Maison pleine de charme
Tout était parfait. Hôte très accueillant, petit déjeuner très bon. Seul bemol : qualité de la literie et taille du lit (140 pour deux). Taille de la chambre un peu juste pour trois (couple avec enfants)

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

Exceptional Torquay B&B in Torquay
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.

Nice B & B in Torquay near good restaurants.
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.

Top of the hill five minutes walk from town
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.

Hotel was within easy walking distance of the sea
A very welcoming host and the hotel was clean and spacious.Breakfast was excellent with a variety of choices.Even though the hotel is up a hill it wasn't difficult to walk down to the front.The only downside was that parking could be a problem when the hotel is full.

Værelset lidt slidte look opvejes helt klart af den gæstfrihed værtsparret havde. Man følte sig klart sat tilbage til falwty Towers ment på den gode måde. Ville klart komme tilbage hvis vi skulle besøge området igen. Dejlig english breakfast.

Could have been a disaster- but quite the opposite
While booking online through Expedia it was not clear at any stage that this hotel was not deemed suitable for young children. So when we turned up with a 5.5 yr old we faced the prospect of having nowhere to stay after a 7 hour train journey. The owner was calm and flexible and explained he was happy to take us and explained possible safety concerns- these were minor and we have a sensible daughter so we were happy to stay. Room was clean and regularly serviced to a good standard. Breakfasts were above average with plenty of options. Good quiet location but very close to amenities and attractions. The staff were friendly and very knowledgeable about local attractions, transport, etc. Would happily go back and would recommend to others- But shame on Expedia for not flagging up the issues with children. Would advise all parents to contact hotel directly when travelling with children- Expedia search engines don't always filter out the unsuitable locations.

Friendly B&B - great find!
The room was very cosy, clean, well presented and surprisingly soundproof (our neighbours liked their TV on loud but you could not hear it inside the room). The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. We have very awkward dietary requirements; we are both vegetarians and one of us is dairy free and the other gluten free. They provided us with soya milk for the drink making facilities in our room and provided us with gluten free/dairy free breakfasts in the mornings. Sometimes the breakfast service was a little slow but this is understandable as the B&B was fairly busy and the owner had only recently taken the place over. I am very grateful for everything they did as it is rare for anywhere to go to this trouble for us and our awkwardness. The hotel is in a quieter area of Torquay but still close enough to easily visit most attractions on foot. Would definitely recommend staying here to others.

Very comfortable and VFM. Be careful if you use the guest house parking, it's limited spacing and the incline is fairly steep. However that doesn't take away the enjoyable stay.
