This is a well run family hotel in a quiet setting just a ten minute walk to the centre of Torquay and the front. Michael and Ann are a friendly and hospitable couple. Breakfasts are freshly cooked to order, and piping hot. The evening meal is plentiful and satisfying, with a good and varied choice.
The twin-bedded room we occupied was a good size, light and airy, with plenty of room for suitcases and clothing, and was clean and comfortable.
The sitting room was large with a television, local information, games and reading material all to hand.
Many of the guests were repeat customers this being a good indication of its popularity.
The only possible drawback for less able people is the steep hill up to the house, but as an able bodied retired couple we had no issues with this.

Stayed 5 nights late August (22-27). Cannot fault the service or the accomodation. Catered for also in the evening. The owners are a lovely couple and were more than willing to accomodate your stay. The room was clean and tidy. Great value for its rating. Slight downside, be prepared for the walking and steep hills. However the breakfast made up for it they were excellent and prepared you for the day !

Stayed here for 2 nights in early August 2010...Paid £116 for 2 us for the 2 nights which i thought was good value overall. Cant fault the rooms or cleanliness of the hotel, but did feel a little 'young' compared to the rest of the people staying there! (We're aged 34 and 41!) Reading the hotel visitors book, it seems people go back time and time again though, so they must be doing something right... probably the breakfasts which were plentiful and i was very happy to see they catered for veggies like me too!!!

Location was good but do prepare yourself for very steep hills / steps that you need to navigate to get down to the town centre if you want to walk! Doesn't take very long but even at my age, it was a bit of a task at times and would be no good for anyone with problems in the walking department!!! Parking is always a bonus and this place has enough of it for all staying so no worries there... (Street parking on the road is also plentiful should it be needed) Liked the fact they had free wifi too.. Was certainly a bonus for the price we paid!

Probably wouldn't stay here again as would prefere to be nearer into the town centre (walking up and down them hills in heels for a night out is not very practical!) ...but if you just want a base for exploring the Devon area in your car, its ideal. Overall 7/10 for us.

My wife and i recently stayed at the Court Prior Hotel and found the owners friendly helpful and very accomodating. The room was clean and bright with individual heating the bathroom also was spacious and had heating.The breakfast was plentiful and freshly cooked to order the lounge was very inviting and comfortable.The only downside was the position a car is nessacary but for a base for exploring the area its ideal.
