We arrived late at the Marstan from a long drive to be welcomed with a good cup up tea, all relaxed through check in. Can it be better than this? Our room was clean and beautifully appointed, with a view of the lovely garden and pool. Although the weather outside was chilly, it was warm and cozy inside. Breakfast was... More

Stayed for two nights on business. I've always tended to avoid guest houses - The Marston has changed my opinion completely. Tea on arrival when being checked in. Very comfortable and clean room. Perfectly cooked breakfast and hosts that clearly enjoy what they do. They couldn't be more accommodating, helpful or friendly. Next time I'm here it will be my... More

Lovely warm welcome. We were met at the door and supplied with tea/coffee whilst our bags were taken up to our room giving us the opportunity to sit in comfort and unwind from the journey which was a very nice touch leaving us feeling relaxed and unrushed. After that we were provided an information pack and local area map including... More

Lovely looking building, Ian very welcoming, lovely cup of tea on arrival, bags carried to room.Room was lovely and big, well decorated..Breakfast was really nice, we enjoyed it very much, Craig is a great cook.... Ian worked very hard and seemed to be every where... Only down side, not see too much of Craig.. Overall, lovely place to stay.........

Lovely atmosphere, warmest of welcomes (with great local info), great room and bathroom with character (in a good way), perfect location, quiet...what more could you want? We especially liked the cosy bar. We rate Craig and Ian among our favourite hosts.

Our stay was a quiet early spring get-away, and it fit the bill nicely. Service was impeccable and room was beautifully decorated and very clean. The only slight disappointment was that the room was slightly smaller than expected. We deliberately didn't go for the 'small' double room but went one notch up to the 'standard' room, but this was still... More

I can honestly say that the only disappointing thing about staying at the hotel was having to leave. We arrived home 2 days ago and still feel short changed. The hotel was impeccable- we stayed in a king room that had it's own upstairs bathroom making it feel like we had a suite. The hotel is tastefully decorated and furnished... More

Had the pleasure in staying at The Marstan for sadly just one night while on business, Made to feel very welcome and was given a map a list of local restaurants along with recommendations. The bed must have been the most comfortable I've ever slept in, and breakfast was a dream. Cannot rate this hotel highly enough.

Just got back after staying here for a three night break in Torquay. Ideally situated for walking into Torquay and for finding our chosen restaurants. It's a Victorian house with large high ceiling rooms that the proprietors have restored, decorated and furnished to a very high degree. The place is sumptuously comfy, there is a lounge with a piano and... More
