An excellent guest house. The hosts, Gaynor and Richard, were superb. They were friendly, welcoming and professional. The facilities were excellent. Really good breakfasts too. The Gainsboro would be our first choice if we return to Torquay.
The family room was great because it had separate bedrooms. The room was very clean and the hosts where great people. Plus it was pet free so that was good.
We found Gaynor and Richard who own and run the B&B very Welcoming, Nothing was too much trouble for them.
It was really comfortable and very clean,
The B&B was positioned close to the train station, and quite close to the town centre. I would highly recommend a stay in Torquay at this hotel
We would go back again.
We only stayed a couple of nights at the Gainsboro but we had a lovely time. Richard and Gaynor are extremely friendly, the room was lovely and extremely clean. It was very close to the town centre.
We would definitely go back there and would not hesitate to recommend it.
