Everything about our stay at the Torcroft was great, starting with the location which was great, getting to the marina was a short walk down the hill and along the coast path or alternatively along the rock walk. The room was lovely with a comfy bed and the bar area and breakfast room were both beautifully decorated. The breakfast was fabulous, we stayed long enough to try a lot of the options on their menu and everything was delicious. Gary and Philip were also very lovely hosts and extremely helpful. They made lots of good suggestions for places to visit nearby and thanks to those tips we visited lots of lovely places near Torquay we wouldn't have otherwise thought to visit. We didn't quite manage to visit everywhere they recommended so will definitely be returning in the future!

The Torcroft was up a short incline which was great as many of the hotels/guesthouses are a lot higher up in this quite hilly resort. It was about ten minutes walk on the flat to the town and most of the restaurants although there are a few quite near the hotel. The breakfast was plentiful with a few different choices. There was a lovely honesty bar in the lounge with a fantastic variety of beers, wines and spirits. The owners are a lovely couple of guys who made us feel really welcome.

The room was lovely and comfortable but a bit smaller than we had anticipated for a standard room. Plenty of tea & coffee with fresh milk in the fridge downstairs to help yourself to…although no biccies to have with an afternoon cuppa. The “buffet” part of the breakfast was in fact table service. I personally would have preferred to choose my own buffet food so that I could control how much cereal, etc., I wanted…the portions were quite large. Please note that these are not criticisms, merely my observations and personal choice. This is a fabulous, friendly small hotel and we would definitely visit again.

We the best time at Philip and Gary’s beautifully renovated character B&B. They are both truly wonderful hosts, and nothing is too much trouble for them to keep their guests happy. Our twin room was a good size with great amenities such as a coffee machine and selection of teas. Loved the room decor as well. The private bathroom had rain and standard shower heads and a heated towel rail. The daily breakfast was a highlight with a great selection of cold and hot and cold options. And the honesty bar was a nice touch too. Philip and Gary were very helpful with tips on where to visit and dine. And even thought the weather was not great we had a wonderful time. I’d highly recommend this lovely B&B and cracking hosts!

Nothing at all

Torcroft is in a great location to explore the southwest portion of the UK, the English Rivera, Penzance, St. Michael’s, St. Ives, and Cornwall. This B&B was beautifully restored and impeccably clean. Comfortable rooms, modern bathrooms, delicious breakfast and delightful hosts. Private parking is also a huge plus. Phillip and Gary gave us a great overview of this area providing us with a wide variety of things to enjoy. Truly, we can’t say enough about how much we enjoyed our visit.

Nothing. Everything is amazing!

The Owner Phillip met us on our arrival…. He went through all the procedures at their hotel. He explained all that was on offer from Breakfast choices to drinks at their most Amazing Bar and Refreshments. Also giving us local information and the best restaurants to visit. Our too. Was impeccably clean and fresh. The hotel or boutique was of the most excellent standard. The owners Gary and Phillip along with their 2 dogs have gone above and beyond to ensure their guest experience a truly memorable stay. The breakfast the next morning was simply the best I have ever had being a seasoned stayer I. Hotels and bed and breakfast accommodation for my work. So many choices from homemade yogurt to locally sourced meats. I can 100 % assure you you will not be disappointed staying with these guys who go to any Length to assure your satisfaction and a pleasant stay. We will be going back here for years to come.

There was nothing not to Like about the property.

Gary and Phillip were exceptional hosts. Torcroft was a beautiful, the property is in a great location and it was styled beautifully, such attention to detail throughout the property. The bedrooms had super comfy beds and tastfully styled. The lounge area with a very well stocked bar was a great space to enjoy some down time and a drink after a busy day of exploring. It felt like a home away from home. Gary and Philip were the kindest most enthusiastic hosts l have ever met. They shared their extensive knowledge of the region and helped us design a great itinerary for our day of exploring. Thank you so much for your hospitality we absolutely loved our stay at Torcroft

nothing!

This is a fantastic place to stay and we would highly recommend it. Full of character and beautifully decorated throughout. Gary and Philip are super friendly and genuinely care about you having a great stay. The hotel is immaculate throughout and the bedroom has everything we needed. The bed, pillows and bedding were all top quality and it was very peaceful, given just how great the location is to the sea front. Breakfast was excellent, with top end ingredients and a massive shout out to Izzie who was looked after us at breakfast. She was super efficient, friendly and is a real star. This was our first time staying, but definitely won’t be our last.

A fabulous B&B run by a very friendly couple who are passionate and dedicated to providing their best to please their clients. Attention to detail is clearly very important to them. The whole house is spotlessly clean, freshly decorated and furnished to an excellent standard. Beds are very comfortable with high end bedding and lovely products with white fluffy towels in the bathroom. Breakfast is amazing with more than generous servings of delicious food. Gary and Philip offered excellent advice on where to go and great places to eat. There's nowhere else we'd choose to stay should we visit Torquay in the future.

Absolutely nothing

Everything. Hosts Gary & Philip are 2 of the nicest, friendly and helpful hosts you could wish to meet, nothing is too much trouble. The hotel is gorgeous, lovely decor, spacious and bright. Our room was lovely and had everything we needed. Breakfast was really nice, using quality produce and plenty of choice. The garden area off the bar is a beautiful place to sit, the bar is an honesty bar and there was so much choice there too. If you’re going to a Torquay stay here it’s amazing.

Nothing to not like

Just about everything! Although within very easy walking distance of the seafront/promenade, it was wonderfully peaceful and quiet with lovely indoor spaces and a secluded garden in front. The layout and decor feel contemporary, elegant and the unusually generous dimensions the Victorian house lend an air of discreet charm and luxury. Gary and Philip were very welcoming and made helpful suggestions about places to walk and restaurants. The standard of cleanliness in our bedroom and bathroom was excellent. Our breakfast was freshly prepared and tasted as good as it looked. The attention to every detail was remarkably good.

I really can't think of anything we didn't like. Our stay at The Torcroft exceeded our expectations in all respects.
