The location also close to all the shops was fantastic for us. Moreover, it was 2 km from North Shore. The double room that we stayed in was reasonably large and huge. The breakfasts were savoury with beautiful views across the coast of Torbay, salads, quickly served.

The bedroom was a decent size and brand-new. The bathroom was really good with a bath. The sea view was idyllic and the location was very special, so close to the hill into Torquay, restaurants in town and the otherwise excellent restaurant.

I liked continental breakfasts with salad and a magnificent view, as for instance. This hotel was set in a central area really close to the Theatre, the shops, harbour and restaurants, and a slight hill which is a 5 minute walk to the heart of the harbour where there is so much to do-bars, restaurants, arcades, crabbing, museums. Had brunch in the Cinnabar, located nearby.
Wi-Fi was very poor tbh and there was very uncomfortable bed in my room.
