Staff at the property were lovely, location is great, very central to Torquay. Only slight gripe is the lack of air con in the rooms, it was one of the hottest days in fairness, and the room was boiling hot all night.

We had a fantastic stay for our 59th wedding anniversary. The entertainment was first class. The only complaint we had was the rooms could have been a little cleaner and the shower was tiny, but it didn’t stop us from having a jolly good time.

I really like this hotel and have stayed twice now, we are local and come for a night. The location is brill and close to everything in the centre, the staff are lovely and look after you. It has a lovely feeling to it with the nice bar area and entertainment. All the guests have been friendly travelling for miles to stay here. I’d definitely stay again and again. Parking is also a bonus £6 for 24hr in Fleet Street.
