Wonderful - 4.5 out of 5

Perry Sun, 1 December 2024

We enjoyed our break, were...

Liked: My wife and I were met on arrival by co-host Nick who, together with wife Chen, run the hotel. Everything was explained clearly and with good information. Could not have been more helpful and very easy going and friendly. We were given a room upgrade and the room was very nice indeed. TWO comfy chairs (much welcomed, for us think this is important ). The room was very clean and nicely decorated and the bathroom was very nicely done. Plenty of hot water and plenty of light and the room was nice and warm, this was November after all. We met Chen during breakfast times and she was lovely and friendly and the breakfast was also very nice, with varied menu options (which you choose the day before). The hotel itself is an attractive and interesting old building just far enough away from the harbour and centre to be quiet but still within easy reach. There are some very nice restaurants close by and we like this part of town. The double bed was also very comfortable and everything in the room worked.
Disliked: Nothing we didn't like about the hotel or hosts. However, the hotel is situated in a hilly area and if you are poor on your feet (I suffered a heavy cold before and during our stay and felt quite weak at times) the walk to the hotel from the town/harbour can be stretching. Of course, we could always have used the car but that would have been too easy!

Great hosts, great location, great...

Liked: Nick and Chen are the most wonderful hosts who go above and beyond to ensure your stay is as comfortable as possible. Nick telephoned me prior to my trip to warn me of roadworks and advise of a better route to take, he was also present on my arrival and made myself and my husband a very welcome pot of tea! We met Chen at breakfast the next morning which we could not fault, Chen was attentive and nothing was too much trouble.Many thanks to you both !
Disliked: The driveway was very steep so a handrail could be useful to less able bodied guests to prevent a fall but that is being very picky !

Most enjoyable would book again

Liked: Excellent hosts, friendly, extremely quiet location, very clean and comfortable
Disliked: Bit of a treck up a hill by foot from the harbour, however, we knew this when we made the booking. This was compensated by the quiet location

Lovely traditional b&b

Liked: We had a great stay at the Shirley from the moment we arrived. Nick very kindly let us check in slightly early as we had to go to a wedding. The room was comfortable and clean with a lovely en suite bathroom. Plus they provide fresh milk for teas in a mini fridge which was a really nice touch. Breakfast was very tasty with locally sourced meat and eggs, we will stay again if we visit Torquay.
