The owners, Lisa and Christof were such amazing hosts, nothing was too hard to organise. Breakfast was the best we’ve had in a long time, each meal individually prepared. The rooms were beautifully presented and perfectly functional. It was pet friendly, however we did not have our dog with us. A short 8-10 min walk to the Torquay foreshore and restaurants, a great location and wonderful stay.

Beautifully decorated and furnished. Immaculately clean. Gardens and location are lovely. Do yourself a favour and order the optional breakfast- has to be the best in Torquay. Great hosts. We loved it - a real gem. We’ll definitely be back.

The perfect place

The Charterhouse was as advertised, only better. Our room was very comfortable and large. The couple who manage the hotel were very nice and easy to communicate with. The location is really special, in walking distance of Torquay, but a little removed on a quiet country lane, half a mile from the lovely Cockington Country Park. It is a lovely Edwardian building, well maintained. The cleanliness was really impressive.

We loved our stay at The Charthouse

We loved our stay at The Charthouse, and are so glad we got the chance to visit and explore Torquay. The location is within walking distance of the beach, the town itself, and a picturesque path suitable for dog walks (Note: If you own a dog that doesn't like other dogs, this path may not be suitable, as there are a lot of other dogs, some off lead). Lisa & Christophe were great hosts - Lisa being a friendly welcome face each and every morning, and Christophe cooking a hearty full English breakfast (alternatives are available), the pre-breakfast fruit salad being the highlight - delicious. We stayed in a dog-friendly room and found it to be perfect offering private access to both the room and the garden. We plan to return to Torquay at some point, and would happily stay here again. Thanks for hosting us Lisa & Christophe.

Going on holiday but feeling at home. Greeted with such a warm welcome from lisa lots of smiles. The room was so beautiul, massive bed and super comfortable. The room was very clean and well presented. Bathroom had big shower and again very well presented with complimentary body wash and shampoo. Breakfast was very nice, service quick and friendly. Maybe an option of veggie breakfast would be only minor thing to add but was very well looked after with options.
