Amazing Bed and Breakfast. The owners could not do enough for you and were so kind. Great location, beautiful bedrooms, and so clean and tidy. The breakfasts were out of this world, you name it, they offer it. Would definitely recommend to anyone, families especially.
Kim
Very enjoyable stay
From start to finish everything was spot on. We arrived early and we were allowed to leave our car on site. The room was really nice very spacious and spotlessly clean lovely fluffy white towels and fresh clean bedding with a very comfortable bed. The breakfast we had on our 2nd day and it was realy enjoyable full english or various other choices if required. There was cereals fresh fruit, yoghurts toast and all sorts of spreads jams marmite peanut butter etc plenty of choices for everyone, fruit juices and fresh coffee and tea. One of the best breakfasts I have ever had. Kul the manager was a very nice friendly man and could not do enough for you I most certainly would return and would highly recommend. Thank you Kul for your very warm hospitality.
Samantha-Jane
What a lovely break😉
My partner and I stayed 4 night's at this hotel and even before our arrival I was corresponding with the owner Kul.
What a lovely and welcoming person Kul is, as on the day of our arrival we were greeted warmly and given a welcome drink as well as instructions on our stay.
Nothing was to much and if you wanted to change food items for your breakfast (as we both did), it was highly recommended.
We would both definitely stay again, if visiting Torquay.
Kul and his family are homely, genuine, hard-working and honest people and in this day and age, these are qualities which are so hard to find.
You should be very proud of what you have achieved Kul and it was a pleasure staying at your establishment and getting to know you.

Little gem
Clean and quiet. Rooms spacious and good decor. Breakfast excellent, feast like a king. Owners hospitality excellent.
Small niggle, cups could be bigger for tea and coffee. Free parking, a little tight but easy walking access to beach, bars and dining.
Enjoyable stay, would return.

Horrendous
Awful room was freezing cold!! Very rude staff! Held against our will verbally abused and threatened intimidated and shouted at aggressively was entrapped in a room and wasn’t allowed to leave the property!! Wouldn’t recommend at all!

Very warm welcome and extremely helpful proprietor.
Couldn’t do enough to accommodate my needs.
Breakfast was top class . They really go the extra half mile.
Free parking is a bonus these days.

Whilst the staff were friendly, the property clean it was dated and tired looking. I think the young man could have better presented himself in terms of cleanliness, his t-shirt was not clean. He did not say where breakfast was. Apart from that he was very pleasant. His father more so and well presented. The bathroom was quite small and shower hand held. Overall for the price good and breakfast was great.

Tiny TV
Spacious, clean accommodation. Ideally located for Abbey Park.
Breakfast options were excellent. One of the best in this price range.
The major let down was a tiny 14 inch TV which was 4:3 resolution meaning the picture was minute when displaying a widescreen picture with black bars top and bottom. Input signal was intermittent on some channels.
Wi-Fi suffered occasional drop outs.
Only one key per room which isn't ideal for a twin room.

Breakfast scores 10/10!
Nice hotel with great hosts. Breakfast scores 10/10! Excellent fruit options and homemade yogurt is excellent! Bed comfortable although duvet too small, needed the spare blanket to stay warm. Shower a little small, but excellent hot water every time. Location good, 10-15 walk from town centre.

only one concern, a black hair in the sink. Otherwise very good.

Dated decor, Micro TV, Good breakfast.
Was not aware of my booking on arrival. Was kept waiting then told I can't eat in my room. After some insistence on my part I was shown to my room. Room quite dated with a micro sized TV. Breakfast saved the stay, having been asked the night before what I wanted it arrived promptly and was tasty.
Peter
I have stayed her a few times over the years and the overall standard puts a lot of more expensive hotels to shame. I have stayed twice under the new owners who are a very pleasant and hospitable family where nothing is too much trouble. The English breakfast is superb!
Highly recommended

Very well run hotel
Easy to find, off road parking, quick check in, very good rooms, very good breakfast, superb hosts. The hotel is far enough off the main road to make it a nice and quiet place to stay while being close enough to the sea front. I wish all Hotels that I stayed at were as well run as this one.

Its what you would expect of a typical B&B. The owners were very friendly and seemed to be there to look after you.

a great stay
I was made at home from the first second to the last second nothing was to much for them
Edward
Complete Value
I was made welcome before I arrived, Margaret rang to welcome me and met me on arrival introducing herself and asking whether I knew the area (it was my home town). Her and her husband covered all my needs and were very welcoming and breakfast was excellent. Complete value for money, I visit the area regularly and will return to that guest house.
Christopher
An excellent family-run, four-star guesthouse
Crimdon Dene is a quiet, exceptionally clean and comfortable, traditional guesthouse. The breakfast was excellent, with fantastic personal service. Margaret and John will do their utmost to make your stay a pleasurable one. We kept odd hours, but they worked around our lie-ins after some very late nights / early morning returns from the Casino! The hotel is easy to find, and very accessible, with good parking facilities. Many thanks for a great stay - highly recommended!
Patricia
Five Star Comfort
I was not expecting the delights of Crimdon Dene as it was so economical. Must be the best value in Torquay. Excellent room and superb breakfast. Our conference was at The Riviera Complex and the hotel was perfectly located for the venue. I would highly recommend the establishment.
