Location was perfect, a short walk to the town, but far enough to be peaceful and quiet, the house and room was perfect, but most of all clean. The pool was an added bonus that was ideal for my 9 yr old to enjoy. For breakfast we had plenty of options every day and we tried it all, it was delicious every day, on one day we had an early start so Lisa prepared it for us the evening before and delivered it to our room ready for us which was extremely helpful. All the guests staying were extremely friendly and our hosts were just wonderful, chatty and very welcoming. We can't wait to visit again

It was a lovely room, very light and airy. It was very clean with a large comfy bed and we both slept really well. The breakfast was great with a good selection of cereal, home made jams and yogurt. The full English was lovely too. The hosts were very friendly and went out of their way to make you feel at home. We had a great stay and would highly recommend it 👌

We didn't realise how far we were away from the town centre as my partner has bad legs we had to get a taxi or bus into town but it didn't put us out too much as we still enjoyed and on the upside it was peaceful.

Lisa and Christophe were very friendly and welcoming. Room was a dog friendly room but you would never have known, as spotlessly clean and no dog smells. Modern bathroom and freshly decorated. Fresh milk in the fridge waiting and water, lovely touch. Slept very well. The breakfast was plentiful and delicious, lots of choices.Superb scrambled eggs and salmon, compliments to the chef! Ideal location for all Torquay has to offer but not in the hustle bustle part, so nice and quiet, just what we wanted. Lovely lounge and outdoor sitting area, pool and garden. Well done both👏👏

Nothing, all good

Room was clean and comfortable, breakfast was excellent and the hosts were lovely. We had a small fridge in the room which was an added bonus. The location was on the outskirts of Torquay town centre but only a leisurely 20 minute walk to the main strip. The buses ran every 10 minutes and the stop was a couple of minutes from the hotel so we didn't use our car at all. You could travel off peak for £3 so we went to Brixham, Paignton and Teignmouth during our stay.

Nothing.

The Breakfast was excellent with locally sourced ingredients, the room & bed very comfortable, shower lovely hot super soft towels & lots of added extras left for us to use ie hairdryer shower gel hair shampoo hand-wash, we would definitely recommend here, and will be back to stay again.

Everything!! The hosts were just so accommodating and would help with any request. Having a mobile number to send messages was so convenient. The breakfast- great system and the food was fresh and so tasty. Facilities- we made use of the pool each day and chilled in the garden. The room- we had the ground floor room with a patio that led to the swimming pool. My son absolutely loved this and great to get on the garden and car park. The room was clean and contained everything that we needed. The bathroom was a good size and with a decent shower. The toiletries were amazing- quality and not cheap. Location- short drive from the heart of Torquay.

Nothing- everything was great for us.

The Charterhouse is a gem of a place to stay. It is on a very quiet road which is lovely to come back to after a night out in the busy town. Parking was on site with no problems with coming and going. Lisa, our host, was so very welcoming nothing was too much trouble for her. Our room was beautifully clean and well presented with plenty of tea, coffee, hot chocolate and bottled water on arrival, and replenished frequently. We had one of the 2 garden rooms with our own little patio and table and chairs which was such an added bonus. The swimming pool was lovely, again very clean and looked after. The breakfast menu was exceptional thanks to Christoph. There was a selection of cereals, yoghurt, jams and marmalades all sourced from local farms etc. There is a great bus service at the bottom of the road numbers 12 and 22 which will take you straight into town or the opposite way into Paignton. Thank you again Lisa and Christoph. An absolute wonderful stay.

The people running the place were charming and couldn't do enough to help us, from suggestions of great local places to refills on the complementary tea coffee and milk. The room was charming and clean with decent facilities and plenty of storage space. The pool was unfortunately closed as we visited in the off season but I can imagine that being a real treat during the summer months. The location was superb, an easy walk into town along the shore front and right next to the main bus lines if you were travelling further.

Breakfast was very good and varied. Areas to sit and unwind along with a small swimming pool which was great at the end of a day out. The hotel was near the promenade in a nice quiet residential area.

Lots of steps and incline from the car park which we were unaware of and as we our seventies we struggled with our cases.We also found it tiring at the end of the day.
