The hosts, Nick & Chen, were amiable but not intrusive. The room was nicely appointed & the breakfast was superb. Torquay is a typical British seaside town, nice but somewhat faded, but the surrounding countryside (inc Dartmoor) is stunning

Exceptional Torquay B&B in Torquay
Nick & Chen the owners of The Shirley Guest House were very welcoming and helpful and service at breakfast second to none. Nick's scrambled eggs are the best eggs Ive ever had on all my holidays in this country and abroad. The walk into Torquay is 10 mins and plenty of restaurants just 5 mins walk around the corner and recommend the Chinese restuarant for a lovely meal.

Nice B & B in Torquay near good restaurants.
Good value B&B. Owners Nic and Chen are lovely people and could not be more accommodating. The room was adequate for a couple. The shower only on-suite was OK. Unfortunately we had to tIe up the very loose shower head to have a shower. I also disliked the glass shelf above the wash basin as it was nigh on impossible to lower your face to wash or rinse after cleaning teeth. We didn't complain though as this sort of thing is regularly encountered in our experience of hotels and you just get on with it if you can. The hotel swimming pool is unusable, though still advertised as a hotel facility. The owner Nic, plans to fill it in. The breakfast was very good with plenty of choice. The owners catered for most needs very well. Nothing was too much trouble. The hotel was near the bottom of a hill, a short but steep walk up from Torquay harbour. Once reached though you had to climb the hotel's steps, leaving you breathless. Good car parking was off road in the hotel grounds. There were good restaurants nearby.
