Set in the Torquay City Centre district in Torquay, South view offers 4-star rooms with free WiFi. There is a private entrance at the guest house for the convenience of those who stay. The property is 800 metres from Torre Abbey Sands Beach, and within 600 metres of the city centre.

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.

Situated within a quiet residential area of Torquay, Barclay Court Guest House is a late 19th-century building which retains many original features. The harbour and seafront are a 15-minute stroll from the property, while the shopping centre is just 5 minutes on foot. Free on-site parking is also provided.

Paul and Felicity were the perfect Hosts, very friendly and made us feel welcome from the moment we arrive to our last night.. Barclay Court is a beautiful guest house in a good location Away from all the noise to give you a peaceful night but within easy walking distance of everything Torquay as to offer.. We stayed in room 5 which was a excellent size with a huge bathroom with a large bath and very good sized shower unit. The room was very clean had a TV, and coffee and tea making facilities which were refreshed every day. Overall we really enjoyed our stay there and would definitely stay there again on our next visit to Torquay.. Would highly recommend Barclay Court Guest House...

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.

    The apartment was in a great location, literally less than ten minutes to walk to the centre. The area was also very quiet. A huge bonus to have free private parking too. Love that the apartment was pet friendly to bring our dog too. Hosts are quick to respond to queries and also very accommodating. Apartment was clean and very homely, hosts left us some shortbreads and fudge and even treats for our dog which was lovely. Would definitely stay again.

    Mandy & sharon who run the guest house are both exceptional hosts. Friendly & very welcoming. We arrived early & our rooms were already prepared, not only that I was then offered the parking space at the back. Facilities were fantastic, we were on the top floor and there was no issue with water pressure. Breakfast was fantastic, good choice on menu and lovely fresh fruits, yogurt and cereals. Would definitely recommend this guest house. Will definitely be back.

    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!
