Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is located in a quiet area, just a short stroll from the sea front and near all the good tourist attractions. The rooms are spacious and comfortable but lack air conditioning. The service was friendly but could be more attentive. The organic food in the dining area was a great touch. The value for money is decent considering the facilities provided.
I found this hotel to be a cozy hideaway, nestled in a quiet area about 10 minutes from the lively seafront of Torquay. The rooms were well-equipped and provided a comfortable stay, but the steep slope with low stone walls could be challenging for some. The homemade pies and jams added a delightful touch to the dining experience, making it a pleasant stay overall.
The hotel is located in a quiet area, just a short stroll away from the sea front. The rooms are cozy and nicely equipped, offering a good night's sleep. The service was exceptional, making my stay very pleasant. However, the steep slope and stone walls around the property can be challenging to navigate. Overall, a great value for money option.
