The garden at the back of the hotel is kept in pristine condition and it is full of civilised people reading newspapers. It feels straight out of a film from the 60's. The hotel has a lovely calm, quiet and zen feel to it. It is near the sea if you enjoy the beach. Overall I think this is the best hotel/restaurant in the area. I have come here before and I would come here again. Pros: * Lovely garden * Sea view * Bar * Incredible Restaurant * Cozy Cons: * Expensive * Car park is a bit on the small side

We sat outside on the deck area overlooking the gardens and cobb, an amazing viewpoint. The tea arrived with three large warm scones, three large scoops of clotted cream and a large dish of Strawberry Jam, a pot of tea, a pot of hot water, rough brown and white sugar chunks. The quality and choice of location to consume your dorset cream tea at the Alexandra Hotel is excellent and second to none. Worth a visit

From the outside, the Edwardian Guest House looks a bit naff, sorry, but it does. the blue and…read moreyellow paintwork doesn't help much, and neither, at Christmas, do the oversized coloured fairy lights. Still, inside, you pretty much get what you paid for - which is an Edwardian style B & B, for not a lot of outlay. The Edwardian offers quite impressive rooms with four poster beds and nice antique touches, for very reasonable prices, so if really retro is your thing, you'd do worse than to invest in a stay here. Breakfast is a respectable full cooked English or toast and fruit etc, unremarkable but well prepared. The staff are polite and friendly, all in all a very satisfactory service.

Mr CuteBadger and I recently spent 4 nights here and would highly recommend it…read more The Inn is out in the beautiful Devon countryside so is peaceful. As well as the accommodation there's a great pub and a couple of different options for eating. The double room we had was on the small side I must admit, but it contained everything we needed and was very clean and tidy. We had an en suite toilet and shower which was kept spotless throughout our stay. The room had a TV and tea and coffee-making facilities (including bottled water and a good supply of biscuits which was replenished every day). The pub is lovely, with thick stone walls and an open fire. There's no TV or jukebox for those of us who like things relaxed and peaceful. The whole place is family run and it really shows (though there are other staff there too at other times) - everyone was really friendly. The food was great and after the first night we learned not to have a starter as we simply couldn't finish one and then have a main course - this is very unusual for us as we're a pair of fat, greedy Badgers! There was a great range of choices and plenty of options for vegetarians. Breakfast was equally good with lots of choice, including kippers and eggs boiled to your specified time, apart from the usual full English. Prices, for accommodation, drinks and meals, were all reasonable so give it a go if you're in the area.

This was like a beautiful summer day following a cold, dark night. The building was built in the 1860s and carries much of its original charm while serving a new purpose. The only caution is that it's up the hill a bit. But this is Torquay; everything is uphill. We would love to come back yet again (we came once a couple years ago, and returned again for this visit).

The absolutely best part of staying here is the breakfast of fresh fruit and what they call a 'Full English' cooked breakfast. Yummy. Neil and Sally are such interesting innkeepers and couldn't have been more welcoming with their offering of tea and cakes. A very well run B&B, totally clean and very comfortable. We highly recommend that anyone visiting Devon stay at Torcroft.
