Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is conveniently located near the harbor and in a quiet area, offering a peaceful stay. The rooms are spacious with a very comfortable bed but do not include TVs. The housekeeping service is excellent, although the dining options, especially for fish and chips, could be improved.
The hotel is so charming, overlooking the harbor front and conveniently close to Torquay seafront. The rooms are cozy with kingsize beds, en suite bathrooms, and wonderful facilities, and the bed is incredibly comfortable. The service, especially housekeeping, was top-notch. The homemade marmalade at dining added a delightful touch. Despite the summer harbor activities, the price was a bit high for what was offered.
The hotel is in an amazing location, just a short walk to the main town and surrounded by everything you need. The rooms are kept clean daily, and the bed is incredibly comfortable. The service from the housekeeping staff is top-notch. The traditional Italian dishes at the restaurant are a must-try, but the price could be a bit high. Overall, a great place for a relaxing stay with some minor drawbacks.
