We were lucky to stay with Trish and Alan for five days thanks to a last minute cancellation. We can absolutely recommend this hotel without hesitation, they are really nice people and gave us good recommendations. You can sense the passion and pride they take into accommodating their guests and looking after them well. Our room had a four poster bed and sea views. I am not going to count the slightly longer waits during breakfast as a negative as this is obviously necessary to accommodate Covid-19 measures.
The only slight negative for us was that our mattress was not very comfortable. If you are looking to make a trip to the Torbay area, this is a fantastic location. The steam train to Kingswear is only a 5 minutes walk away. The beach is 1 minute from the hotel door, with the harbour being 3 minutes of walking. There are ferries from the harbour to Brixham if you don't fancy looking/paying for parking there. The bus stop to Torquay is very close to the hotel as well. Finally, there are parking spots right in front of the hotel specifically for guests. Thank you Alan and Trish!

This place is really the best. Its like going home. You wont find a better welcome or owners than here. Their knowledge of places to go is endless. Time is taken to get to know you and you definitely leave feeling part of the family. As if that wasnt enough the food is superb, the parking is free and i think you are in the best spot ever. Close to everything. Thanks for another truly magical stay.
