We had a lovely stay and Lisa was an amazing host. It’s a convenient walk to Torquay and Cockington. We had the top floor suite with really a comfortable bed. The sofa gives amazing sea views and again good quality and comfortable. …

We had a two night stay at the Charterhouse. We were warmly welcomed by the joint owner Lisa who made us feel at home right away. We had a small suite on the top floor comprising bedroom, lounge and large bathroom. …

This place certainly deserves more than 5 stars! Lisa is an incredible host. Makes sure you have everything you need and require and makes sure you feel very welcome. We were in the top floor room, and the views over the water was amazing! Lisa's husband Christophe is the on-site chef, and the cooked breakfast was very tasty. He also makes his own jams - also very very nice! This place is literally a 5 minute from the sea front, and it made us feel like we were at home but better! Could not recommend The Charterhouse more, and we will most definitely be returning!

What a fabulous guest house/B&B. Private parking and the perfect location for a stroll along the beachfront to get to the edge of Torquay town where there are a few bars and restaurants, we tried them all and they were all great! …

Just back from a wonderful short break at Charterhouse. Just what we needed to unwind and relax. If ever there was a perfect person to host a b and b it's Lisa, she made our stay so enjoyable. The room was a home from home and very comfortable, bed was really comfy. The breakfast was fabulous. I'm not usually a fan of sausages but the ones on our English breakfast were really nice and there was lots of choice. Location was great, not too far to walk into Torquay. If we revisit Torquay in the future we wouldn't hesitate to return to Charterhouse although next time, can we please put in that order for some sunshine Lisa! 😊 x
