Had a 5 night stay at Haven House Torquay and after a long 5 hour drive I was warmly welcomed by Mel and shown to my room. The room was clean and well furnished, and I had everything I needed for my stay. Parking was free on the street. The B&B is in a quiet location and only a 10 minute walk from the promenade. With just 6 rooms it is a small B&B with rooms downstairs and upstairs, just one flight of stairs. There is an excellent variety of breakfast options each morning with Mel front of house and Alistair cooking. The fried breakfast was utterly delicious every morning with quality produce and cooked to perfection. Plenty of tea, coffee, toast, juice and fruit to choose from as well. My room was refreshed every day and a really nice touch was the two Celebrations every time I returned to my room. It was a wonderful stay with the perfect hosts and a lovely B&B. Highly recommend Haven House.

Ideal for a short stay

We stayed here here for one night and I would recommend. The people were very friendly and had lots of info on the local area. The room was basic and the shower needs updating but everything was pretty clean and the bed comfortable.

Lovely little room to stay with friendly host

Really lovely clean room and great hospitality throughout, great choice of selection for breakfasts and condiments in your room. Would definitely come back and stay again. Only problem we had was as we found the pillows to thin, this is just a minor preference.

Feel like at home

It was absolutely beautiful experience. Alistair and Mel did everything to make our short stay as comfortable as it was possible. Our room had everything you need such as: hot shower, comfortable bed, tea/coffee/fresh water, TV e.t.c. The breakfast was 10 of 10! The location of the hotel is super! It is very close to the center but at the same time quite and easy to find a parking place for your car. The guys were very helpful with the information. We would definitely stay there again and recommend to our friends and anyone! Thank you very much! xx

Very friendly hosts, quiet room, superb breakfast

Friendly welcome and helpful advice about local attractions and eating places. Nice clean room; bed a bit soft for our taste, but plenty of hot water, and bottled water provided in the room besides tea and coffee. Very good location, quiet road with free parking, within easy walking distance of the beach and town centre. Superb breakfast! Great value.

Lovely Guest House

Amazing welcome from a lovely couple. Made us feel immediately at home. The small double room was more than adequate for a long weekend away. Breakfast was amazing. Location just a short walk away from the beach, centre and bus stops to take you anywhere around Torbay. Free street parking available in abundance and parking for guests behind the B&B. This was our second stay here and we will definitely be back!!
