Perfection.

Fabulous stay from beginning to end. The best breakfast ever. From homemade granola, to piping hot full breakfast, choice of eggs, quality ingredients. In the room bottled water and tea/ coffee etc replenished every day. Helen's home made cake for you to help yourself to when you came back from a day out. Beautiful gardens, friendly, helpful hosts. Excellent location. I would highly recommend this guest house. We were given a suite with a comfy settee. T V in bedroom and lounge. Perfect.

Woww is all i can i say about our stay. We had a fabulous night. Peter was just the best host ever. He has a wonderful caring nature and really delivered a wonderful experience. The hotel is gorgeous and probably the best comfortable room we have ever stayed in. To top it all off the breakfast was astounding with a huge selection of continental fare. My cooked English breakfast was beautiful as was my wife's eggs royale. I am so pleased we have found this gem of a place and plan to visit again and again. Thank you for making our stay so wonderful and memorable .

A gem of a place!

Stayed for three nights. Peter is a great host, meeting us on arrival to welcome us in. Two beautiful rooms / a bedroom and small lounge, with a recently refurbished and very stylist shower room. Tasteful decor with a large comfortable bed and good quality bed linen. All very clean. Beautifully prepared breakfast, with plenty of fresh fruit, cereals plus a good choice of cooked too. The Somerville is just a 10 minute walk down to the sea front. Torquay museum is a 5 minute walk. An excellent place to visit. The Hole in the Wall is a lovely old pub serving great food and only 7 minute walk down the hill. I can highly recommend a stay at the Somerville!

Excellent! Would highly recommend!

What a lovely place to stay! We pulled into the parking area at the rear of the property, and we were met by Peter, who welcomed us. We found him to be so knowledgeable and friendly, showing us walking routes, places of interest etc. Peter, Helen and the team really made our stay so comfortable. Little touches like fresh baked cakes which we could help ourselves to. Our room had a fridge where they left complementary bottled water and milk each day. We brought a bottle of champagne with us which had been a present, as we were celebrating our anniversary and on the daily housekeeping where they top up the fridge if anything has been used, we came back from a day out to find that they had left us some champagne flutes, so they must have seen the champagne, so thoughtful! Coffee and tea in your room too along with some home made cookies. We had the deluxe room with king bed. The room itself was beautiful, the bed really comfortable and plenty of storage too. I dont always sleep well away from home, but had no problem here, nice and quiet and comfortable. The breakfasts were amazing, masses of choice, and freshly cooked to order. We would definitely come back and highly recommend, thank you to Peter, Helen and the team, you really made our stay that bit more special in an already beautiful part of the world.

Peter und Helen sind wunderbare Gastgeber eines kleinen und feinen Bed & Breakfast fast im Zentrum von Torquay. Vom persönlichen check in mit Infos über die Stadt und Umgebung über die liebevoll eingerichteten Zimmer und Räume des Hotels bis zum sensationellen englischen Frühstück, serviert von Peter mit seinem jungen Personal, war alles top und 1a👍
