“Wow, thanks!”

Reviewed May 11, 2013

This was our first trip to this part of the country. The driving instructions to the hotel were invaluable, as we all no know how dodgy sat-nav can be. Our welcome was first rate. Debbie was accommodating and pleasant. She promoted the hotel, Torquey and the surrounding area with the enthusiasm of a local and not a tour operator. Our... More

Thanks for your lovely review and comments. we were upset that we couldn't fit you in for an extra night but at least we were able to help you find somewhere for you. We really enjoyed your company during your stay and would dearly love to see you both again. More
