Had a lovely stay at Garway Lodge for a long weekend break with my wife. It was very clean throughout the whole building, and the room was very nice and comfortable. But to make this B&B special takes Joe and Kay, who are the perfect hosts. They will not hesitate to do anything that will make your stay the best... More

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Garway Lodge - bedroom comfortable and clean with excellent en-suite facilities. The breakfasts lived up to their award winning status. Kay and Joe were really friendly and accommodating - no problem with providing lactose-free milk. Joe even printed out a map to Burgh Island. They were everything you would want - friendly but allowed for... More

Our sincere thanks for a nice review. Often guests are combining business with pleasure and we endeavour to assist with local information in any way we can and aware that guests are often on unfamiliar territory. We are honoured to have been presented with a coveted 'Breakfast Award' from the hotel inspector for the last two seasons and appreciate that... More

In short, this was a very enjoyable stay. Everything about the room was very well thought out, excellent shower, good food (although perhaps a change to Cauldron veggie sausages could be an idea?) and Kay and Joe were extremely friendly and happy to help with any number of requests, from printing PDFs to advising on local hostelries. Weather also amazing,... More

This is an outstanding guest house, very clean, newly redecorated and refurbished and altogether very comfortable. Joe was welcoming, flexible and knowledgeable about local matters, particularly restaurant recommendations (Kay was away for the weekend when we stayed). The breakfast was first class and with interesting alternatives to the great British fry-up; I enjoyed the smoked salmon with scrambled egg. Strongly... More

Many thanks for your response. It is good to read that despite myself being away for a family occasion you were looked after well by my partner Joe and that you enjoyed your brief stay. As you mentioned we have a selection of standard and luxury rooms, both singles and doubles. All rooms are priced accordingly and we are glad... More

Amazingly this couple have been holidaying at Garway Lodge for the past 20 years and it's such a pleasure to see them each time. To be praised for our knowledge of the area is fantastic as we think they probably know the best places to visit just as well as we do! They always notice and comment postively on the... More

We know how important a warm welcome is and after such a stressful journey we hope we didn't keep you up too late chatting.(perhaps the cold lager helped with the instant relaxation?). Thank you for the five star rating, we'll certainly mention this to the hotel inspector on his next visit and we wish you well with your new business... More

Our stay at Garway Lodge was a short one but nevertheless a really pleasant experience. The proprietors certainly went that extra mile which makes all the difference between an OK visit and an enjoyable one. If your looking for a comfortable B&B in Torquay then we would recommend to avoid the unknown and book your break with the Garway. More
