The hosts are absolutely amazing. Very welcoming. Very Victorian property. High ceilings. A bit of stair climbing but worth it.

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

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.

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.

The Shelley is a lovely Victorian building full of character. The drive to the small carpark is steep but manageable even with a large estate. The room was clean and tidy with an attention to detail equivalent to a larger upmarket chain with complimentary bottled water, tea, coffee, shoe shine kit, shower cap and the usual shower gel, shampoo and body lotion etc. Much better than a hotel chain was the friendly and personal greeting after our long journey from Nick, who offered us tea on arrival, an explanation of the hotel facilities, including pool and honesty bar, plus local amenities. Although we opted for the traditional English breakfast there is plenty of choice on the breakfast menu. Our order was taken by Nick and served by Chen, both of whom showed genuine interest in our stay in Torquay. Three options of toast with home made marmalade finished breakfast of nicely. Overall, a great experience worthy of a longer stay. There are great restaurants nearby to suit a variety of tastes, with Bianco's, Jingles and Legends at Steps are worth a try.

The Shirley is in an excellent location just off Babbacombe Rd for many of the restaurants in Torquay, & is an easy walk into town. The building itself is impressive & the rooms are spacious & clean. Our bed was excellent if you like it vey firm. The quality of service is excellent as are the breakfasts, with a large selection available to cover most tastes. Would definitely stay again.
