“We booked very last minute, due to an unforeseen problem with our holiday cottage. When we arrived it was literally 5 mis before they stopped serving food BUT the chap said I'll go and ask the chef .,. He did and we enjoyed a very hearty excellent steak and ale pie each. Absolutely delicious, nothing too much trouble. Breakfast cooked to order and v attentive staff throughout.”
“Gary and Phil were the perfect hosts, very welcoming and easy to talk to, their hospitality was amazing, the room it's self was perfect, clean and modern, breakfast like everything else was faultless. Lovely garden too. If you choose to stay anywhere in Torquay, you wouldn't find a better place than here. ”
“We were in room 1.
It was immaculate, big comfy bed
Fantastic shower, tea and coffee and a well stocked kitchen that was spotlessly clean.
Alexa in kitchen to enjoy music if required.
Access was easy and instructions regarding everything were in the folder in the room.
Really enjoyed our stay would definitely stay again and recommend as well to family and friends.”
“Jo the care taker is very nice and friendly to give whatever help and advice needed for a visitor new to the place. The room is clean and in fact the whole building seems to have just been renovated.”
“A little gem. Had a fantastic weekend stay at The Smugglers. From the minute we checked in to the moment we left, the staff made us very welcome. The restaurant served superb steaks cooked on their charcoal grill.
thank you Mark and Emily and all the staff. They are a real credit to your hard work in making this hotel a lovely place to unwind and relax. Andrew and Sam”
“A delightful place to stay. Right on the sea with a splendid terrace. Restaurant, bar service, swimming pools, a gym and lots of free parking. A splendid hotel for a base to explore south Devon.
A lift is available for most floors.”
“The accommodation was excellent 👌 and the staff were very friendly and very polite the food was excellent and cooked fresh the surrounding area was very picturesque and serene well recommended stay ”
“Really lovely little hotel (12 rooms?). Beautifully and tastefully decorated.
Location very convenient for Torquay but far enough away from the noise.
Beautiful 19th century property.
Hosts very friendly, everyone greeted at breakfast by their names - how do they remember everyone's name??!
Lovely breakfast all made to order - good variety.
Would definitely stay again if in Torquay.
We booked through expedia but worth looking at booking direct.”
“Room was very comfortable, staff are friendly, foods is excellent. But, it needs improvement in car park facilities, an additional staff for parking may be better at peak season.”
“A really warm welcome into a great property.
It was greatly appreciated that our request for a swift breakfast was met, and good food it was too! Will stay again when coming to Torquay.”
“We loved our brief stay here. The staff were very friendly & the rooms were comfortable & clean. Very nice breakfast served with plenty of choice too. 5-10 walk to the sea, cannot fault a thing. If we visit Torquay again we’ll stay here. ”
“We stayed overnight as we drove along the coast in summer. Our room was beautiful and very comfortable with everything we needed. Our hosts were marvellous. They ensured we had everything we needed and gave recommendations for the local area. We enjoyed having a chat with them in the evening and would happily recommend their beautiful place as a great place to stay.”
“Great communication from the owner Tom from the beginning as he phoned us in the morning to help us navigate through the road closures due to the air show and thousands of people attending. Had a lovely stay, comfy bed and great location. Would recommend and visit again. Just how a family owned guest house should be. ”
