Our first visit here. Absolutely great. It was a tribute weekend and every act was great. On the last night the hotels own entertainment team put on a show absolutely brilliant. Hotel room great but lots of stairs to get to it. …

We stayed at the Templestowe in September 2024, and it was a great value holiday. We did the four day weekend. You get the coach travel, hotel room, half board meals, free evening bar and excursions included. The room was comfortable and clean. The food is fresh and portions were good. The staff are all friendly and helpful. The entertainment wasn't quite my cup of tea (I'm in my 40s and the entertainment caters more to the older guests), but I did enjoy the bingo. There's lots to do in Torquay all within walking distance (boat trips, museums, bars/cafes, amusements etc). We definitely intend to return to the hotel in the summer months so we can go in the pool and enjoy the sunshine of the English riviera.

Great first time coach trip experience. From the driver of the coach, the staff, the entertainment, the food, the room, in fact the whole “Summer Sizzler” was better than expected. Everyone was friendly. Rooms are very clean. Food was tasty and good portions.

Stayed one night. Used to stay here every year as a child with my dad. 1st time I've been in over 40 years and brought back precious memories. Some of the hotel is unchanged.This is one of those hotels with original features and history , dated in places but that is all the charm. Too many hotels rip the hearts out of them and replace everything with modern tat, and all look the same inside.The staff are amazing , very polite, very professional and can't do enough for the guests. We paid £78 through booking.com for bed and breakfast for 2 of us. Absolute bargain. We got a huge 4 bed family room with lots of character, huge high ceiling and a sea view, plus view over the gardens and pool.Breakfast was good for the price, cereal, juice, full fry up, toast. They also had other choices and catered for veggies and vegans.The Bar was excellent with decent food and drinks were reasonably priced.The entertainment started with Bingo which was a laugh, then a singer guitarist which was OK but the music was very dated and then a brilliant magician/comedian. His act was more comedy than magic and involved the audience alot. He had everyone in stitches.Overall a brilliant stay. Just wish it had been for longer.

A brilliant Adult holiday. We went on a fully inclusive bus tour for 4 nights, the tours were very good, the food was excellent. The staff were friendly and had good senses of humour. The alcoholic drinks were all named eg Gordon's Gin, Malibu and Thatchers cider. The entertainment was mostly good. Although we don't play bingo we were impressed that the full house was between £80 and £180 each night.

Stayed here 30th August and have to say I will definitely be returning here l, the staff were brilliant and a lovely lady lent me a crutch as I had left mine at home and it really helped me get around the hotel. The entertainment was amazing and Steve and singing partner Launa were outstanding. I will definitely stay here again thank you.
