Top 5 Reasons to stay at the Glendower

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 12 Oct 2019via mobile
1. The family
The owners of the Glendower make your stay unforgettable. Kind, funny, attentiv and always a smile for their guests. We stayed here for the third time in three years and we are very happy to call them our friends now.

2. The breakfast
Probably the best, delicious breakfast we’ve ever eaten in all our holidays in England. Lesley is a really great chef and the menu offers a wide selection for everyone.

3. The rooms
Every room is individually designed and absolutely unique. The owners put a lot of effort in it and you’ll notice when you enter your room.
The rooms are all spacious, beautiful and spotlessly clean.

4. The price
The prices are absolutely fair for the quality and service you get at the Glendower!

5. The Location
The B&B lies on a street lined with trees and is situated on a little hill right next to Torre Abbey and only a short walk through a small park to the seafront and the harbour.

If you’re ever staying in Torquay, we can highly recommend the Glendower, you won’t regret it!

We stayed at the Glendower for 3 nights in August 2019, and loved it. The room was nice and quiet, the bed was very comfortable (a proper double bed with a high quality mattress, not too soft and not too firm). The breakfast was amazing - made fresh to order, with lots of veggie options (though if you're vegan, it's best to let them know in advance). It's about 5 minutes' walk from the sea. Our hosts Bob, Carla and Lesley are really friendly folks, it felt like they genuinely care about making people comfortable. I would definitely stay here again, it was an absolute bargain.
