I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were beautifully decorated with exotic artwork from Thailand and had a stunning four-poster bed. The views from my room were simply breathtaking. The service was top-notch, with prompt room service and thorough housekeeping. The location was ideal, right in the center of Torquay, making it convenient to access all the attractions. The dining experience was a true delight with delicious food and proper bacon served. The facilities were excellent, especially the relaxing pool area. The only downside was the optional car park up the hill, which could be a bit inconvenient.

The hotel's four-poster bed rooms offer excellent facilities and a lovely view of the curvy hills of Torquay. The service, although good, lacks room service. The location is right in the center of Torquay, close to all local sights, but is down a hill. The dining experience was amazing, especially the proper bacon served. The facilities are top-notch, with a notable absence of a pool.

I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The rooms were beautifully decorated with exotic artwork from Thailand and offered excellent facilities. The views from the room were lovely, but there were some noise disturbances at night. The service was top-notch, with attentive room service and thorough housekeeping. The hotel's location right in the center of Torquay was perfect for exploring the area, especially being so close to the vibrant harbor with a great choice of restaurants. The dining experience was a highlight, with delicious food that included proper bacon and Singapore noodles. The facilities were impressive, offering everything I needed for a comfortable stay.
