stayed in the ground floor single room,small clean and comfortable and good value if i got a breakfast with that,but when you serve breakfast for only one hour 8:30-9:30 there's a good chance your gonna miss it,i find this totally unacceptable ,your on holiday you shouldn't have to set your alarm clock or worry u won't get up in time,i also found this room a bit noisy as i could hear the door bell and the opening and closing of doors and i didn't close the window fully my fault and had the noise from the street.so i'm afraid it's a negative review which would most likely would have been positive if i had breakfast and thus experienced the hospitality that other reviews have commended.

Having booked a week's summer holiday in Torquay with our two older children, we were very happy to find a place that offers single rooms at a good rate. When we checked in, the landlord, Norman, confessed to us that they were actually double rooms that were charged as single...

This is a wonderful B&B. Norman and Nena made us feel at home during our stay in Torquay. The full English breakfast was always delicious with Norman and Nena taking good care that we got enough to eat, and always helping out with any questions we had. They'll even pick you up from the station or take you to it if needed.

The B&B is located close to the shopping area and close to the sea, the location is just perfect. It was very nice to have a parking place for our rental car, so we didn't have to worry about that. There's free wireless internet, cable TV and insuite bathrooms in every room.
The place is very clean, the bathrooms are professionally installed and work perfectly. It's a shame we had to leave after a week...

Having researched where to stay over August Bank Holiday in Torquay, have to say we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Ashurst Lodge.
Nice to have off road parking...one less thing to worry about if arriving by car.
Yes, decor may be a little dated to some, but the attention to comfort & cleanliness was of a high standard. We had the family room. Adequate for our needs with lovely comfortable beds. Serviced daily. Good hearty breakfast too. Thoroughly good value for money.
Walking distance to the shops & beach.
Ideal base for exploring the English Riviera. Easy driving distance to some lovely beaches, harbours and various tourist attractions.
Will certainly recommend Ashurst to my friends & family.
Hope to return again.

This is a genuine, honest, old fashioned B&B. The hosts make you feel at home and very very welcome. The atmosphere is truly lovely! This in particular makes the B&B very good value for money and old carpets, electric showers, frilly decor etc. pale into insignificance or might even contribute to the old charm. I travelled on my own, felt very safe and slept like a log.
