The wonderful Breakfast, which is pre-ordered the night before, is to my mind, a great way to get what you want. The location is superb, it took us 14 minutes to get to the promenade.

Located in the centre of Torquay, 800 metres from Torre Abbey Sands Beach, the historic The Norwood provides accommodation with free WiFi and water sports facilities. It is situated 1 km from Corbyn Beach and features full-day security. The guest house features family rooms.

It was very clean and quiet. Great location to beach and town centre. Literally a 10 minute walk, and while homeward bound is a little up hill l, it’s not that bad. Also a great little pub across the road that does good meals. The ensuite room is on the 3rd floor, but not a big deal, unless you wanted to drag suitcases up. We just took up what we needed for the night. Bed was so fluffy and comfortable, we slept in. Both the hosts were very friendly and helpful. Lovely couple that are doing a great job of hosting. Even though there is no fridge in room, they have one on the landing for guest use.

    Comfortable bed. Good shower/facilities. No excess heat pumping out, unlike most guest houses. Tea bags replaced daily - small things matter! Friendly host offered helpful advice on arrival. Decent location - quiet, on regular 12 bus route, 3-minute walk to Torre station, 15-minute walk down to seafront.

    The breakfast was fantastic. Rooms were very clean, you can tell that the whole place was very well looked after. The fan in room was very quiet. Tea, coffee provided. Noticed there was an ironing board and iron for anyone to use. The host William was very nice and messaged us information about key etc. Great location as it was a short walk to the seafront.

    Great location, within walking distance of the seafront and shops. Lovely guest house with great hosts. The chocolate hanging on the door at night was really thoughtful and a great sweet treat when you returned in the evening. Breakfast was great and sets you up for the day. Will definitely return in the future. On the morning we checked out, Sharon and Mark gave us a goodie bag with some snacks and bottled water for the journey home. This was so nice of them and we really appreciated it.

    Room 18 was great, quiet and spaces. Both Andrew and Angie were great hosts and made our stay enjoyable. The breakfast is one of the best we have had at a guest house. Fresh and good selection. The waiting staff were friendly and provided a good service. We enjoyed our stay very much and will be returning next year!
