The easy parking was a bonus in Torquay. We found the hosts friendly and knowledgeable. Our twin ensuite room had comfy beds and we could control the room temperature. The breakfasts were well cooked and very tasty. If we visit Torquay again we would hope that Carl & June have a vacancy for us.

Breakfast, served by Carl was more than ample and very tasty. I would definately recommend "The Kingsholm" to anyone who was looking for someone to stay in Torquay. Only one small comment, the hotel... More

We have just returned from a great weekend in Torquay staying at the Kingsholm Hotel. The room was very comfortable and clean and the service was wonderful. Very friendly and helpful hosts June and Carl, nothing was too much for them. The breakfast was very good and the choice varied. We will definitely be going again.
