Andrea
Loved my stay, as did my dog Ellie! Property was well presented, clean and stocked with everything you need for cooking; toaster, microwave, Ninja air fryer etc. Good size bathroom, with towels provided. Enormous comfy bed! Owner really friendly and welcoming. Location perfect for all the amazing attractions around the Torquay area, all just a short drive away. Didn't really have any noise disturbance from the pub. Dedicated parking space; a couple of times was parked across by pub customers but they were always happy to move, didn't really cause a problem. Highly recommend!

The trouble with leaving good reviews is that the good reviews lead to people booking and leaving me less chance to get in at a decent price. i love the pub, Andrew and Karen are great host`s but its the locals that make the holiday a time to remember. Ideal place to stay for 2 adults and 1 pet .Digby loves his stay here .lots of stuff going on at the pub and the local facilities good. luv Phill & Chris Winners (3rd) in pub quiz

Owners have tried to provide all amenities - with pull out table and two folding chairs, a Ninja dual air fryer (manual available) and combi microwave (no instructions found). Very limited crockery and cooking equipment. Unfortunately noise from adjacent pub went on until 0014, when I had to call out for quiet!
