A good location to explore Torquay, Babbacombe and the surrounding area.
Very well maintained clean place, car parking in front of the building.
Very convenient location to the centre/harbour ( less than 10 mins by car).
Darren & Jo are very helpful and friendly hosts.
Nice breakfast, pre order the night before and it's served right on time, delicious.
We were very happy staying there!

I've travelled up and down the country and stayed in many places - this ranks up there as one of the best, if not the best.

A warm welcome from Jo who showed me to my room, explained all the details etc - pre-ordering breakfast I always find a great idea.

The room (room 8) was superb - good sized, comfortable bed, excellent sized bathroom (great shower) and the addition of a fridge was especially useful. With the exceptionally hot weather, the fan was a God send as well.

Breakfast was superb and Jo and Darren do a superb job - great hosts who you can count as friends.

It's also handily located - good off-road parking (if you get stuck, there's plenty of on-street parking nearby) and a 15-20 minute walk to the seafront.

When I next stay in Torquay, this will be the first place I'll look for.

Midweek getaway

Had a fantastic stay for a couple nights. Nothing was to much trouble and the rooms were so clean and tidy with some lovely little touches. When we arrived a little early it was no trouble at all and was made so welcome.
Would definitely recommend staying as we would stay again.

Our hidden gem

We had an amazing weekend stay with Yvonne and Jamie. They were so hospitable and friendly. It's the small things, plus the attention to detail that count. We celebrated our anniversary, and they really helped to make the day special, with little treats at breakfast. We would definitely stay again and recommend this guest house to anyone. You won't be disappointed. Our very own hidden gem, with a 5-star personal touch - thank you guys!

Great stay, We could not fault it in anyway, very helpful. And if your worried its a little bit to far to walk to the town centre, a taxi cost £5 Either that or a nice walk of about 50min to the town centre, or 25min to the beach.

Simply Sublime

Located ten minutes walk from the beach, this hotel has a great location but its excellent, attentive staff are by far the best quality. Very conscious of our food intolerances and incredibly friendly, the couple that run the place chat to every single one of their guests and are just fantastically welcoming. Full of helpful local knowledge and willing to call in local favours too (they offered to ring a local taxi firm and try to get a discount rather than let another guest at the hotel struggle with the trains).
The room was comfortable and spacious and the bathroom was of a good quality with a powerful shower (I love a power shower).
Breakfast time is a little short (just an hour) but it makes you get up and get going and you will, because you don't want to miss out on the cooked breakfast you can get yourself.
All in all, a fantastic place to stay. Next time I'm in the area, I will be coming here.

Spot on place to stay in Torquay

From the moment I arrived and was greeted by Claire - I was made to feel welcome and looked-after. My room was big with a truly King Size bed that was comfy so with that and the total peace I slept like a log!
Breakfast by Dave was tasty and generous so set me up for the day ahead for sure.
I loved the decor and the bathroom had a great shower and not one of those silly electric things - it was a full on soaking!
The location is also great with just a 5min walk to the sea front and on to great places to eat and watch the bay. If they have availability - snap it up!

We stayed at the Mount Edgcombe Hotel - Guest house during a business trip to Devon for four nights, the hotel is professionally run and a short walk into the centre of Torquay. We booked two rooms and four managers stayed throughout.
Our rooms were immaculate and maintained on a daily basis, comfortable and generous in size with a good range of facilities.
The hosts David and Pam were really friendly and helpful, and we were made very welcome, they really did go that extra mile.
Breakfast was great freshly prepared and made to order, lots of choice and one not to be missed. I highly recommend the hotel .

Ideal location for getting to all the local attractions e.g.beach,harbour,town centre and for traveling to the

The owner Pam will do all she can to make your stay a happy one.I mentioned I had an interest in art
and the next day there were brochures in our room showing details of local art shows.
We had a very happy week in a comfortable quiet room with a very large soft bed.

Ample towels of the good quality. and after making use of these, we partook of a wonderful breakfast. Our hosts were very informative of the surrounding area and had numerous leaflets for our daily excursions. A must is the trip by boat to Dartmout..

Great for a short break

The hotelier was really friendly, when we arrived he showed us to our room then made us a very welcome cup of tea (with cake)! He was very helpful with local information and very approachable.
The room (and bathroom) was spotlessly clean - we had the room with the whirlpool bath which was fab. I scored the room a 4 as I would have preferred a king bed to a double however the bed very comfortable, and there was ample space to hang/put away your things.
Breakfast was good and plentiful - and exactly what we ordered (you have a choice card to complete the night before). They also do evening meals and packed lunches, we did not have these but it was nice to know this service was available.
I would certainly consider staying here again.
