A warm welcome from Barrie & Linda: running the right hotel for you, in the right place for you, at the right price. This is our home of the last 20 yrs, overlooking Torwood Gardens, yet only 400 yds from the harbour/town amenities.
A warm welcome from Barrie & Linda to the Torwood Gardens b&b Hotel, our home of the last 20 years, overlooking the gardens for which the hotel is named. Linda keeps a spotlessly clean hotel and Barrie after 35 years is beginning to get the hang of the cooking! Our location: In the right place. Out of the door, turn left and Torquay museum is next door. Turn right down to the harbour and all of Torquay is there - you choose! You will find beaches, the Marina, theatre, cinema, pubs, cafes, restaurants.....oh and retail therapy in spades!! Please note that the hotel does not have a lift.
