Two big thumbs up, both for The Westgate and for Torquay. The hotel was perfect for our visit, well located next to Torre Abbey and the beach front. Clean and well presented, the staff are friendly and have great local knowledge, ask them anything - they will have the answer! Highly recommend staying here, thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We felt very welcome, we will be back.

My room was nice and good value. The proprietor was very nice, but both she and her son were ill : she had a raspy voice, and they both seemed to have fever. I should have left straight away, but I wasn't aware that Torbay is a hot-spot for the coronavirus. My main complaint is that I was more exposed than necessary to whatever they had. I felt cold and asked for a heater. I expected him to give me a little fan heater to take into my room. Instead, he produced a big radiator and, wearing pyjama bottoms, came into my tiny room with me to plug it in. (I should have asked him not to go in.) Less seriously, I had made a booking which included breakfast, but in the morning, I was told it didn't include breakfast. I showed her my booking which stated "free breakfast", but said it didn't matter. She insisted that I should have breakfast, and got her son on the job. I only had a little variety pack box of cornflakes, but he was moaning during my whole breakfast about the booking company getting things wrong. I really didn't need their breakfast! I took my tea to my room to get away from his moaning. It seems they obtained proprietorship of the guest fairly recently. I became ill with a sore throat and high temperature a couple of days later - which at this time, is more than just a minor inconvenience, and they should not be operating their guest house while ill. Also, the bedlinen didn't smell entirely fresh.

What a lovely little hotel. Being refurbished room by room at the moment. Excellent breakfast with home made sausages. Very friendly staff. There was a slight issue with the heating in the first night but other than that, faultless.

The managers are wonderful, the building is charming, clean and cosy, the breakfast was excellent and the bathrobes a nice touch. The perfect spot for events at Torre Abbey and convenient to both train stations. Well exceeded expectations and great value for money. Well done and thanks to Lee & Karen.

Hyggeligt lille hotel. Varm velkomst, kufferten blev båret op til værelset. Stort udvalg af morgenmad. Den skal bestilles om aftenen før, og serveres uden ventetid på aftalt tidspunkt. Der er en lille bar som har åbent til omkring 22:30.
