review. We appreciate all feedback from our guests. As you rightly state there are low ceiling points in the double guest room on our top floor due to the architecture of the building, we actually find that most guests request this room for a couple because of its character and...

I recently returned from a business trip and was fortunate to stay at this amazing Guest House. Pauline and Tony the perfect hosts made me feel very welcome - breakfast was just brilliant cooked perfectly - I cannot thank you both enough. The room was very cosy with all the added 'homely' touches that made my stay very comfortable. Local... More

Breakfast is very good and we also had an excellent 4 course evening meal specially for our anniversary. Hosts Tony & Pauline are very friendly and make you feel very welcome,... More

What a gem of a place! I cannot recommend this B & B highly enough. Perfect for a woman travelling on her own. Pauline and Tony are perfect hosts, friendly and helpful but not too much and their ideas for refurbishment will make it even better. A very pleasant stay. More

I can only echo what others have said about Pauline and Tony - they are perfect hosts. Cracking breakfasts with possibly the best poached eggs ever. The room was very clean (especially the en-suite which was spotlessly clean) and tastefully decorated with a very comfortable bed.. The guest house is well situated with the added advantage of having its own... More
