Highly recommended!
The hosts were wonderful, so very accommodating. Nice, if a little on the small side. Very good location, a short walk to the beach and harbor.

Just returned from 4 nights at Melba House. Linda and Gary were fantastic hosts. We had room 4 which was large enough with plenty of storage, fluffy towels, nice toiletries and a fruit bowl. There was a fridge with water and milk and tea/coffee making facilities. There were plenty of choices for breakfast and Gary's fruit salad and cooked English breakfasts are awesome. It's the little things that make Melba House extra special sandwiches on arrival, cool drinks and lollies, sweets hanging on the door each evening and Gary even drove us back to the station when we were leaving. It's about 5 minutes walk from the seafront and 25 minutes from the main restaurants. We went to Ephesus. Amici and Rockfish and all were great meals (booking required)

We have just spent a lovely long weekend at Melba House. We have never been made so welcome anywhere by the hosts Linda and Gary. The accommodation is immaculate and Gary's breakfasts are to die for. There is many restaurants within walking distance as well as the front and train station, if you want to explore a little bit further out. We shall definitely be booking again and we would Bestrecommend Melba House to anyone.

We booked for 10 days and were not disappointed. Sharon and Mark are kindest,warmest hosts we have ever met. Nothing was too much trouble for them. Breakfast was fantastic all freshly cooked and little treats left on the door was such a nice touch. The room was spotless and the towels/bedding smelt wonderful. We were in room 4 the bed was really comfy and shower great. Well worth a visit you will not be disappointed. Only short walk to railway station and buses. We will definitely be going back. Thank you Sharon and Mark for making our 50th wedding anniversary so special.

Book a holiday here. You will not be disappointed!! We loved our stay. Mark and Sharon are very lovely people who made us feel very welcome and cared for. The room (6) was beautifully decorated and had everything and more. Even the towels smelt fresh and comforting! Very comfy bed. TV. Nice refreshment tray. Very clean and sumptuous. Powerful shower. The breakfast was amazing! We chose what we wanted the day before. We loved the rainbow fruit salad and the full English breakfast. Mark is an eggspert at eggs!!!! Plenty of choice and a lovely homely dining room where it was nice to chat to the other guests. The location is literally a 10 minute walk to the sea. There is so much to do in Torquay and in the surrounding area. We asked Sharon and Mark for ideas where we could go and we weren't disappointed. We loved Brixham, Dartmouth and Babbacombe Model Village. We felt very spoilt throughout our stay at Melba House and will definitely return. Love Helen and Mark xxxx

Me and my husband Colin had an absolutely perfect 6 nights stay at Melba house. Sharon and Mark are the most wonderful hosts and nothing was too much trouble. Our room no 4 was so clean and cosy with everything we needed. The bed was so comfortable with a lovely mattress and pillows. The food was so tasty and Sharon's melba breakfast in a bowl was lovely along with Marks tasty cooked breakfasts and Sharon's too. What made the holiday perfect was the attention to detail from our attentive hosts. A special thank you for the nightly chocolate treat and our bag of goodies for the journey home which was most welcome on our long journey. Thank you so much Sharon and Mark and we'd love to return again in the near future X
