Another wonderful stay. Very comfortable, spacious clean rooms. Good quality breakfast. Alec & Sophie are wonderful hosts who go out of their way to help you. Close to the beach, harbour & restaurants.

Very comfortable, spacious and clean accommodation. Good quality breakfast. Easy reach of local restaurants, beaches and the harbour. Excellent customer service. Can’t wait to go back.

Amazing find. Alec & Sophie were So welcoming . Very clean comfortable accommodation & a fab full english breakfast. Great location only 10min walk to front harbour near loads of restaurants. Will defo stay here again & highly recommend

Lovely weekend spent at The Shirley, lovely friendly hosts, a very spacious room, comfortable bed and lovely breakfast. Look forward to returning.

Sehr freundliche neue Betreiber. Warmes Frühstück nach Wahl aus der Menü-Karte wird am Tisch serviert. Es hat gut geschmeckt und wurde immer gefragt, ob man noch was brauche. Zimmer sind in einem guten Zustand, auf unserer zweiwöchigen Reise deutlich schlechtere Unterkünft gehabt.

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

Enjoyed stay at The Shirley. Hotel had lots of character and Nick and Chen both very accomodating hosts. Would stay again!

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.

fantastic hotel, brilliant location, really friendly owners that make you feel very welcome, room we stayed in was a little dated but immaculate and extremly clean, breakfast was superb, definitely recommend

Fantastic stay with great service 👌

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.

Schöne Unterkunft mit super Lage. Leckeres Frühstück frisch nach Bestellung gefertigt. Weiterempfehlung zu 100 Prozent

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.

Lovely Hosts.Very kind.nothing to much trouble yet discreet,Delightful main room,

Vilken gästvänlighet som ägarna visade upp. Lugn och mysig atmosfär. Härlig frukost med lite småprat med ägarna. Baren Hole in the wall från 1540 rekommenderas starkt.

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.

Lovely room and lovely hotel

very good staff friendly and a good full english breakfast the only downside to this hotel was is on a steep hill no good if you got health problems

We had a lovely three nights at the Shirley,there was a happy atmosphere,the proprietors,were always smiling.The breakfast, was second to none.The décor extremely original,rooms excellent.Obviously when they bought this place,they put a lot of thought into it.Yes it on a slope, but where in Torquay,is not.Should we go to Torquay,again I know where we are staying
