An excellent stay at The Glenwood

Thoroughly enjoyed my stay at The Glenwood. A good location, quiet but convenient for the station. A warm welcome and everything I needed including the bonus of a fridge with fresh milk for tea and coffee. An excellent breakfast including fresh fruit as well as a full English. Good value for money.

The Glenwood Hotel Torquay

The hotel was really clean and the room was a lovely size, the bed was super comfy, clean towels, nice bathroom with hot water, plenty of cupboard or drawers space, brew facilities available as well, Tina is so nice and friendly, me and my wife couldn't have felt more welcome, would recommend anytime, and the beach and water front was literally a 10/15 mins walk, which was very pleasant after an excellent day in the town or on the beach
Big rooms with plenty of space
Lovely kept clean bathroom with toiletries available
Very comfy double bed with clean sheets
