Kingsway Lodge Guest House

We booked a one night midweek stay through Expedia with no hassles. This is a family run business involving Madeline, the mother, her daughter Onna and son Michael. Bearing in mind that they had only taken over the business a few days before, they made us feel comfortable and very welcome. We arrived early - normal arrival time is after 2 pm - but we were shown to our room and given a welcome cup of coffee. The room itself was comfortable and clean with its own bathroom and toilet. Breakfast was cooked to order and care taken to cater for dietary needs. - I have coeliac disease and therefore have to eat gluten-free food. They made a superb effort with this. - other guests appeared equally satisfied with all that was provided. Altogether this is a perfect guest house for a brief stay. Highly recommended.

My mother and I were visiting our grandchildren/greatgrandchildren in Newton Abbot but all the Hotels there were booked as it was 'Race Weekend'. I was staying at my sons house in Newton Abbot but I had to book my mother into a Guesthouse and the closet place was Torquay (only about 5 miles away). We were greeted on arrival at 'Kingsway' by an extremely friendly host (Meryl) who showed mother to her room (a single) and talked her through all the breakfast details. My mother has helped run a Guesthouse herself and she remarked to me how clean the accomodation was and she was extremely satisfied with the way she was looked after during her visit. The room was a single, had a TV, Kettle and assortment of teas and coffees available in the room. Mother she she would be most happy to visit here again. There are 3 Car Parking spaces for this 4 room GuestHouse The Guesthouse itself is just a few hundred yards from Torre Railway Station. Buses go into town (about 4 mins away) from the main road about 200 yards away, Carry on down the road from the Guesthouse and it is about a mile to Torquay Sea Front.

You couldn't wish for a friendlier welcome than at Kingsway Lodge. Meryl, the proprietor, is a friendly bubbly host. She offers a wonderful array of food at breakfast time which sets you up for a day of exploring Torquay and the surrounding area. The room was comfortable, bright and well equipped. Tea & coffee supplied, a colour TV and free wifi in the room. I enjoyed my stay so much I've booked for later in the year.
