Torquay 5* family break

Awesome experience from start to finish! From the very warm and friendly start as we arrived into the Carpark through to the polished 5* full English breakfast, the bank holiday weekend break to Torquay was made into an amazing holiday by our hosts! Our room to top it off had a full panoramic view of the Torquay end of season Fireworks …. which btw rivals London New Years Eve display! Highly recommended stay for families AAA! Also very helpful to have a full size fridge to keep whatever you want cold in the breakfast room! Great job THE BRANTWOOD!

Realistic Re iew

The hosts were lovely, the rooms weren't so great, very tired, i appreciate that the place is up for sale, but attention to detail goes along way. There are also things that cant be dismissed such as a leaky toilet and a broken temperature control on the shower so, it's Hot or Very Hot,

Excellent hotel - highly recommend

We had an amazing mini-moon right after our wedding and couldn't have picked a better bed and breakfast for our getaway. Catherine and Mick were wonderful hosts who made us feel so welcome, and they went out of their way to ensure we had a great stay. They even had some prosecco waiting in our room when we arrived, just like I had asked, and they decorated our room so nicely. It was a truly special experience! The breakfast is amazing and it is such a lovely little hotel. Thank you so much.

A superb, clean and mega friendly place to stay.

Catherine met us and could not be a better host. The room was super clean, very well decorated and all the usual comforts. Breakfast was 8-9 and offered numerous cereals combinations of cooked items including smoked fish. Also left my son’s hat. Catherine called us and even offered to meet us in Paignton where we was stopping off for the day after we left to meet us with it.

Wish we had a longer stay!

We had a very enjoyable albeit brief stay. The beds are comfortable, the vegetarian breakfast was delicious. The room was very clean, our daughter has a dust allergy and she was absolutely fine. Catharine and Chris are excellent hosts.
