“Can't wait to go back”

Superb decor with fantastic use of mirrors, soft furnishings and plate glass. Delighted to find such a sophisticated hotel in Torquay.

“Little used path”

Brilliant walks along public footpaths to small cove , cliff tops and over downs accessed via fairly hidden path from hotel garden. Views from balconies to rear of hotel superb.

“Great Torquay Hotel”

Our stay in the Gleneagles Hotel was very pleasant. The hotel managers and staff were friendly and extremely helpful. There was a modern comfortable bar and restaurant with a good ambience and great view, which easily catered to our rather odd mealtimes. We enjoyed the hotel location; a short walk from Kents Cavern, Ansteys Cove and Redgate Beach and with good access to the South West coastal path. It's also convenient for the shopping and restaurants of the Strand. While our fairly small room felt a little cramped, it was comfortable and we enjoyed having a balcony. And the hotel was also very accomodating about allowing our dog to stay for a small extra charge. Overall we felt this was a very good hotel which left us with with an excellent impression of Torquay and we will definitely go back.

“Breakfast could be better”

Nice hotel and very good staff / service. Only criticism is the breakfast. Plenty of choice and ample amount to fill you up but its let down by the quality of the food used and on some days the cooking. Not very nice sausages and bacon could do with a bit longer in the pan. Would also have been nice to to help yourself to coffee.

“OK for the price”

This was a one night stay for business at a budget price - and unlike some budget hotels this was a good one. Certainly a friendly and hepful staff and clean, presentable surroundings. The rooms were small but so was the budget so no complaints there! And the evening meal - excellent. I would go back for the food!

“Not So Fawlty Anymore!!”

Fun to stay at the hotel that was the inspiration for Fawlty Towers!!

“A nice hotel in Torquay”

We just stayed at the Gleneagles for one night, we will stay again next time we are in Torquay. It was excellent value and will recommend to all my friends.We had a few drinks in the bar and a meal in the restaurant. the food and service was very good and not too expensive.

“Gleneagles, Torquay”

Room was comfortable with a lovely sea view. Staff friendly and prices very reasonable.

“Enjoyed my stay.”

The room decor was a little 'tired' but the staff was chirpy and helpful and overall I enjoyed my stay and will consider Gleneagles when I plan my next visit to Torquay.

“Moderate”

I only found out after I had arrived that this had been the inspiration for Fawlty Towers, but it seems the staff try to live up to it. The decor is gawdy and nasty, my room tiny. I mentioned I had a BWestern Gold Card and the guy at reception wasn't interested. He went on chomping his dinner whilst, 15 minutes too late, told me I could not eat myself as the (incredibly overpriced) restaurant took no new orders from 8.30 pm !! Exciting place !!
