We had a wonderful stay at this accommodation and would highly recommend it. My son absolutely loved it, especially the amazing pool area, which we enjoyed every day. The place was spotless and comfortable, and we had no problems at all during our stay. The owner was incredibly kind and welcoming, always ready to help with anything we needed — nothing was ever too much trouble for her. Thanks to her warm hospitality and the great facilities, we would definitely come back again.

2/10 Terrible

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
This was one of the worst hotels we have ever stayed in. I would definitely not recommend it, especially for families with children. The triple room was very small. The double bed was uncomfortable and too short, so my husband, who is tall, couldn't even stretch out properly. When we booked the room, it was advertised as having a garden view. In reality, our window overlooked a derelict building and a garbage bin, which was very disappointing and misleading. The outdoor pool area was also very poor. All of the sun loungers were broken, and the outdoor furniture was old, worn out, and shabby. The hotel owner brought us a "new" sun lounger, but it was unstable. It collapsed while I was using it, causing me to fall onto my back and injure it. Overall, the hotel did not meet our expectations, and the quality was far below what was advertised. I would not recommend staying here, especially if you are traveling with children. We chose this hotel because of the excellent reviews, but they do not reflect reality. Our experience was completely different, and we felt misled by the reviews and the hotel's description.

Checked in- cash .£120 for 2 nights.The pool is fab. My single room was so small.There was no wardrobe. Dunelm Dungeon. Slept well. The shower would not work. It was stuck. I told staff.Breakfast was nice. I went back to my room. The heating was on. I felt claustrophobic for the 1st time in my life. The room was so pokey. Right by the front door of the hotel- noisy.Guests could look in on you.Had a good day, became aware there were better rooms in Torquay available for the same price. I rang to see if I could be put in a different room at Glenorlleigh or be released from my contract. I explained I thought the room was like a prison cell. The manager was booking in new arrivals.Agreed to call back in 10 mins. She didn’t pick up five times. In voicemails I repeated my problem with the room. When I did eventually speak to her she accused me of being rude about her B&B and taking advantage of her because she was on her own.She called police and directed that I should leave ASAP. I should take up the refund issue with Expedia despite the fact that I had paid cash in adv. Eventually she said I could have a refund. I returned to the hotel to collect my belongings.She had changed her mind again. I would need to take up the issue of a refund with Expedia. She was dealing with other guests as I came to collect my property. She was hostile and intimidating to me. I felt vulnerable so fled.I left town, I then realised I still had the room key.She began to bombard me with calls.

Very pleasant stay

Very good B and B. The owner was very friendly, and so were her staff. Breakfasts were excellent. Only very small downside, there’s not a great deal of on site parking. The swimming pool is a big positive, even if you don’t use the pool there is a lovely terrace to sit and have a drink overlooking the pool.

A huge thank you to Kelly for making our stay a very pleasant one. As soon as we arrived we had a very warm welcome and even our little daughter felt right at home. The room was a nice size and there was a guest living room & lovely dining area and heated outdoor pool. Breakfast was delicious and was cooked immaculately by Kelly. Would definitely recommend this guest house if anyone is visiting Torquay.
