We have just come back from a weekend break, having arrived with some trepidation after reading the reviews on here. I have to say that we were very pleasantly surprised. The hotel is old and could do with some major investment but it is a two star hotel and of the two star hotels I have stayed at this rates... More

We arrived at the cavendish torquay on the 10th june for a week. The staff are very friendly, nothing was too much trouble for them. Our room was nice, very clean and just right for the two of us. The food was lovely and very hot and fresh when we received it. All in all, we would definately go back... More

First apologies as we sound we did not come up to expectation this time. Unfortunately, do not know which room you were in to answer your specific problems. Even if we were unable to offer you an alternative room we should have changed the bed or mattress for you and investigated the very hot water, so must apologise for that.... More

Stayed for two nights, paid extra for sea view room and breakfast. Choose it because of the reasonable cost, pools & on-site parking. View was worth the extra cost. Cooked breakfast was on the small side, but tasty. Decor throughout is dated but most areas clean & tidy. The only exception was the changing facilities between the indoor & outdoor... More

We will certainly look at the points you raise. We are trying to improve the hotel where we can within the limits of the current economic climate, but it is are extremely difficult. We are hoping to secure funding from the Banks shortly to finance further refurbishment which will obviously make a big difference. So thank you for your review. More

Sometimes we get a bad review and we think 'ok, fair enough'. We don't always get things right and we're only a two-star hotel, so we're not going to get five-star reviews all the time. As long as people are fair in their comments we are quite happy to accept constructive criticism and feedback. This review, however, is utterly, utterly... More

A last minute treat for the family I'll never hear the end of! Even our small daughter of seven thought it was a dump, pleading that we should stay somewhere nice! The Hotel looks great in the pictures but they really don't give a true picture. I should have looked at 'Tripadvisor' before booking. My biggest puzzle with other reviews... More

I think your review is unfair. The room was checked by myself and the Maintenance Team after seeing your review. Yes the exterior of the room was not up to standard I completely agree it should not have been left like that and the Maintenance team had neglected that area. However inside the room is lovely except for the area... More
