Clean tidy close to everything and parking was great
Great location and very quiet at night
Liz and Paul were great hosts . The room was clean and fresh and the location was perfect for what we wanted . Would definitely return and recommend.
Nothing
Breakfast freshly cooked and very good selection. Lovely clean property. Owners very friendly and accommodating. Very happy to recommend
Our room / bathroom was 'cosy' so very small. However, we did book lastminute and the hotel was otherwise fully booked so for a couple of days it was fine
Superb host, clean room, great mattress, most definitely recommend this B&B.
All good.
Very clean and tidy ideal location
Comfortable, lovely breakfast to start our day. Liz and Paul very friendly.
Breakfast was superb Location ok 10 min walk to town bars nearby for evening meals
We had a really lovely stay at Trelawney in Torquay. Our room was spotlessly clean, comfortable and had everything we needed for a pleasant stay. What really stood out to us was how warm and welcoming Liz was. When we first arrived, we actually found Liz down on all fours scrubbing something from the tiles — and we immediately thought, “Yep, we're in good hands!” It was a genuine little moment that showed how much pride she takes in keeping the place clean and well looked after. We appreciated the trust and flexibility around payment. It’s not often you stay somewhere where you aren't asked to pay everything upfront and are simply trusted to settle it in your own time. That small gesture made us feel very welcome. Although our room was on the roadside, we were pleasantly surprised by how quiet it became at night. We had no trouble sleeping at all.
great location close to the sea and shops and restaurants, friendly owners, comfy beds, a fan in the room which is very helpful in warm summer days, also the room is very quiet when the windows are completely shut (my twin room is facing the busy main street so could be noisy if leave the window open, for those who prefer air ventilation, please bring ear plugs)
the on site parking is very limited so most likely you need to park on the nearby street (it’s free), sometime when nearby streets are fully parked you may have to park even further away, but this is just a pure luck thing; also the water pressure in the shower is quite low so it takes longer to shower but manageable
Trato muy amable y natural, ambos, ella y él, cuidan el detalle y a los clientes. Las habitaciones súper limpias. El desayuno (english breakfast) te lo hacen en el momento: zumos, fruta recién cortada en trozos, cereales, yogurt, todo disponible, además de té y café de máquina. Hotel pequeño, pero absolutamente aconsejable.
Paul and liz are execeptional hosts the attention to detail they put in is fantastic deffinetly would be happy to stay at trelawney hotel when i return to torquay thanks again paul and liz your hotel is wonderful
Having to come home
The guest house was really lovely,perfect location,room was big,clean and tidy,only issue was parking but we found a place on a side street which is free and unrestricted so was perfect,left car there for 5 days with no issue at all, Liz was lovely, we had a great stay X

Remek elhelyezkedés, rengeteg virággal, gyönyörűen rendben tartott, minőségien bútorozott kis hotel, a fürdőszoba kényelmes méretű, a szállásadók segítőkészek és kedvesek.
Nem volt ilyen.
We were welcomed wonderfully, the hotel is very atmospheric and clean, the room is very comfortable, and the breakfast is excellent
Everything was great
We had a lovely 2 night stay at Trelawney Hotel. Perfect hotel in a perfect location for exploring Torquay!

Breakfast was very nice, well cooked, good range of choice.
Nothing, all good
Perfect location, Liz and Paul were the perfect hosts, room was outstanding, cleanliness 10 out of 10, breakfast was absolutely delicious 😋, couldn't fault a thing, will definitely recommend and we will be returning 😀.
Extremely friendly hosts, Paul and Liz made us feel so welcome and were very helpful with parking and any other questions we had. Well equipped facilities in our rooms, nice and clean and well presented. Everything we needed. Great location close to the town and harbour, just a few minutes walk away. Exceptional breakfast, great booking system for breakfast when we arrived and very easy to amend if required. The next time we visit Torquay we will definitely be booking Trelawney Hotel again.
Nothing it was all great.
Lovely clean hotel. Liz & Paul good hosts . Nice breakfast. Centrally located
Needed black out curtains
The Trelawney from the outside is beautiful, the front is planted with beautiful flowers and there isxsomewhere to sit. On entering you notice how exceptionally clean the hotel is, Liz and Paul are great hosts, very friendly and helpful. Liz took us through everything we needed to know. The room was lovely, well decorated and very clean, plenty of tea and coffee. The bathroom was of a good size, the shower cubicle was a little small but that is because I am carrying extra pounds and nothing to do with the shower! Breakfast was lovely and had all you could want. Liz and Paul run this together and keep it to an extremely high standard. There is a little walk down to the promenade but not to difficult. Overall a lovely place to stay and would definitely encourage .others to stay here. There was a fan in the room also which was good considering the lovely weather
There was nothing that i didn't like. Would definitely stay here again.
Venue was exceptionally clean with a great choice of breakfast options. Room was spacious and adequate with plenty of tea and coffee available
Bit of a climb up the stairs to the top floor, but we took our time and managed.
Location close to facilities. Very comfy bed. Clean linen and room. Tea and coffee available in the room. Presented well with beautiful floral display to greet us on arrival.
Parking difficult.
Very clean and nice staff. Short walking distance to sea front. Great breakfast
Very clean and tidy
Lovely friendly host. Clean and well presented.
It was extremely hot in the room, even with the fan on. It was still hard to sleep.
Everything, it’s been a long time since I stayed at a hotel that everything was perfect we liked it so much we came back the following night and booked a second stay
Room was cleaned and comfy little walk to bars and restaurants.
Shower was weak
You know when people say this is a great place to stay and you look at the reviews and you automatically think can this be true as there is so many and in the back of your mind you think it can't be, well I can say with certainty all the reviews are true, what a really great, clean safe place to stay, breakfast wow, the owners could not do more, from the text message saying have a safe trip to giving us plenty of local knowledge where to visit etc., to making sure you got home to say thank you,thats personal service, for example we wanted some cold water, so we got some and waiting for us was a mini fridge so we could out in the room. We will definitely be staying with them again. In our opinion you can't get service, cleanliness and value for money,like they offer. Thank you, we had a great time
It was very clean and comfortable and, easy to get to everything.
Everything was great
The best breakfast we have had for a very long time. A cooked breakfast that was faultless.
I couldn't find any fault.
The owners were very friendly exceptionally clean good location good value for money
Nothing
The room was very clean, presentable and nicely decorated, we went with the breakfast option and it was quite good.
nothing really, everything was really good.
Lovely landlady very helpful room beautiful great location 😀
High stairs to top floor
What a gem. Myself and my mum had a lovely six days. We each had a superior double. Rooms were spotless. Plenty of wardrobe and drawer space. A nice lounge area with a mini bar. A lovely seating area at the front. Location was great. 5 minutes walk to the front. Owners were so friendly and welcoming. Will definitely be booking for next year.
My partner and i had a wonderful weekends stay at the Trelawney Hotel, From the moment we arrived, the owner made us feel genuinely welcome and couldn't have been more helpful. Our room was spotlessly clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a relaxing break. Although we chose not to have breakfast and opted for a lay in,all the other guests we spoke to,said it was excellent and they would highly recommend it,they have an easy pre order option,where you can choose everything you would like the night before too. The bar area is DIY with various alcoholic and non alcoholic beverages to which they operate an honesty box system,all proceeds of which go to local charities,The hotel's location is ideal—just a short walk from the seafront, town centre, and local attractions, making it a perfect base for exploring Torquay.
Limited private car parking,yet we managed to plenty of free on road parking,just around the corner,on arrival Liz gave us a map of all the available local parking spots.
Liz and paul were lovely hosts. The area itself was also very nice. Our room was lovely and we were only a 5 minute walk away from the pier. I would 100% recommend the hotel to my friends and family. We look forward to staying there again soon.
Shower pressure was a bit weak but it was noted the second we raised the concern, everything else was perfect.
We can definitely recommend The Trelawney Hotel. The location was exactly where we wanted, close to beach, 15 minutes walk to marina. Bus stops right outside. The guest house was spotless, hosts Paul and Liz were lovely. Breakfast set you up for the day. Room was impressive. We will definitely be going back.
We loved the fact that we were staying in a quaint Victorian style building.
The only thing that would deter us from staying here, and only in the hot summer months, would be that there is no air conditioning. However, it's very clear in the summary of facilities and there are fans available.
Location friendly owner and very clean must be the cleanest Hotel we have ever stayed at.
Room was hot but there was a desk fan and a mini fridge on request which helped keeping my insulin cool during the exceptionally hot weather.
Clean, tidy , bright and welcoming
Lots of stairs if in the top floor .. but that is the old building .. worth the climb for the view ..
Liz and Paul were lovely hosts, knowledgeable about the area and very friendly and helpful. Room was lovely and spotlessly clean, on the second floor with a sea view. I had scrambled eggs for breakfast and they were perfect. Definitely be my first choice of place to stay next time I visit Torquay.
Posizione ottimale, personale gentile e accogliente. Struttura adeguata. Ottimo prezzo
Close to the harbour, also you can catch the Torquay land train just outside. For anyone who wants to ride it. Lovely seated area out the front.
Clean, comfortable, great breakfast, well located. Friendly and responsive hoist.
All good. No issues.
Well decorated and clean
My only grumble was the fact that the twin room was at the top of the 4th floor but it kept us fit!
Emaculate premises, fabulous breakfast ,host couldn't do enough to make your stay comfortable and enjoyable,,never have we seen a honesty bar ,was very impressive,,will definitely stay again ,and recommend to family and friends ,,,,,x
Can't say there was anything we didn't like ,to be honest ,
Lovely hotel, lovely hosts, lovely room, lovely breakfast. Close to everything, beach/town/ buses.
Nothing
Really nicely decorated modern rooms, and nicely situated hotel in Torquay. Will definitely be back.
The owners liz and paul were very helpful and pleasant . The location was perfect for me and the room i was in number 7 was spot on and very comfy
To be honest cant say anything bad about it
Brilliant b&b lovely and clean and the hosta were so friendly and welcoming. Breakfast was beautiful. Will definitely be back
Lovely owners, breakfast quality excellent, honesty bar.
Nothing to dislike. Great value.little gem.
Liz and Paul could not of done more too make us welcome, the room was lovely and immaculate, everywhere was spotless and as it should be, lovely location 5 minutes from the front so nice and quiet aswell, the breakfast was lovely and perfectly cooked, we really didn't want to leave, can't wait for our next visit, pete and Sarah, Cheltenham
Liz and Paul were fantastic hosts - very fruendly and helpful. We were given an upgrade on our room without requesting it which was a wonderful, kind touch. The room was immaculate as was the onsuite shower room. I am very particukar about ckeanliness and it didnt disappoint at all. Would definately recommend.

Very good breakfast, a very clean and comfortable place, lovely owners and very helpful
It was a lovely room and the bed was very comfortable
The first night I stayed in the b n b (which btw is a b n b it's not by any means a hotel!!) was terrible I was woken up at around 11.40ish to hear a woman screaming from the floor above asking for help! Had no idea what on earth was going on so I stayed in my room only to hear an ambulance arrive around 25mins later and a load of noise going outside my room as they dealt with the drama that was unfolding downstairs... It only became apparent that something odd had occurred when my partner and I went down to go out and get breakfast somewhere else, after all the performance going on the night before I wasn't extra happy about having a breakfast at the BnB/hotel! I saw the owner and asked her what on earth had happened and why there were signs saying not to use the bannisters as they had broken and that's apparently why the man was taken to hospital the night prior according to the lady I spoke to in the morning. So all in it was not the most pleasant experience and i am still yet to receive any sort of apology from either booking.com or the owners.

Sehr nette Gastgeberin. Eine saubere und gemütliche Unterkunft inklusive leckerem Frühstück!
Liz & Paul were excellent hosts. Polite, and nothing was too much trouble.
Nothing!
Good location and nice breakfast.
Thumbnail picture on booking does not represent the hotel and there are only 2 parking places. Although there is plenty of street parking within 5min walk
Really lovely central location. We attended the SWCC cheer competition and it was ideal for that location within walking distance.

Very welcoming & friendly, lovely & clean & just a short walk to the sea front & into town. would stay again if we ever return to torquay.
There was nothing we didn't like
Location is very well very close to town hall and marine. Hostel is like a home confort. Owner landlady Liz is very good and helpful. Breakfast is good as well.
Check out time is bit early would be perfect if it is 11 am for us.
A really lovely independent hotel, beautiful exterior with an immaculate frontage, lovely hanging baskets, very inviting. Liz was very welcoming. We arrived early and it was not a problem to check in, get our key then we were free to do what we wanted. The room was small but immaculate, perfect for two of us with a reasonable size en suite, tea and coffee facilities in the room. We would definitely recommend and come back again.
Breakfast was excellent
It was perfect
It was ok. Breakfast pleasant except the smell of cigarettes on staff
Stank of smoke in entrance hall and corridors despite no smoking signs. Staff obviously heavy smokers as they too smelt strongly of cigarette smoke It was the only thing that spoilt our stay. friendly and welcoming staff
Excellent breakfast choice & quality. Exceptionally clean rooms with everything you need. Paul & Liz are warm, friendly, attentive & always around if you need anything. The best B&B we’ve stayed at.
Very neat and clean. We were at the back of the hotel which was lovely and quiet. Bedroom was compact but had everything we needed. We really liked the cosy front lounge and honesty bar. Front “kerb appeal” to the property was exceptional. Great location for local amenities and only a short walk to the promenade.
Lack of on site parking but that wasn’t really a problem as there were plenty of side streets near by.
The rooms we had were impeccable. Cleanliness is of the highest standard. Breakfast was very good, and we could change the cooked element daily if need be. Highly recommend.
Breakfast excellent
I got what I asked for.
Room a little small.
There was a good variety of cereals fresh fruit yogurts Lovely coffee The cooked breakfast was excellent
The location was brilliant breakfast was exceptional and the staff were lovely.
This hotel is excellent for walking to Torquay and the food is excellent
Excellent
Had a lovely two night break. Nice touch with the honesty bar, with all profits going to charity 👍
Maybe biscuits in room
Good breakfast, location good for our trip.
Very friendly owners and lovely little place to stop
The Room was lovely, clean and spacious . We only dealt with Liz and she was very friendly and welcoming . I would have given 10 but the pillows needed upgrading .
The pillows.
Super clean with a lovely breakfast
Nothing
Everything - very clean and comfortable en-suite room with an excellent, freshly cooked breakfast of choice complementing the well stocked breakfast bar. Very engaging and friendly host in Liz. Key fob provided for all door access a great facility. Honesty bar a novel addition, good to learn that profits from which go to charity!
Nothing to dislike - apart from the gradient of the road walking back from the town! (Well beyond the responsibility of the owners)
The property was conveniently located to get into Torquay on foot and also handy to get out to all the interesting and beautiful places and beyond. There are many restaurants and food outlets nearby and good entertainment including theatres. Liz and Paul were perfect hosts and nothing was too much trouble. The room was very clean and nicely decorated with lovely high ceilings. We had a tv, kettle and tea, coffee etc and a lovely clean and spacious shower room and wc. Our room was quiet and we could access the property at any time with a key fob. There was a self serve mini bar in the lounge which was useful. Breakfast was very nice with a cooked breakfast on offer as well as a self service tea, coffee area with fresh fruit, cereals and yogurt. I particularly enjoyed the Marmite sachets although that might too much for some 😂. My wife and I would definitely go back there when we explore the area more. Thank you Liz and Paul for lovely relaxing stay.
Nothing
Lovely clean hotel, easy going, come and go as you like, nice vibes, good location, bright and airy nice couple, great breakfast
Could use more parking 😁
Very clean and preaceful
Although the original paymemt came out trough booking. Before we left we had to pay the same amount agian. So we payed double but recvied booking payment back. This could have been very difficult for us. Luckily i had just been paid. But it was my remt money. Inconvienient for those who dont have much.
Brilliant location, handy for Torquay seafront, beautiful building, the room was big and bright, beautifully decorated and very comfortable. Home from home for a weary traveller ❤️
I overslept because the bed was so comfortable 💤 Nothing else to say.
Stayed for 3 nights great stay very comfortable breakfast was very nice would do it again like 👍
Bed was comfortable Room was very small although we paid for not the smallest room We were greeted by the owner
Radiator wasn't on, was cold Credit card payment didn't work had to get cash Car parking was really difficult for our large car Too early checkout 10am Not allowed to exit the guest house with all our bags at the back where the car park is. Had to carry them all the way from the front to the back - husband has a hernia so very hard for us
The hosts were friendly and welcoming. The room and bedding were very clean and the breakfast really good.
The only thing that let it down was the bathroom. It was very small and the bath definitely needs replacing.
Very clean and tidy,exstreamley comfortable.
Love it 😘
The warm welcome from Liz, the little information pack on bus routes and local sights. Her personal recommendations of local seafood restaurants was very good. The comfortable bed and brightly decorated room. The location to the beach, harbour and shops and eateries was amazing. Value for money, definitely. Will be back in the future
Great priced well looked after little hotel. No complaints.
The room was very clean, spacious and nice. Liz was a very lovely person and host very polite. The breakfast was very good and filling. Will definitely visit again.
It's not something that can be helped due to the type of accommodation and type of room we booked, ( four poster) however my partner found the stairs hard due to an injury. The stairs seemed to be steeper on the second level to our room that little bit more challenging than them on the first level, having said that he was still happy as I was with the overall stay
3 night stay. Lovely hotel in a perfect location, just a short walk to the sea front. The Hotel was spotlessly clean with all amenities catered for. The cooked breakfast was also very good and freshly prepared. Other options were also available. Would 100% recommend Trelawney and would happily return.
Good location - very neat and clean
The size of the room was lovely and big and very clean
