First of all they was on the coach over 7 hours from being picked up in birmingham, it took so long on the feeder coach going round collecting everyone. They asked for... More

I am sorry that the holiday did not suit your grandparents, but am surprised as to your comments, as there are so many good reviews regarding the service we provide from both old and young - and the superior rooms which are recent refurbished rooms, are also very popular.. More

We have been taking short breaks at the Torbay for quite a few years and have nearly always enjoyed these holidays. Any problem has been rectified quickly. There have been many improvements to the communal areas of the hotel and some rooms have been upgraded. We have found the staff to be friendly and helpful; the entertainment good and there... More

Just stayed at the hotel when the Young Farmers convention was in the town. Not the most pleasant group of people to share a holiday at the same time.

I am sorry that your stay was marred by a few indivuals behaviour. The vast majority of the young farmers were very well behaved and courteous as they have been in the past, whenever they have stayed in the town. They do take over the town in large numbers, but are generally no problem. More
