    Nothing. Everything was perfect.

    I loved everything, from the moment of booking, until we left. My 8-year-old daughter and I were met with a warm welcome by Lisa. My daughter is really anxious and barely talks to strangers. Lisa had her speaking in French in as little as 3 minutes. Honestly, Lisa is so welcoming it just puts you at ease that fast. We were shown to our room, it was beautiful 😍 and clean. All the amenities and more. We gave Lisa our preferred time for breakfast for the next morning, we messaged our choices over later on that day. After a wonderful, peaceful, and cosy nights sleep, we headed down for breakfast. Beautiful breakfast room with a selection of cereals and juices. Lisa greeted us both. That's what really stood out to me. Lisa remembered my daughters name and engaged in conversation with her. This is the main reason I'm writing this review. I watched Lisa engage with everyone in the room, both adult and child, so welcoming and genuine. It was really lovely 😍 to see. Our breakfasts on both mornings were fantastic. We had the cooked breakfast the first morning, and pastries on the second. The cooked breakfast is filling and hot. Cooked to perfection 👌. The pastries were lovely and went down a treat with my little Miss. The entire break away was made so much better by staying here and not in a generic hotel. I can't recommend this place enough. We will definitely be returning next summer. Maddi might even have some new French words to share. Thank you so much for having us. Kelé and Maddi xxx

    That I had to leave 😪

    Lisa and Christophe are the loveliest hosts, so welcoming and accommodating, I felt like part of the family. The Charterhouse itself is wonderful with a pool and extensive gardens and is set back from the main road so you are not bothered by traffic. It is perfect for rest and relaxation. The beach is a short walk away, or there is a beautiful walk through the water meadows leading to tea rooms and a pub. The room was comfortable and spotlessly clean, and breakfast was delicious. I highly recommend and cannot wait to visit again.

    The only thing we weren‘t aware was that the Kitchen was opposite to our room. So when we arrived we had all that Bacon Scent in the Room and we were scared, that we‘ll wake up at 7am from sizzling Bacon Smell… Happy it wasn‘t that way - the other thing that bothered me was that Digital Registration. In every Accommodation we booked so far we never had to do so.

    The heartwarming welcome by Lisa and where the Location was situated was nice! So now we know some things we can ask for another time for more Details

    Nothing to dislike.

    Lisa was so friendly from first communication right through to the end of our stay. It is in a fabulous location, perfect if driving or travelling by train. My daughter and I felt very safe and cared for. Excellent breakfast and beautifully presented rooms. Homemade jams and locally sourced ingredients made a very special touch. I'd recommend the Peach and Vanilla and Raspberry jams😍

    Not a complaint, just personal preference, we would have preferred a bigger TV in the room. There is a larger TV available in the communal lounge area, but after a busy day, we just wanted to chill in our room. Also, staying in the family room, it would have been handy if the connecting room had a TV.

    Location for us was perfect! Lovely and quiet for the evening but within a 20 min walk of the centre for during the day. The room was nicely decorated, clean and the fridge came in very handy as it allowed us to store some drinks and snacks to take out on day trips. Couldn’t fault the owners. Lisa was welcoming when we arrived and made sure we were well looked after at breakfast. Nothing was too much trouble and the food was great. The property does sit on a hill so some may find the driveway difficult. To get around this, there are steps through the garden and I’m sure the owners would happily assist with bags should anyone need help from the lower car park. Would definitely recommend and if we ever returned I’d happily rebook.

    The drive . The car park was at the bottom it was great and roomy it was a slope upto the house. It was worthwhile but maybe a mention.

    The welcome from our lovely host. The clean room and facilities were amazing. Fridge in room everything was spotless bedding towels ect. It even has a few areas to sit and a pool. Oh and breakfast was soo good with lots of choices.

    There was nothing I didn’t like about the property. Nothing.

    The property was clean, spacious, welcoming, and everything we required was there What was an extra added bonus? Was the lovely amount of outdoor space? Plenty of places to sit in the garden and also has a lovely pool it was within walking distance of the local town talking without being in the hustle and bustle of everything

    Everything. Location was fantastic, 2 mins from dog friendly beach and 3 mins from country park. As a dog friendly b&b it was exceptional! Lisa & Christophe were fantastic and very accomodating with anything, especially the dog, which is rare to find. Breakfast was delicious👍

    Nothing.

    Room was clean and comfortable, breakfast was excellent and the hosts were lovely. We had a small fridge in the room which was an added bonus. The location was on the outskirts of Torquay town centre but only a leisurely 20 minute walk to the main strip. The buses ran every 10 minutes and the stop was a couple of minutes from the hotel so we didn't use our car at all. You could travel off peak for £3 so we went to Brixham, Paignton and Teignmouth during our stay.
