Romantic weekend
This was a weekend get away to celebrate our Ruby Wedding Anniversary, and this was just the place to celebrate it, our upstairs room was very bright and clean and suitable for our weekend trip, the owner went out of her way to make sure we had a lovely weekend, and the breakfast next morning was just great and freshly cooked. We will definitely be staying here again

Great guest house experience
Had a great stay, I was in Room 2, which is a ground floor room. It was spacious and extremely clean. The decor is a little dated, however is very clean, which is the most important aspect. The owners were extremely friendly and cooked my breakfast at 07:30 (normally from 09:00), so exceptional customer service.

It was an ok stay
The stay was ok the room we got put in was room 1 was small and looked out onto boats being repaired and there was no privacy as hey was outside windows most of the time we paid £95 for the smallest room and it was only worth £65 I was disappointed with the room but the owner said there will move me and my wife another room the next day but owner also said that the room we booked so I would not move and it was a disappointment and spoiled the week but the owners couldn’t do enough for you after but I would not go again

I’m so sorry that you booked the wrong room, and it didn’t meet your expectations, it states double/twin so when made as a double it’s decreases the size slightly, also as we live at the property our normal daily life carry’s on I’m afraid, however we do try to make light of guests having a view of the boats..My husband apologises for the couple of times he worked on the boat during the day normally this hasn’t been a problem as most of our guests are out during the day.. but this has been noted.. I will say that I did ask your wife if he was disturbing you at all and to let us know as we like all our guests to feel at home and comfortable..

I never use the big named Hotels, instead I try to support the many guest houses across the UK, especially during these difficult time. The welcome I received from Claire was exceptional. I made a mistake on my booking but nothing was too much trouble and Claire rectified my mistake. My stay was warm and comfortable and I highly recommend. Thank you for your kindness Claire

Family atmosphere
Claire & David provide a friendly and high standard bed & breakfast. We wanted plant based milk and meatless being vegan. They took a personal interest, even provided plant based yoghurts, sausages, bacon for breakfast. Fruits were available.They gave us some suggestions regarding local places to interests and good food places

Good location being only 15 minute walk to the sea front but with it being situated on a fairly busy road, it was noisy at night with the traffic. Luckily there was a fan in the room to use when we shut the windows. Spaceous ensuite and well equipped rooms and we were made to feel very welcome by Claire & Dave who were helpful with any question we had.

A Great Holiday at Crown Lodge
We had a Fabulous holiday in Torquay made even better by the friendly couple that ran Crown Lodge, Clair and Dave made us welcome when we first arrived, and after the week it seemed like we had known them for years. Nothing was too much trouble for them and we will defiantly be returning to Crown Lodge.

We cannot fault any part of our stay, from the spacious room and bathroom to the free on site parking. Claire and David are exceptional hosts and take the time to get to now there guests. The breakfast is very good and plenty of it. Guests coming to Torquay need to remember to book restaurants before hand there are plenty of them but advisble to book early. The Landsdown Inn is also worth a visit 5 mins away

I had a lovely stay in this very pleasant B & B. What really made it was the owners. Nothing was too much trouble - they even gave me a lift to the opticians and waited there for me when my glasses broke on the day of my departure. Unpretentious and comfortable, conveniently located for train station (Torre), beach and town centre. The breakfast was amazing - beautifully freahly cooked and so generous I was set up for the day.
