We recently stayed here for 4 nights, and could not wish for better accommodation or hosts. Our room was on the ground floor which was brilliant as I have arthritis and struggle with stairs. The room was lovely and cosy, and the bed was so comfortable. Our hosts Billy and Shona were amazing, we received a cup of tea on arrival, nothing was too much trouble for them, they are such a lovely couple. There is a little seating area at the front of the property which was ideal to sit and relax after a busy day. The breakfasts were lovely and freshly cooked, my husband really enjoyed his full English. We would highly recommend Abingdon House, and will definitely be returning.

There is nothing at all to dislike! I suppose the only small thing is that the parking can be a bit tight, but obviously that can't be helped, and Billy was kind enough to move his car on our arrival to make room for us. But we didn't have a problem as we only used the car once during our stay.

This property is owned by Billy and Shona who were very friendly and welcoming hosts. Our room was very clean with a nice powerful shower in a roomy bathroom. The WiFi was good and we had a streaming TV so we could watch Netflix etc. Breakfast was very nice, we selected what we wanted the previous day and it was freshly cooked by Billy the following morning. The property is located on a main road about 15 mins walk from the beach and 10 mins from Torre Abbey. Free car parking is also available. If we are in the Torquay area again we would definitely come back here.

There was nothing to dislike. it was very nice.

The welcome from our host, Shona, she is very friendly, warm and approachable. Shona showed us to our room, explained room specifics etc. Breakfast, cooked by Billy, was fantastic. Felt awful as I couldn't eat all plated up for me, needless to say my partner ate everything! Both Billy and Shona were friendly and helpful, and knowledgeable about the area too.

There wasn't anything to say we did not like, we were extremely satisfied with our stay and when in the area next, we will (hopefully) stay with Billy and Shona again (subject to availability only).

The host at the property could not have been more welcoming and accommodating. We travelled and stayed there during the recent heatwave and the lady had placed some fans in the room to help try and keep us cool. We requested to have breakfast early and outside of the normal breakfast hours and this was no problem at all. The breakfast was amazing. The bed was comfy, the hotel was really clean! Would definitely recommend and stay there again.

Shona and Billie were the perfect hosts who were keen to satisfy any requirements we had. The breakfasts were excellent and the en-suite room had all the usual facilities including extra's such as mini fridge and even needle and thread! The location was great being only a 10 minute walk to Torre Abbey Sands Beach where their is an array of restaurants/bars.

Everything! From the moment we arrived until the time we departed, our hosts, Shona and Billie could not have been more attentive to our needs. The breakfasts were exceptional for the quality and choice. My gluten free requirements were catered for completely- including biscuits in our room. Nothing was too much trouble. Our room was spotlessly clean and the bed was very comfortable. Tea, coffee and biscuits were regularly replenished. We would unreservedly recommend Abingdon House!

Nothing.

The hosts were very friendly and had a good knowledge of the area. The food was fresh, good quality, very well presented and plenty of it. The room was well appointed, with everything you could need. The location was ideal for traveling around.

The beds were a little on the small size for us. The room was also a little small, but we'll fitted out, so no real issue.

Location was great. Breakfast was exceptional, and hosts were outstanding. Hospitality 10/10. Hosts couldn't do enough for us. Very attentive, and informal about recommendations for places to eat and visit.

Wouldn't change anything. It was perfect and very well organised and thought out - for the benefit of everyone.

We loved our stay at Abingdon House. The hosts Shona and Billy are both lovely people and nothing too much trouble. Breakfast was absolutely amazing _- easily the best I've had this year. Room was very clean and well equipped, comfy beds. Whole house was lovely. If we stay in Torquay again, we will stay here!

Helen and Scott were great hosts attentive and cheerful and nothing was too much trouble. The room and bathroom were immaculately presented with fresh milk in the little fridge and homemade cupcakes on the dresser. There was a good range of breakfast choices with the same attention to detail given to the dining facilities as with the room.

The 24hour service station opposite was a little disturbing during the nights but this was dealt with by closing the, useful to have, blackout blind and the window.
