Paul & Julia made our visit to Torquay a high point of our trip to England. They are the friendliest, most helpful couple of any place we have ever stayed. They gave directions and information about the town as well as providing a full menu breakfast. Fred D.

On our arrival we were served a lovely cream tea, which we did not expect. It was a great introduction to this friendly guest house. We had a very lovely room, with a very comfortable bed. The breakfast was cooked to perfection and was delicious. The couple who own Garway Lodge are really friendly and very down to earth. Nothing... More

Really don't want to recommend this guest house for fear of it being full next time I wish to use it. My only regret is we weren't staying longer the hotel was immaculate, atmosphere warm and very friendly the rooms were clean comfortable, and catered for our every need. The breakfast was outstanding. To summarise we will definitely be staying... More
