The installations were more like a big house rather than a hotel but the stuff was absolutely amazing. They really took care of the details. The breakfast was done at the moment we were sitting, homemade and delicious. Such a nice place really recommended.
We Recently Stayed at The Purple Tree Guest House with our Golden Retriever Colin and had a great stay. We Found Ian and Debs very friendly and helpful
My daughter and I stayed for a few nightsfrom 5 August 2019. The room at the back of the building was delightful. Comfortably furnished with a lovely bathroom. Spectacular view out across Torquay.
The owners made us very welcome and gave us some good tips on places to visit. We're hoping to be back this August with my daughter's 2 children.... Lockdown permitting.
