My husband and I have been lucky enough to have the recent opportunity to stay at the Orestone Manor in Torquay. Despite the typically British weather, we had a superb time. The hotel is simply stunning, luxurious and such a romantic location to visit. The head chef is commended on a delightful menu of food that is second to none... more

When I told my friend I wanted to go somewhere with my boyfriend for a romantic weekend, she recommended the Orestone Manor. It was a perfect night away! The four poster bedroom was spacious, comfortable and had great views across the garden and sea. The food was gorgeous and wine list had plenty to choose from. We felt that the... more

We have stayed here many times and the food has been consistently good. Dinners were superb and breakfast great quality. The service was attentive and low key. A small hotel - we still haven't found anything quite as good within the locality. There are a few things that could improve: - Some fixtures and fittings are in need of attention... more

A hotel that is gradually being run down - dirty carpets on stairs and common areas,bedroom that needs refurbing and a terrace that could have been nice if all the rotten wood on the railings and dead plants had been removed. Menu stays the same all the week - and a weird choice of food. Dinner service unbelievably slow on... more

We stayed here on the night of our wedding in the garden room £225. When in the morning we asked for breakfast in bed they said they would try but it was going to be a great hassle !! Eventually 30 mins later it turned up. For the price the rooms are outdated, there is no atmosphere and the service... more

My wife and I needed a break and scoured the internet and found Orestone Manor. We paid a little more than we normally do but the food and service were excellent. The hotel has a great colonial feel to it with plenty of character. The patio fence needs a little tidying up and our hot water tap banged loudly. There... more

The hotel is so peaceful. The view from the bay window of our room was to Lyme Bay and the only sound was the hoot of an owl at night. The room was large, the bathroom lovely and the fruit, bottled water and sherry tray was a nice touch. I agree with another review that perhaps the cream carpets in... more

Never have I had such an appalling experience from a reputedly good (and positively reviewed) hotel. I arrived by taxi at 7pm on the night for which I was booked in. The place was in darkness and I was refused entry. The taxi had left by then. Eventually I was told that 'We are not open tonight', and left to... more

My first view of this hotel told me it was going to be wonderful. Our room was the one you can see on the pictures above with the sleigh style bed, and it was every bit as good as it looked! The whole look of the hotel is colonial upperclass luxury and it just oozes charm. The staff were exceptionally... more
