Abingdon House

We stayed overnight as we drove along the coast in summer. Our room was beautiful and very comfortable with everything we needed. Our hosts were marvellous. They ensured we had everything we needed and gave recommendations for the local area. We enjoyed having a chat with them in the evening and would happily recommend their beautiful place as a great place to stay.

Wonderful holiday, 5 day stay, owners both very welcoming, nothing was too much trouble for both of them, breakfast lovely, rooms clean. Close to town centre and ocean front and theatre.

Immaculately clean rooms. Scott and Helen were very friendly and accommodating with our late arrival. Delicious and beautifully cooked breakfast. Comfortable bed, roomy accommodation. Hosts were very helpful with local information too. Guest house is very conveniently situated for Torquay sea front and we had a very pleasant stay. Loved the small but adequate fridge in the dressing area, and the made to order slate coasters.

Warm and friendly welcome, great hosts, great food and comfortable rooms.

Helen and Scott were extremely welcoming and the room was outstanding. The bed was very comfortable and we had an amazing sleep. The shower was constant and the ensuite was spacious. We had to fill in breakfast requests the day of check in and what was ordered was cooked to perfection and hot. The quality of the produce was exceptional. The fruit salad option was freshly prepared. Would highly recommend a stay here.

We wouldn't hesitate to recommend the Abingdon to other travellers - we had two nights here to go to a concert at the Princess Theatre in Torquay. It was about 20 minutes walk to the theatre but very pleasant through Torre Abbey Gardens and along the sea front. Our room was very clean and pleasant, every attention to detail was included - we had homemade cup cakes in the room on arrival, mini fridge with real milk (not the long life cartons), bottled water. We visited on one of the hottest days of the year so the inclusion of a tower fan in the room was very much appreciated. Scott and Helen were great hosts and the food was excellent, with plenty of choice for breakfast. We will definitely use this as a base when we return to Torquay again, especially with the free parking.

Brilliant place to stay polite and friendly hosts, spotlessly clean throughout the house, nine and freshly decorated rooms and a great bathroom.Super breakfast and extremely tasty.would highly recomend . Convenient for a short walk to the centre of Torquay and the beach.

Lovely stay, really nice guest house, one of the nicest breakfasts I’ve ever had. Thankyou

Lovely room... smaller than looks in the pictures (just a large bedroom), but hella comfy bed and the air purifier was a life saver for those hot nights. Good walking distance from town - not too far that it became effort but kept you away from the hustle and bustle at night time. Not to mention extremely welcoming hosts!

Enjoyable stay at the Abingdon House. Food and service is excellent. Excellent and professional hosts, nothing too much trouble. We would happily stay here again.

A very clean and tidy hotel. Comfortable, spacious room with a kingsize bed,large en-suite bathroom and lovely breakfast. Excellent value!

Second visit. Mike and Anne are wonderful hosts and can’t do enough for you. The rooms are lovely and very comfortable. I would highly recommend the Abingdon to anyone. Large choice of breakfast and wonderfully cooked.

We were visiting the area to visit family. Owners obviously take a real pride in their establishment and greeted us with a smile, offer of a hot drink and cake and a welcome to the area. There is parking out front and our king size double bedded room was just what we required for a base during our stay. Nice en-suite facilities and a good size flat screen TV with freeview as well. Will certainly look to stay again when we visit family. Oh, almost forgot, lovely breakfast, basically will cook or provide whatever you want

The couple who run the hotel were very welcoming and accommodating. Lovely room , clean and comfortable. I would definitely use go again.

Hotel was close to main road and garage 24 hours which made it very noisey in the evenings. Staff was ok but didnt say bye when we left hotel.

Super room , comfy excellent bed ( duvet cover inside out !) dusty room in places , excellent shower . Breakfast very good quality but could have been offered more tea and toast . Nevertheless would definitely stay there again .

Good location away from the main hustle & bustle but only 15 mins to seafront & main attractions.

Torquay has an abundance of B&Bs and we were lucky enough to select an excellent one. The property has been stylishly renovated/decorated and the rooms are very comfortable. There are nice touches such as a free bottle of drinking water for each guest each day and a chocolate 'on each pillow' each night. There is also a bowl of candy on the in-room amenities tray. Breakfast in very good with several choices about what to have to make it 'full'. A useful compendium of things to see and do in the area, in particular a list of the activities/sights that the owners enjoy. In addition, there is a wide range of brochures (on the landing) promoting activities in the area. Janet, who runs Abingdon with her husband, was very friendly and chatty and willing and able to help planning a day out. The only (slight) negative is that the property is a little out of town so it is quite a long walk to restaurants and shops. It's pleasant enough on a nice day and passes some of the major sites in Torquay. Perhaps in recognition of the location, Janet offers evening meals, if ordered in advance. If you're befuddled with choice for a B&B in Torquay, stay at Abingdon.

Hotel was very conveniently located, and the greeting was full of warmth. Room was spacious and light, and of course very clean Breakfast was served with a smile and the food was excellent.

There are plenty of lovely, "extras" but the most memorable was being attended to and made to feel welcome by the proprietors throughout my stay.
