The room was very clean, the welcome was warm, and even though hot food is not allowed in the rooms, we were very pleased with the effort that Tim and Vicky went to to set up for us to have a takeaway dinner in the dining area. The location is great - literally around the corner from Torre Abbey, gardens, and the beach, marina and high street are not too far also.

We had the most wonderful 3-night stay. This B&B is a shining example of how a place should be run. The owners Tim & Vicky have put so much effort into the small details that make all the difference—from the pristine room and comfy bed to the fantastic, high-quality breakfast. Every corner of the property shows care and attention. It was a truly relaxing and special experience for us as a couple. Highly, highly recommended

Super Seven Nights

Arrived Saturday 07/06/2025, during a torrential downpour but Tim was at the door with a warm welcome, swiftly followed by Vicky.
We were pleasantly surprised to be upgraded to room one. This room overlooks the front of the property with an extremely large sash window, which makes the room nice and bright.
The room itself is very large with king sized+ double bed fully furnished. Wardrobe, dressing table + stool, chest of drawers, tv, 2 chairs, coffee table and a hospitality of tea , coffee, sugar, milk, biscuits, hot chocolate, bottle of water. All of which are replenished as required on a daily basis.
Ensuite bathroom, shower over bath, heated towel rail, toiletries (shampoo/shower gel, conditioner, hand wash, body lotion).
Breakfast consists of a selection of cereals, yogurts, fruits. Followed by fresh fully cooked choice of eggs, bacon, sausage, fresh tomatoes, mushrooms, hash browns, beans and toast. Plus tea or coffee. Alternatives are fresh fruit, mini pastries. Whatever breakfast you choose you will not need to eat till your evening meal. This breakfast is cooked to perfection by Tim and delivered to your table by the ever efficient Vicky. We stayed for 7 nights and the service never wavered from excellent.
Location: Only 5 - 10 minutes flat walk to sea front and local to a variety of local shops. Less than 5 minutes to Torre Abbey.
Support a local independent guest house & book your next visit to Torquay at the excellent Brandize Guest House. Colin and Jennifer Bird

Lovely little hotel!

Lovely stay recently at the Brandize. Set back about a 5-10 minute walk from the sea front in a lovely quiet location just past Torre Abbey.

Tim and Vicky were perfect hosts and couldn't do enough for us, pointing out the local points of interest and where to dine out. We also got upgraded to a slightly bigger room facing the front which was perfect to come back to each evening with the sun shining through the windows.

Fantastic breakfasts and service too!!

Thank you Tim and Vicky for a really enjoyable stay.

Fantastic Guest House

Had a fantastic stay. The owners are very friendly and everything you could need is provided. Our room was very clean ,spacious and well equipped. Location is good with a short walk to the sea front and the town centre. Sadly we didn't get a chance to sample the breakfast as we had to head off early as we were doing a marathon but the choice looked great. We would definitely stay again when we are in teh area.

Lovely stay at The Brandize

The Brandize Guest House was in a great spot just a 20 minute walk to the harbour and restaurants.
The Brandize was very clean and the breakfast was cooked to perfection.
I would definitely stay again.
The only negative comments I would make would be -
All the courses of breakfast came almost at the same time and we would have liked some time between the courses to digest the food and relax a bit.
We ran out of toilet paper on the last day as it hadn’t been replenished when the room was refreshed the day before.
Check in was a bit disorganised and not as friendly, welcome and informative as we would have liked.
Tim and Vicky are new to the business but I feel they would have benefitted from some help and advice before they started to run the guesthouse.
Well done guys but please be a bit more welcoming on check in x

We had a wonderfull stay here, Mandy and Aiden made us feel very welcomed upon arrival through to the end of our holiday, the breakfast was delicious and we enjoyed each day sitting in their front garden in the sunshine. The Hotel is close to museum, eateries, bars and beach and harbour and just a short drive away from other amenities. I would definitely recommend staying here and hope to return again Wishing Mandy and Aiden all the best in the buisness and there future.

We couldn't have had a warmer welcome here and we had a really pleasant stay. Our room was comfortable and appealing with a nice view of a tree just outside. There is a small shady garden with a bench where you can sit outside too. The Brandize is an easy walk to the sea and you can take a route through the Torre Abbey grounds. Mandy and Aidan have only recently taken over this property and have plans to revamp and reorganise. The public areas are pleasant but a facelift is due, as they recognise. I would have liked a non-slip mat for the shower and maybe larger cups at breakfast- they were very small, meaning I had to cross over to the buffet for refills. However, it was a lovely weekend stay, our hosts were engaging and I would definitely return.

Best Torquay B&B I've stayed in.

The Brandize is very tastefully decorated and furnished, kept immaculately and is comfortable. It's also very well situated and has easy parking, which a lot of Torquay accommodation doesn't! I've stayed in a number over the years when I've been working on events close by and it's certainly the best I've stayed in.
