We stayed at the Shirley Hotel while visiting family in the area. Nick and Chen were very helpful and pleasant while we were there. Our room was comfortable and nicely furnished. The bed and pillows helped us get excellent sleep in the Devon fresh air. Breakfast was well presented and tasty, and thoroughly enjoyed.

The hosts are absolutely amazing. Very welcoming. Very Victorian property. High ceilings. A bit of stair climbing but worth it.

The hotel is run down would say it’s ok for a cheap night or two away but could really do with re decorating throughout. Had a strange smell around the hallways wallpaper peeling off but painted over in very bright green. Personally would not stop again

The hosts, Nick & Chen, were amiable but not intrusive. The room was nicely appointed & the breakfast was superb.
Torquay is a typical British seaside town, nice but somewhat faded, but the surrounding countryside (inc Dartmoor) is stunning

Bad service constantly knocking on the door and was really rude and asked us to leave without anywhere to go. When we asked what we had done then just said it’s a hotel for the elderly and we made it clear from the start when we booked we was going to a festival. Made to feel really uncomfortable. And was quite rude.

Had a lovely 2 night stay at hotel. Super comfy bed and spotless room. Hosts were great, couldn’t do enough and lush breakfast. Hotel has character and charm and makes a change from standard hotels. Great location and parking facilities, would highly recommend and stay again.
