We found Gaynor and Richard who own and run the B&B very Welcoming, Nothing was too much trouble for them. It was really comfortable and very clean, The B&B was positioned close to the train station, and quite close to the town centre. I would highly recommend a stay in Torquay at this hotel We would go back again.

We only stayed a couple of nights at the Gainsboro but we had a lovely time. Richard and Gaynor are extremely friendly, the room was lovely and extremely clean. It was very close to the town centre. We would definitely go back there and would not hesitate to recommend it.
