Conveniently situated near to rail station and bus routes enabling us to travel all over south Devon. Our hosts were very friendly and accommodating, nothing was to much trouble. Our twin room overlooked a park and was quiet, well decorated and comfortable. Everywhere was very clean. The breakfasts were superb. We recommend it as very good value in every respect... More

On our third visit to Torquay in under a month, we finally found what we were looking for. A great B&B that punches above its weight in all aspects. Sue & Stuart were the perfect hosts, there if you needed them and always willing to spend a moment or two with their guests. The twin room we stayed in is... More

Just a really good comfortable weekend away in a friendly B&B! We came by train and liked that we could walk anywhere in Torquay from here. 10 out of 10 for breakfast. More

A group of 8 of us stayed for 2 nights over the New Year. We had all stayed with Sue & Stuart before and they have made some further improvements in the year and a half since they took over. As usual the welcome, service and breakfast were superb. We all had a great New Years day meal at 'The... More

We had to book the Gainsboro at the last minute due to our original booking falling through, but I'm so glad we did. A very nice hotel within a 5-10 minute walk from the station easy to do with suitcases on wheels. Due to it's proximity to the station bus service into town was very convenient and going to Paignton... More

My wife and I stayed in the Gainsboro for a few nights mid September 2011 and had a wonderful time. Sue & Stuart ensured that our time spent at the Guest House was very enjoyable. They were always on hand to help with advice on local attractions and places to see or eat and drink. We were made to feel... More
