The hotel is ideally located on the beach, perfect for exploring charming Torquay in the warmer months. It's within walking distance of Torquay harbour, offering easy access to the beach and shops. The rooms are beautifully appointed with a four-poster bed and both bath and shower facilities for the children. While the service was not up to par, the housekeeping was satisfactory and the welcome drink was a nice touch.

The dining experience, especially for the non-refundable rate, could be improved. The availability of hot dogs was limited and might not appeal to all guests.

I found the hotel to be a cozy family-run establishment not far from the center of Torquay. The rooms were spacious and well-furnished, providing a comfortable stay. However, the service was lacking in a positive manner with slow housekeeping and lack of a welcome drink. The location was convenient, albeit a bit far from the town center. The dining experience for a non-refundable rate was delightful with a variety of delicious Thai dishes. The facilities were top-notch, offering everything one could need during their stay.
