Cosy rooms
The trees in the front garden. Too tricky to park your car
Everything was very clean and comfortable 😊 The breakfast and the service provided were exceptional 👌 A big thank you to our hosts Ian and Janette😊 We absolutely enjoyed our stay 😊
Hospitality was excellent. Stay here for the second time now with my parents and son. The rooms are clean and spacious, the breakfast is exceptional and the hosts could do more for you. I highly recommend to anyone wanting to stay in Torquay.

We stayed at three different BnBs during our vacation, and the Glendower was by far the best experience. Our hosts were very friendly and the breakfast was outstanding. Highly recommended.
After the Glendower the kids were disappointed by the other BnBs/hotels we stayed at.
Very welcoming and helpful. Excellent breakfast.

Great location, wonderful hosts, room was comfy - really did feel like a home from home - I had a horrendous walk getting to it and they saved the day entirely with the lovely hospitality and room. I was given tea and biscuits when I arrived, had fresh cold water in my room waiting and was given fresh milk for my room too. Lovely hosts made me feel welcomed. Breakfast this morning was great, sat down, offered tea or coffee (had a cafetière of lovely coffee), brought toast and butter and then ordered and ate a fabulous locally sourced full English (really good menu options too). Just what I needed to turn around a dodgy start to a holiday. Thank you!

Topontbijt en ontvangst. Propere, ruime kamers. Wandelafstand van centrum en strand Parking voor de deur of in de straat, gratis Koffie en thee op de kamer
The breakfast and location were both excellent.
The food was fantastic.It felt like it had been lovingly cooked and presented by a professional.You could have a daily special if you wanted to which I didn't expect.It felt a good step up from eating a run of the mill breakfast.The hosts were great.You felt that nothing was too much trouble for them.They aim to please.
Very present stay Janette and Ian great hosts ,room very clean and tidy, full English Breakfast was amazing there is other options on menu, I would highly recommend..thank you Neil & Gina
Everything
Both Ian and Janette was very welcoming and we enjoyed our stay very much and the breakfast was very nice and the kids enjoyed their pan cakes. The rooms was lovely too and the little touches with the foxes mints and sweets the kids also loved. We would all defo stay here again if we came back to Torquay.
The only thing i would say is that i wish i had somewhere where i could cook lunch and dinner as eating out became quite expensive but for a bed and breakfast the hotel was great.
Excellent place,that is very well run.Bedroom spacious and clean with a large selection of beverages availabe with fresh milk supplied daily Breatdast is very good with a Special ulternative option available if required.
Nothing everything is very good.
Very clean, comfortable and friendly. The breakfasts were delicious and they were very flexible with our orders. They had a special every day, which we loved. Our room was spacious and fit the four of us comfortably. We had en suite and a fridge. You could go down the bar to grab something at any point and just make a note of it. We also used the restaurant for takeaways on a couple of nights.
Warm welcome from the owners when I arrived and they ensured my motorcycle was parked in the most secure location in the carpark. Gave me information on the town and best places to eat & visit .
Nothing. The room was only a single as booked but had everything you would need and was clean and comfortable.
Very friendly atmosphere
The breakfast was great especially the specials, had a very nice salad the last night
Nothing
Large room. Ceiling fans kept us cool in this weather also a fridge. Obviously a cherished building. Jeannette and Ian were lovely hosts. Breakfast was superb. Parking spaces available. Strongly recommend this hotel. Can't wait to return.
The cooked breakfasts were excellent, set us up for the day. The location of the B&B was great, close to the beach, public transport, and close enough to walk into the town and harbour, but not so close that you get any noise etc. Janette & Ian were both fab, friendly and extremely helpful.
The room was quite warm but we were in the middle of a heatwave so I can't hold that against anyone!
Virkelig et dejligt hotel med søde ejere som gør meget for, at opholdet bliver behageligt og komfortabelt. Vi havde booket et 4 personers værelse, men ved ankomst tilbød ejer, at vi godt kunne få to separate værelser, ligeledes var det helt i orden, at få værelset før tid. Der er kaffe og te og bisquit, samt kold vand og mælk i termokande på værelset, som stilles i køleskabet. Lækker shampoo og sæbe på badeværelset og selve værelset er dejligt lyst med vifter i loftet og flot indrettet. Morgenmaden er dejlig, frisk frugtsalat, yoghurt, div. cornflakes, forskellig juice og frisk lavet engelsk morgenmad af forskellige slags på bestilling og som er indeholdt i morgenmadsprisen. Mine bedste anbefalinger til Hotel Glendower 🥇❤️👍
Hvad jeg ikke kunne lide, har ikke noget med hotellet at gøre, men at Argentina vandt over England, kunne jeg ikke lide.
Great location & spotlessly clean. I had to leave very early so didn’t have time for breakfast but hosts were very kind and offered me a ‘take-out’
Lovely place with lovely hosts.
Being welcomed with a fresh tea and coffee by host.
Would have like air con as very hot
The welcome I received as I walked through the door and made me feel at home. I arrived earlier than check in time and was able to leave my luggage in the room as it was ready for me. The use of big screen TV in the evenings to watch films and sport down the bar and eat instead of watching a small screen in the room and was able to bring my own drinks down to consume whilst watching TV. The breakfast was delicious each day and they bought bran flakes as I requested before my visit which was very helpful.
Nothing as I enjoyed the stay.

The decor of the B&B was gorgeous and Janette and Ian were really attentive and helpful hosts. The breakfast was lovely and there was a range of cooked breakfasts, cereals and fruit on offer. The range of teas, hot chocolate and biscuits (which were provided in the room) as well as the welcome cup of tea on arrival adds to the high standard provided. The location of the B&B is ideal as the beach is a 5-6 minute walk and the train station is a 6-7 minute walk away with the Torre Museum in close proximity. The main town being about a 25-30 minute walk. The Glendower is definitely the place to stay if you visit Torquay. Many thanks Janette & Ian! 🙂.
Excellent guest house. Proprietors were welcoming and could not do enough for our comfort. Room was lovely, large spacious and airy with everything you needed in the room. Breakfast was excellent. Location perfect. Would definitely stay again.
Everything up to standard.
Nice rooms. Great breakfast. Friendly owners. Short walk to town.
Fabulous welcome which included a cup of tea and some cake. Breakfast was incredible, with white pudding which I appreciated as an Irishman. The hosts were super friendly and accommodating. Wish I could have stayed longer
Nothing
The location is great if you are arriving in Torquay by rail (10 minute walk from station), plus Torre Abbey is very close by. The harbour and main shopping area is also reachable on foot from this hotel. Cooked breakfast options besides the Full English are provided as well as fruit, cereal, toast and yoghurts.
exellent
unable to open windows more
The hosts were friendly. The breakfasts were exceptionally good. The location with parking was very good. Bedrooms large and airy.
Lovely clean and comfortable single room. Lovely people. A fantastic breakfast. And brilliant location.
Very clean freindly staff hosts go above and beyond breakfast was amazing different special each day
Looking at pictures we thought they was a bar but was just a help yourself trolley which we was abit disappointed with
This was a really enjoyable experience for all the family and the hotel accommodation, the staff and the ambience were all delightful. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and need hardly add that the breakfast was superb not just for the adults but for our young grandchildren, too.
all superb - and very comforttable
This is our 3rd/4th stay at Glendower. And we will most definitely be back again. Hosts are very friendly. Facilities are 1st class and the food is fantastic
Coming home
Amazing stay, cant fault it, confortable, clean, modern bedroom. Very friendly hosts, Breakfast was delicoius local sourced produts. Walking distance to town. Definetly will come back and stay.
A wonderful hotel with a warm, family atmosphere! This hotel is incredibly pleasant, and the staff are amazingly polite. Unlike other places where you just feel like a number, here we felt right at home. We were welcomed with tea and coffee, almost as if we were visiting family. The rooms are clean and very spacious, and the breakfast we had was absolutely delicious. A huge and very important bonus for us was the EV charging station – and it's not expensive at all! Anyone driving an electric car will definitely want to stay here. Highly recommended!

The owners were fabulous 👌
Everything to like
A real gem of a place! Rooms were lovely, and they've thought of everything you'd ever need! Fresh milk for the tea/coffee, and a jug of iced water. The hosts were really nice, very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was fabulous, all cooked fresh and plenty of choices. The breakfast room itself was lovely! A really enjoyable way to start the day. Highly recommend!!
There was nothing to not like.

Lovely hosts, clean, everything you need plus extra touches.
From the minute we walked in, we felt at home ,fresh coffee and tea with home made 🎂!! Breakfast was amazing so many choices and combinations. A lovely little honesty bar 🍸. We can't wait to return,thank you Ian and Janette
Nothing to report all great
We stayed at this hotel for two nights and everything been fantastic xx
Breakfast was EXCELLENT, being offered a Special was most unusual, the Shakshouka was delicious and presented well, the following day, Stuffed crispy croissant filled with bacon and cheesy scrambled egg was again delicious. Good choice of fresh berries and fresh fruit to have with Greek yogurt. All freshly done, much better than big hotels. You just had to ask for any combination of breakfast. Hosts were very friendly and welcoming, we were greeted on arrival with tea or coffee and homemade cake and shortbread. We would highly recommend this B&B.
Quality of tea tray,little extra of fresh milk and cold water placed in room
Nothing
The owners were very friendly . Breakfast was superb and there was a great choice . Our show at the Princess theatre was cancelled at the last minute and as soon as Ian and Janette heard this they offered us a substantial reduction when we booked again for later on in the year to see the rearranged show . I stay in many hotels due to my job and I can honestly say this place is very good and the owners care about their hotel and their customers ........ keep up the good work !!
nothing !
Detta var ett jättemysigt ställe! Så fina rum, trevlig personal och god frukost. Jag är så glad att vi bodde här och jag kommer definitivt tillbaka! 🤩
Sollte es was besseres geben, dann ich ganz Ohr!Die feine Qualität bis zur Dekoration, alles beste s😊

The property was beautifully located near the Conference Centre, the main reason I was there…to attend a conference. The seafront is close as are places to eat.
The friendly welcoming hosts. The decor in the room and breakfast room. The little touches like fresh milk in a flask, iced water, biscuits and great choice of drink sachets and a fridge that is put on when requested. Lovely fluffy towels. Comfy beds and very quiet. Great breakfast with blueberries, rasps mixed fruit etc before ordering the hot choices. Full breakfast or salmon or omelettes and more. Really accommodating in letting us park early on the check in day and leave our car after check out.
Shower took a little time to adjust from being too hot. Other than that....nothing!
Great location and excellent breakfast! Very kind staff
Excellent from initial friendly welcome to the final bespoke breakfast. Great, tasteful rooms, considerate about everything from the large details to the tiny ones
The front door handle was a little stiff
Great location, room, breakfast and hosts. Will definitely return.
Warm and friendly atmosphere, welcoming hosts, and delicious breakfast with a large variety of foods for everyone. There is a lovely and informative guide with all the restaurants, transport and popular sites, made for guests. Will definitely come back.

The Glandower was in a perfect location, walking distance to the princess Theatre and Harbour. We would highly recommend it to anyone wanting to stay in Torquay. The staff were lovely and very welcoming and helpful. The breakfast has to be one of the best we’ve ever had.
Everything was great no problems at all.
I expected to like staying here as I had great memories from staying at the Glendower 35 years ago. Very interesting to return and see changes. Really good stay overall. All very enjoyable and I have no problem making a strong recommendation to stay here. My hosts were great. Nice room, good breakfasts. Glendower is very close to the railway station which is helpful. However that means you might be tempted to catch the train to Paignton and eat there (restaurants a lot cheaper). Recommend the Thai restaurant near Paignton station.
Happy with all my stay.
The room was Very clean
The breakfast was very good
The breakfast was cold fresh to order and there was also a good selection of cereal, fruit and juices along with tea and coffee options. Room was clean bed was comfy. Would highly recommended. It’s about a 8 minute walk to the beach.
The hosts were extremely friendly and helpful, the room I stayed in was clean and had everything that I needed. The location was very close to the train station and the breakfast was exceptional, there was a great choice to choose from.
