Lovely house, 25-30 mins walk from the Princess Theatre, plus short walk to the beach and beautiful coastal scenery. Room was clean, warm, and en-suite had everything needed. Very friendly and helpful hosts - plus a very cute cat! Would absolutely recommend these digs.

Thanks Max.
Great digs, clean and comfortable. Steve and Gary were helpful and friendly. The area is really nice, hilly but pretty. Would recommend the guided tour at Kents Cavern and going for a coastal walk looking out over Thatcher Rock.

Thanks Charlie, glad your stay was good.
First class Gary and Steve are brilliant hosts. The room is a decent size, en suite is a lovely bonus. Quite a hike up from the theatre - 20-25 mins depending on how many times you stop for breath. Don’t let that put you off, these digs are fantastic

Many thanks.

Gary's house is one of the best places I have stayed in a lot of years on tour. 20 minutes walk to the theatre and more like a 4* hotel. Immaculate and a great bed. Very quiet and peaceful. I will absolutely stay again. Thank you both.

I had a great stay with Gary and Steve. Its so quiet, I haven't slept that well in weeks! Lovely en suite room overlooking the garden.
A nice downhill stroll to the theatre, coming back uphill can be a bit harder!
Can't wait to stay again :-)

Gary and Steve have a lovely, warm, bright room with modern en-suite and were fantastic hosts for my stay in Torquay - The black-out blinds were particularly appreciated! It is at the peak of the hill so great for drivers or relatively fit walkers.
31st Mar 2016

Gary and Steve are wonderfully friendly, generous hosts who made my stay in Torquay a most enjoyable one.
The bedroom is spacious, bright and airy; the bed is very comfortable and the ensuite is bright, fresh & modern.
The accommodation was very clean and very well-presented.
The house is conveniently located to the nearby Hight Street of Wellswood and is a lovely stroll down to Torquay Marina with all its restaurants, cafés, supermarkets and of course, the Princess Theatre.
I found this to be an excellent place to stay and I highly recommend it to anyone requiring accommodation in Torquay.
14th Sep 2014
If you want a peaceful stay in the most friendly theatre household, I'd recommend staying with Steve & Gary. Nothing is too much for them!
Lovely rooms, comfortable and clean. The rooms have everything you could possibly need for your stay, and more!
A picturesque walk into the theatre too - do not be put off by the distance!
Thank you to you both for a lovely 2 weeks!

13th Jun 2014
Had a wonderful week staying with Gary and Steve, who were perfect hosts.
The room is beautiful and in a lovely, quiet location about 20mins walk from the theatre (or a cheap cab ride).
Really enjoyed the privacy of the room, which has its own bathroom facilities and is just inside the front door, which means not having to go through the main part of the house.
Breakfast of toast or cereal was offered/included every day if I wanted and the guys were very friendly and welcoming.
Off road parking too.
Very highly recommended.
