Kelly was a wonderful host who clearly takes so much pride in her property. The room I had was comfortable with a great shower. I had the window open overnight due to the heatwave but it was lovelt and quiet all night. Would definitely visit again!

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Checked in- cash .£120 for 2 nights.The pool is fab. My single room was so small.There was no wardrobe. Dunelm Dungeon. Slept well. The shower would not work. It was stuck. I told staff.Breakfast was nice. I went back to my room. The heating was on. I felt claustrophobic for the 1st time in my life. The room was so pokey. Right by the front door of the hotel- noisy.Guests could look in on you.Had a good day, became aware there were better rooms in Torquay available for the same price. I rang to see if I could be put in a different room at Glenorlleigh or be released from my contract. I explained I thought the room was like a prison cell. The manager was booking in new arrivals.Agreed to call back in 10 mins. She didn’t pick up five times. In voicemails I repeated my problem with the room. When I did eventually speak to her she accused me of being rude about her B&B and taking advantage of her because she was on her own.She called police and directed that I should leave ASAP. I should take up the refund issue with Expedia despite the fact that I had paid cash in adv. Eventually she said I could have a refund. I returned to the hotel to collect my belongings.She had changed her mind again. I would need to take up the issue of a refund with Expedia. She was dealing with other guests as I came to collect my property. She was hostile and intimidating to me. I felt vulnerable so fled.I left town, I then realised I still had the room key.She began to bombard me with calls.

Very pleasant stay

Very good B and B. The owner was very friendly, and so were her staff. Breakfasts were excellent. Only very small downside, there’s not a great deal of on site parking. The swimming pool is a big positive, even if you don’t use the pool there is a lovely terrace to sit and have a drink overlooking the pool.
