We enjoyed our stay at the Glenwood Guest House for the week. Great facilities, lovely clean tidy room and certainly up-to-date. The breakfasts were enjoyable as well with a decent variety to choose from. Arthur and Tina were very approachable hosts too and were very helpful in giving advice and suggestions on what to do in the area. Would recommend to anyone who is looking to enjoy a break in the area, as for price you'll struggle to find better value for money.

At the end of a cul-de-sac this B&B is run by a lovely couple. The rooms are clean and comfortable and a nice touch is the bottle of water left on the bedside table.View from the room was over the town but high up that it was a nice one.Bed freshly made every day, not many places seem to do this these days.All in all would definitely stay again. One tip I will offer, book direct. I didn't and it worked out much more expensive.

The house is located just a walking distance from the train station, town proper and beach side. Stayed here for 2 nights and everything is great. Room is spacious and relaxing, breakfast is delicious (you can choose different varieties of yoghurts, cereals, fruits) plus ordered a full english breakfast. I was so full that I can't even breath! šŸ˜…Had to leave early and Tina is so kind to make me a sandwich to bring for my 5-6 hours travel šŸ„¹To Mary, Tina and Arthur, THANK YOU for being ever so kind and for welcoming me in Torquay. Best 2 days I ever had ā¤ļøLove, Glory from Hastings ā˜ŗļø

The Glenwood was a lovely, cosy stay over two days. The first impression was excellent, very clean, all the facilities you would want, clean and comfortable, excellent hosts and well-cooked breakfast to start the day. The atmosphere was bright and peaceful, nice carpark and surroundings. We hope to come again. Phil and Vron W.
