“This adults-only guest house struck me as a particularly welcoming spot in Torquay, with hosts who clearly prioritize a personal touch. I noted its location is set back from the bustle but still convenient for reaching the train station, and its proximity to key attractions such as the Riviera International Conference Centre and Torre Abbey makes it a practical base. The homemade breakfast and extra comforts, like the honesty bar, really set this place apart.”
