We have been holidaying in Torquay for many years but never have we stayed in such a brilliant place that is the Elmdene. Our room was spotlessly clean, modern, spacious, comfortable etc etc. Large shower cubicle, fluffy towels, fridge with bottled water and fresh milk every day. Andy and Carol were very friendly and helpful and make it look very easy although to maintain that standard I'm sure it;s not!. Breakfast was superb, all local produce and freshly prepared, good choice of cereals, juice, pastries, cheese, yoghurts and of course the full english! Car park safe. Bus stop to town a few strides away. Overall a very pleasant and relaxed stay. Deserves the super reviews.

This hotel is truely outstanding. This hotel is beautiful, our room was spacious and decorated to a very high standard. The breakfast is cooked to order and is superb. Andy and Carol should be extremely proud of their hotel as its the best hotel we have ever stayed in and we will be returning.

We have just stayed at the Elmdene for five days and were celebrating our silver wedding aniversary, Carol and Andy could not do enough for us and made the time in Torquay really memorable. The room was luxurious and with loads of fine little touches like a torch and needle/threads, shoe cleaning kit and of course the bathrobes. The breakfasts were very special and very tasty and set us up for the rest of the day. The room was spotless and the beds were very comfortable and king size. We would certainly stay at this hotel if we were in the Torquay area again because you cannot find a better place to stay. Many thanks to Carol and Andy for making are stay very speacial indeed they deserve a five star for the service they provide.

This hotel was the nicest small hotel we have ever stayed in. Carol and andy made you feel so welcome from the word go, nothing was to much trouble for them.
It was spotless and smelt lovely when you walked in, and decorated to a high standard.So it was no surprise that the rooms were also beautifully decorated and had nice little touches, such as,, delicious fudge and proper ground coffee.fluffy bath robes and good quality toiletries.Even a torch for when you get up in the night, so you dont have to put a bright light on.
we stayed in rooms 6 and 7 and both were of the same high standard, and as we decided to stay an extra night, our booked room was not available, so carol moved us to a differrent room.and said leave all your things and go and enjoy your day and it will be done for us, when we arrived back all our things had been neatly put away, now that is what i call really looking after your guests.
The breakfasts!! need i say more, were delicious and again the quality of the produce used, which was locally sourced and really tasty, cooked to perfection by carol, Andy was chatty and always had a little word with each guest whilst taking our orders.
Both carol and andy are such nice people and really do all they can to make your stay the best, and i have to say they certainly will be seeing us again, our only disapointment is we wont be able to stay with you again until next year as you are not open through the winter, But we look forward to seeing you in march, thank you both for a great five days. .maggie and mark
