My daughter and I had a wonderful one night stay at Torbay Guesthouse. The hosts were so accommodating and friendly. The room provided everything and more that we needed for our one night, and we were fortunate to park on the drive right outside. The location was fantastic, a short walk to the beach, Torbay provided a bodyboard for my daughter to use whilst there too. There were lots of additions provided that made the trip memorable for us, extremely great value for money. Would definitely return :).

The breakfast was made of decent quality ingredients, it tasted delicious! James, Christine & Co are lovely, super friendly and want to make your stay as enjoyable as possible! The pictures don't do the place justice. It is a relaxed atmosphere with a self-service bar with available snacks. The Paignton Pier with arcades, shops & other dining options is 10 minutes walk on the flat. James & Christine have lots of amazjng options to help cater your stay to you.

Excellent stayed

I loved my stay at Torbay Guest house. It is located on a quiet road within a few minutes walk to the beach. The breakfast was amazing and freshly-prepared. James was an amazing host, very friendly and attentive. Near the train station or bus stop. James gave me great recommendations for local places to visit.i walked to Brixham from the guesthouse . The path to there was stunning and alongside the coast. Amazing views and calm. I would definitely look to come and stay here again if I am ever back in the area. Thanks so much!

I had a lovely single room with a small fridge and a fan which made a big difference in this heat. My ensuite shower worked well. The toilet was outside the room..which was less convenient though. The room was on the first floor and I have slight mobility issues so that was a bit tricky but James took my luggage up and brought it back down for me..and I got more used to the stairs. The Guest house is clean and bright..and the owners James and Christine are lovely.and friendly. I hope to return for another stay there soon..and a big plus is that it is so close to the beach. All in all I would rate it highly.
