We decided to go to torquay for a few days following our wedding and booked the Shirley via the internet mainly for its closeness to the harbour and amenities. What a brilliant choice! We had our 2 year old daughter Lily with us and the website we booked through said it was a family friendly place - what an understatement!... more

We booked to stay 3 nights at the Shirley and ended up staying for 4 because we didn't want to leave, I think that speaks volumes! Rooms, breakfast and hosts all get top marks, we have already recommended the hotel to family and friends. Gary, Debbie and Adam all made an effort to welcome our chidren and make them feel... more

The rooms are clean, fresh and very relaxing the best nights sleep I have had in a long time. I... more

The lounge and bar are tastefully decorated and our hosts encouraged us to relax as if in our own home. The rooms are comfortable with all the extras. Bedding and... more
