“Fabulous and Friendly”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 December 2011

We had a super weekend break at Garway Lodge. Joe and Kay were wonderful hosts and we really loved our stay at their brilliant B & B! On arrival Kay booked us in and made us feel at home and brought us some tea.

We stayed in the Chocolate room, it was tastefully decorated, very comfortable and spacious with everything we could have asked for.

We were given fab advice on eating out and had a wonderful meal at thr Drum in Cockingham.

The location was good and it was only a short stroll to the beachfront, great!

The highlight was for us the Classic Devon Breakfast, beautifully cooked by Joe!

Thank you both for all your help and information! We will certainly go back again, and would like to spend longer there next time.

Room Tip: We stayed in the ground floor room which was very quiet and comfy.

Thank you both, it's great to receive such a 'Fab' review! We do work hard to make people feel at ease and ensure each visitor to Torquay has a very special time, whether the reason for their stay is business or pleasure and it is a lovely reward when such great feedback is received. Everyone is welcome here, we like to think of it as a 'home from home.' Remember on your next visit do bring your slippers and really make yourself at home! Hope to see you again very soon.

We remember you booked with us on recommendation by your friends and previous guests of ours. We so enjoy welcoming new people to Garway Lodge and we were pleased that you took advantage of our special 'referral' scheme, which offers discounted prices for new guests referred to us by their relatives or friends.
And yes even better, the sun really did shine in November, we've been tremendously lucky this year with such a mild Autumn and Winter season. We hope you visit again soon.

“Very warm welcome and friendly climate”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 December 2011

Kay and Joe are a very nice couple gave me a very warm welcome.

The room is OK as I only stayed there for two nights for a job. However the service they provided made me feel like at home.

Breakfast is brilliant. Recommended.

“highly recommended”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 November 2011

one of the best breakfasts i've ever had, Joe and Kay were very friendly when we arrived and never had a problem helping us or offering us advice and were helpful to let us no what was going on. Room was lovely and cosy. Short walk to the seafront. They have an honesty bar with a small selection of local and classic drinks. One of the best bed and breakfasts we've ever stayed at. Would definitely recommend to friends and family.
