Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We had a great stay here. Phill and Garry are very friendly and accommodating. Phill joined us for a drink in the very well stocked bar which was lovely. We had a balcony suite which was very spacious with a really comfortable bed. Breakfast was delicious with plenty on offer. We will definitely come here again.

From the moment we arrived we knew it was going to be lovely.Phillip welcomed us with a smile and made us welcome from the get go.He advised us on where to eat and was just happy to help.our room was beautifully decorated and clean.(The only thing i missed was a full length mirror.)The bed was huge and very comfy! The honesty bar is a fabulous idea although we didn't use it this visit we did look in and the bar was incredibly well stocked and again,beautifully decorated...you have an eye for decor! We had a brief chat with Gary in passing and he was lovely too...and the breakfast was fabulous!! Thank you to the young lady serving..she worked really hard and did so with a smile.Nothing was too much trouble.We would highly recommend The Torcroft and will definitely go back! Thank you guys. Jason and Debbie Moore. X

We stayed here for a friends birthday weekend and had a fabulous time. Phil and Gary were the perfect hosts and the blueberry pancakes for brekkie were amazing. Our room (no.6) was beautiful - extremely comfy bed, huge bathroom and incredibly clean. I can't wait to come back to the Torcroft in the future.

My husband and I stayed here over Christmas. Following an arduous drive, we were met with such a warm welcome. We knew immediately that we had chosen a special place to spend the festive holiday. Our room was spacious and beautifully decorated. The bed was big and comfortable and we had a gorgeous balcony. Gary and Phil were the best hosts, charming and friendly. The breakfasts were superb. The Torcroft is a beautiful building, with a touch of historic glamour and a fabulous honesty bar. We highly recommend this lovely place for your trip to Torquay. We will definitely be going back.

Phil and Gary, the owners, were incredibly friendly. Patti and Punkie, the owner's dogs, are very adorable. The delicious breakfast, along with the naturally warm atmosphere, made our 4-night Christmas stay with 4 people truly enjoyable. Highly recommend this cozy place!

We returned to The Torcroft as we had enjoyed our last visit so much .Everything was as good as last time, especially rhe breakfast! Gary somehow manages to remember the names of all the guests! Our room was spacious with a really comfortable and huge bed. Everything was perfect and I cant imagine staying anywhere else in Torqay now we have found this gem! Both Gary and Phil seem genuinely concerned thst their guests are happy and enjoy their time at The Torcroft.
