Nick's scrambled eggs are the best eggs Ive ever had on all my holidays in this country and abroad. The walk into Torquay is 10 mins and plenty of restaurants just 5 mins walk around the corner and recommend the Chinese restuarant for a lovely meal. ##### Jean Stayed 5 nights in Sep 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### paul, ebbw vale 27 May 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### Brilliant hotel and location fantastic hotel, brilliant location, really friendly owners that make you feel very welcome, room we stayed in was a little dated but immaculate and extremly clean, breakfast was superb, definitely recommend ##### paul Stayed 2 nights in May 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Elliot 24 Nov 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Highly recommended Fantastic stay with great service 👌 ##### Elliot Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Norman, Pontypool South Wales 28 Jul 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### Nice B & B in Torquay near good restaurants. Good value B&B. Owners Nic and Chen are lovely people and could not be more accommodating. The room was adequate for a couple. The shower only on-suite was OK. Unfortunately we had to tIe up the very loose shower head to have a shower. I also disliked the glass shelf above the wash basin as it was nigh on impossible to lower your face to wash or rinse after cleaning teeth. We didn't complain though as this sort of thing is regularly encountered in our experience of hotels and you just get on with it if you can. The hotel swimming pool is unusable, though still advertised as a hotel facility. The owner Nic, plans to fill it in. The breakfast was very good with plenty of choice. The owners catered for most needs very well. Nothing was too much trouble. The hotel was near the bottom of a hill, a short but steep walk up from Torquay harbour. Once reached though you had to climb the hotel's steps, leaving you breathless. Good car parking was off road in the hotel grounds. There were good restaurants nearby. ##### Norman Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Herwig, Österreich 20 May 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Hervorragendes Hotel in Strandnähe Schöne Unterkunft mit super Lage. Leckeres Frühstück frisch nach Bestellung gefertigt. Weiterempfehlung zu 100 Prozent ##### Herwig Stayed 2 nights in May 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Steve & Carol, North Yorkshire 17 Dec 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Top of the hill five minutes walk from town The Shelley is a lovely Victorian building full of character. The drive to the small carpark is steep but manageable even with a large estate. The room was clean and tidy with an attention to detail equivalent to a larger upmarket chain with complimentary bottled water, tea, coffee, shoe shine kit, shower cap and the usual shower gel, shampoo and body lotion etc. Much better than a hotel chain was the friendly and personal greeting after our long journey from Nick, who offered us tea on arrival, an explanation of the hotel facilities, including pool and honesty bar, plus local amenities. Although we opted for the traditional English breakfast there is plenty of choice on the breakfast menu. Our order was taken by Nick and served by Chen, both of whom showed genuine interest in our stay in Torquay. Three options of toast with home made marmalade finished breakfast of nicely. Overall, a great experience worthy of a longer stay. There are great restaurants nearby to suit a variety of tastes, with Bianco's, Jingles and Legends at Steps are worth a try. ##### Steve & Carol Stayed 1 night in Dec 2017 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gary 1 Aug 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### A hotel to visit Lovely Hosts.Very kind.nothing to much trouble yet discreet,Delightful main room, ##### Gary Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2017 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gudmund 19 Jul 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Vilken gästvänlighet som ägarna visade upp. Lugn och mysig atmosfär.

The building itself is impressive & the rooms are spacious & clean. Our bed was excellent if you like it vey firm. The quality of service is excellent as are the breakfasts, with a large selection available to cover most tastes. Would definitely stay again. ##### Colin Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2017 ### 8/10 Good #### Debbie 3 Apr 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Lovely hotel Lovely room and lovely hotel ##### Debbie ### 8/10 Good #### phillip 24 Sept 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities very good staff friendly and a good full english breakfast the only downside to this hotel was is on a steep hill no good if you got health problems ##### phillip ### 10/10 Excellent #### frank, staines 19 Sept 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### An excellent run hotel We had a lovely three nights at the Shirley,there was a happy atmosphere,the proprietors,were always smiling.The breakfast, was second to none.The décor extremely original,rooms excellent.Obviously when they bought this place,they put a lot of thought into it.Yes it on a slope, but where in Torquay,is not.Should we go to Torquay,again I know where we are staying ##### frank ### 10/10 Excellent #### David, London 29 Aug 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Very friendly place.
