Just come back from a short stay at the Shirley Hotel this week. Couldn't have asked for a nicer place to stay. I received a nice welcome and the offer of a cup of tea or coffee as I walked in as well as a friendly, chatty tour of the place. My room was clean, airy and well lit with... More

“Lovely people”

Reviewed 20 May 2013 NEW via mobile

We stayed at The Shirley with friends whilst attending a function at a near by hotel. The hotel is clean and ideally located. The breakfast was excellent and the owners and staff were extremely friendly. The small details such as fresh milk for the rooms and use of DVD's was appreciated. We were however slightly disappointed at the 'tiredness' and... More

“A fabulous welcome, superb stay.”

Reviewed 17 May 2013

From the welcoming cup of tea on arrival in the charming residents lounge, to the departing wish that we had booked for longer; this is an excellent place to stay. Garry made us feel welcome straight away, and Debbie made a point of chatting to us at the first opportunity. The breakfasts were as good as I have experienced anywhere,... More

“The white house is the right house”

Reviewed 13 May 2013

Uncomplicated booking and a warm welcome of tea and biscuits. A typical seaside B&B, we had room number 9 (top floor, some views), the room was practical and had a brand new bathroom. The bed might not be enough for anyone taller than 1.80m. Breakfast was everything you might expect and more - simply delicious - and served with a... More

Thank you for your wonderful review. We always like to greet our guests with a cup of tea or coffee. It's usually pretty welcome after a long journey and it's also a good time for us to get to know our guests and to advise them of the best places to eat, drink and visit. We hope that it's not...

“Wow, thanks!”

Reviewed 11 May 2013

This was our first trip to this part of the country. The driving instructions to the hotel were invaluable, as we all no know how dodgy sat-nav can be. Our welcome was first rate. Debbie was accommodating and pleasant. She promoted the hotel, Torquey and the surrounding area with the enthusiasm of a local and not a tour operator. Our... More
