Chanced upon this hotel on a late booking and so glad we did. The welcome was prompt and friendly but professional. As the short formality of booking in was carried out the cases were taken to the room. We were then shown around before being escorted to our room. The room was a revelation – spacious, tastefully furnished, and immaculate,... more

I have stayed in many hotels around the world, including certain iconic ones (like the Raffles in Singapore for example). The Marstan capitalises on its strengths like no place I have seen. The hosts were extraordinarily accommodating. Check-in was a dream. No formal desk- Ian took us to an austere lounge where he played piano for my little girl for... more

I found this hotel after looking at reviews on TripAdvisor and wasn't let down. We stayed there for a wedding anniversary and a last weekend away before our baby came. The place was immaculate, well organised, well styled and comfortable. The bed was so comfortable, which is rare, as well as a good shower. The service was impeccable. We were... more

From entry to departure we thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. This is the ideal place for couples , especially for a romantic getaway, in beautiful setting. Craig and Ian greeted us each morning for breakfast which was magnificent. We shall definately be going back. more

When you stay at The Marstan you feel like you are staying at a gracious English home. The personalised service, and elegant decor, make this a memorable travel experience. Both Ian & Craig go out of their way to ensure guests' needs are accommodated. Be prepared to add a few extra kilos to your weight if you stay more than... more

My family and I had a wonderful stay at the Marstan Hotel during our visit to Torquay in March. We can't remember ever visiting a hotel as welcoming or immaculately clean. Our happy visit was largely due to the owners, Ian and Craig. Nothing was too much trouble for them and they looked after us so well. The breakfast deserves... more

“Hello, do come in.” The smile and warm welcome lifted what was otherwise a dull February afternoon. We went through to book in. There was not the usual high counter acting as some sort of fortress for the staff to hide behind but a marble topped table in the drawing room beside a boudoir grand piano. I was offered some... more

Quite simply stunning, I love nothing better than leaving behind the common, and very familiar and dull chain of hotels i normally stay in, and finding a beautiful independent place like the Marstan. It’s so full of character and warmth, fantastic personal service from Craig and Ian, clean rooms to the highest standards. Just loved the baby grand piano, and... more

My better half was born in Torquay and whilst she often talks about it this was our first visit together. I had not been to this area since I was a child but I had some happy memories and despite what you might read on other sites this area is well worth visiting. Our trip was primarily to attend a... more
