We stayed here with a large group of friends over four nights. I cannot praise the staff enough.. they went out of their way to make us all feel welcome and the service at mealtimes was brilliant. The standard of food was very good and beautifully presented on HOT plates, which is to be commended. Although the hotel is a short distance from Torquay centre, there is a bus stop outside the hotel or a stiff uphill walk before dropping down into town. I would certainly recommend the hotel and would happily return next year.
