I have stayed in a lot of B & B/ Guest House type accommodation over the past few years and this was probably my favourite. It sets the bar high. Price was very reasonable out of season (March), even for Room 2 (a double). I am used to poky single rooms as a solo traveller. There is a lovely lounge with a great view. Quite an upmarket ambience, with high Victorian ceilings. Very clean and well maintained. The owners (Claire and Stuart) are lovely, helpful, friendly people. I have never had more attentive service at breakfast. A short walk from Torre railway station. Very helpful when I struggled to access the internet.

No much to not like. The positives far outweigh the negatives. Lock on my bedroom door was iffy and life expired. Parking in their car park might be tricky for a driver like me if full, as on a steep slope. Fortunately it was empty!

Accommodation - Perfect Breakfast - As good as it gets. Delicious. Very clean all round. Beautiful building. Brilliant location Hosts - Wonderful

Clearly a very well run B & B. Nicely decorated rooms, extremely clean and comfortable, cleaned daily. Would happily stay again. Good communication with the owners. Situated on a busy road, but convenient for a regular bus service or walk into Torquay town centre which is approximately 20 minutes away, mostly downhill. Breakfast available but didn't take. A nice little balcony on the back of the accommodation, available for all guests, where you can eat if required. Parking no problems.

Some noise from the main road, although this did not spoil my stay and the owners made me aware of this before my arrival.

Certainly appreciated the fact Ashwood Grange happily caters for solo travellers with a realistic tariff. Perfect for business trips, working stop overs and, in my case, leisure. Claire the host is such a vibrant lady and clearly nothing is going to be a problem, with so many years experience, with her husband, as Hoteliers. My initial impression was that the decor was tired, but that perception very quickly turned into 'homely'. Everything is in keeping with the building and maintenance is clearly important to the owners. All is decorated to a good standard and crucially important, it is spotlessly clean. Faultless! The breakfast is gorgeous and my special request for Earl Grey tea (and plenty of it, thank you) was warmly provided and greatly appreciated. The location of Ashwood is on one of the access roads into town, as so many are, so be mindful if you are sensitive to slight road noises. I would expect the rooms facing over the valley to be better in this respect. Although Ashwood appears to be on the outskirts of town, in reality, the walk to the seafront is quicker and shorter than you would expect. Admittedly, going back will feel a little longer! There is a bus stop close by, if you are so inclined. During my three night stay, it was unusually quiet at Ashwood and indeed everywhere else in Torquay from what I noticed. The weather has been miserable for so long, but surely the 2024 summer season can't be that far away. I would suggest any weather in Torquay, is better than any weather at home. Highly recommend.

No dislikes, sorry.

I enjoyed the location and the superb view. It was close to the train station, with a bus stop in front of the guesthouse. I had a pleasant stay thanks to the warm welcome by Clare and Stuart. Room was excellent and very clean and comfortable Clare gave some great tips for exploring the area of Torbay. I would definitely recommend Ashwood Grange to anyone 😀

I only wished I could stay longer as it was only for a couple of days.

Location, the view from the room and balcony.Very friendly owners, dedicated and always ready to make our stay perfect.The breakfast was prepared fresh and warm, we had a chance to choose from many options. The room was clean, the basket always full with coffee, tea, milk and biscuits. I like the living room with the old fashioned furniture and the garden view. I like when places are like home not just accommodation,I this was just like that.

Really enjoyed my recent stay at the Ashwood Grange. Was warmly greeted upon arrival by the owner Stuart. I found him to be very friendly and helpful. I didn’t book breakfast’s, so never came into contact with the owner again. But he did mention, should I need anything, or am in any need of assistance with anything I only need to ring the bell in reception. I didn’t need to though. The hotel has recently had new carpets fitted throughout the reception, stairs, and landing. So was all very clean and plush. The carpet in my room I don’t think it was new, but not far off, it looked very clean and up to date. In fact all the decor looked very modern compared to other hotels I’ve stayed in in Torquay. Plenty of space to store clothes. The double bed had a big solid wooden frame and comfy mattress, and fresh pillows. Just one fitted sheet on the bottom, with a quilt cover and quilt inside on top. That’s how I have it at home, so seemed homely and comfortable to me. There was a little armchair, so you can watch a bit of tv in comfort. The en-suite was spotless and fresh, no early signs of mould or any deterioration whatsoever. Same as the whole hotel really, absolutely spotlessly clean with a pleasant aroma around the place. If you are without a car the hotel is situated on the bus route into the Torquay town and then it goes onto Paignton, Goodrington and Brixham, one way, and Newton Abbot the other way, with a bus every 10 mins. The bus stops are practically outside the hotel (both ways). Or the town is about a 20 mins walk. I’ve been visiting Torquay for at least the last 15 years and stayed at many hotels. There was one other hotel that came close to matching Ashwood Granges re standards, but Ashwood Grange has now surpassed that one in my estimations. I found it that comfortable I just didn’t want to leave! I do hope I get to stay in this wonderful hotel again.

Honestly, no negatives whatsoever with my stay in this hotel.

Had a lovely 4 night stay at the end of February/early March. Hotel is in a superb position slightly out of the hustle and bustle of the town but really well connected with bus stops right outside that take you through the town to Paignton in one direction and Newton Abbot the other, also just 3 minutes walk from Torre railway station which takes you along the coast to Exeter and beyond. The room was lovely, a really comfy bed, nice shower and spotlessly clean. Cooked breakfast each day was cooked fresh each morning and was yummy, but there were lots of other choices too including cereal, juice, toast etc. All together it was a very relaxing and highly recommended hotel in which I was made to feel very welcome! Thank you, and I will be back soon...

Absolutely nothing, it was brilliant!

I really enjoyed my stay at Ashwood Grange. Clare provided a wonderful service and was really attentive. I would absolutely recommend staying here and if I am ever visiting Torquay again, I will make sure to check if Ashwood Grange is available.

The only minor issue that I had, during my stay, was that the water pressure in the shower was not great but this was not a major problem and would not put me off booking again.

It was an excellent place to stay. I was greeted on arrival by the Host and they were very friendly and welcoming . The room was excellent. High standard of cleanliness. Spacious and the bed was most comfortable. The room was tastefully decorated. 20 mins walk to beach and town centre . Had a lovrely stay. I don't have breakfast but it was available if I needed it. There were good choices on the mmenu. I will definately be returning . Such a friendly and welcoming Host. Thank you Clare and Stuart . Much appreciated.
