Kelly was a wonderful host who clearly takes so much pride in her property. The room I had was comfortable with a great shower. I had the window open overnight due to the heatwave but it was lovelt and quiet all night. Would definitely visit again!

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Checked in- cash .£120 for 2 nights.The pool is fab. My single room was so small.There was no wardrobe. Dunelm Dungeon. Slept well. The shower would not work. It was stuck. I told staff.Breakfast was nice. I went back to my room. The heating was on. I felt claustrophobic for the 1st time in my life. The room was so pokey. Right by the front door of the hotel- noisy.Guests could look in on you.Had a good day, became aware there were better rooms in Torquay available for the same price. I rang to see if I could be put in a different room at Glenorlleigh or be released from my contract. I explained I thought the room was like a prison cell. The manager was booking in new arrivals.Agreed to call back in 10 mins. She didn’t pick up five times. In voicemails I repeated my problem with the room. When I did eventually speak to her she accused me of being rude about her B&B and taking advantage of her because she was on her own.She called police and directed that I should leave ASAP. I should take up the refund issue with Expedia despite the fact that I had paid cash in adv. Eventually she said I could have a refund. I returned to the hotel to collect my belongings.She had changed her mind again. I would need to take up the issue of a refund with Expedia. She was dealing with other guests as I came to collect my property. She was hostile and intimidating to me. I felt vulnerable so fled.I left town, I then realised I still had the room key.She began to bombard me with calls.

Very pleasant stay
Very good B and B. The owner was very friendly, and so were her staff. Breakfasts were excellent. Only very small downside, there’s not a great deal of on site parking. The swimming pool is a big positive, even if you don’t use the pool there is a lovely terrace to sit and have a drink overlooking the pool.

I had read a lot of excellent reviews and my visit didn’t disappoint. We had a lovely time. The heated pool was amazing and the breakfast cooked to order was fantastic. The games room and facilities were great. The location was really convenient - walking distance to the sea front and shops. We’ll definitely be back - thanks so much Kelly!

A huge thank you to Kelly for making our stay a very pleasant one. As soon as we arrived we had a very warm welcome and even our little daughter felt right at home. The room was a nice size and there was a guest living room & lovely dining area and heated outdoor pool. Breakfast was delicious and was cooked immaculately by Kelly. Would definitely recommend this guest house if anyone is visiting Torquay.

Amazingly friendly and helpful staff
From the moment we arrived to the time of departure, nothing was too much trouble for Kelly and her girls. We brought our own milk due to intolerances and we were allowed to help ourselves when needed from their fridge. The breakfasts were very filling with everything from cereals and toast, to fruit salad and full English. We had a couple of takeaways and Kelly phoned in the order to avoid paying a delivery charge. The pool was a great bonus with plenty of sunbeds/chairs, and inflatables for the kids (big and small) and pool towels are provided. There's a sitting room with TV and dvd player and a Wii games console. A pool table is available too. A small but very well stocked bar is here too. The room we stayed in was a good size with a double and a single bed. TV, tea/coffee and plenty of storage space. The bathroom was on the snug size but manageable. We all slept very well. I don't know how Kelly manages to run such a great b&b with such a small crew but she's certainly a natural.
