Nydelig, hjemmekoselig og delvis luksuriøst opphold
Service. Elegansen i bygget. Beliggenheten. Maten.
Litt dårlige/ukomfortable senger, om en ønsker ekstra barnesenger.

Well located close to the centre of Torquay. Beautiful building and public rooms.
There is a programme to renovate the rooms over the coming period which is currently in progress.
