I had a wonderful time staying with Lisa. The room was large with a big bay window framing a glorious view of Torquay bay. Ensuite with a good shower, a fridge, kettle and microwave in the room plus full use of all facilities. Even some eggs from the chickens in the garden. Lisa is a delight too and Dexter the dog is very friendly. Would definitely recommend. It's a 20 min beautiful walk down a steep hill and then back up if you fancy it at night, but I enjoyed it - good for the heart.

Wonderful stay with Lisa and lovely Dexter. Had a comfortable, clean room with a stunning view looking out over Torquay. Lisa was incredibly helpful with local recommendations and had a thoroughly enjoyable stay.

Lovely digs with a great host, would stay again.
24th Jun 2025
Thanks Alan, great to see you again...until next time ...
Very easy digs and Lisa was very kind and helpful and even did my washing for me as I was too busy! Dexter is the cutest and is so lovely to greet after a long day. Would recommend driving/taxi on way home though as stairway path to theatre is too dark, would take longer to walk after a show.
13th Aug 2024
Loveky to meet you and Dexter enjoys meeting new friends. I always recommend the road way coming home as the shortcut better in the daytime ...
Hope to see you again 😁
I had a lovely stay. The room was clean and comfortable along with the other areas in the house. Lisa was really friendly and gave me some great tips on the local area
12th Aug 2024
Great guest, lovely to host 😀
I had a fantastic time here! the hills in Torquay are steep, but it is gorgeous. Dexter is a very very good boy and likes lots of scratches. The room is very very comfortable, and I really recommend it if you are in the area
23rd Jul 2024
Lovely to meet you, a pleasure to have you stay :-)
Loved staying here with Lisa and her lovely dog Dexter 😍 Will be coming back here next time! Thank you 🙏
14th Jul 2024
Thanks for the review...Lovely to meet you, hope the Mexican hat plant babies got home safely :-)
Lisa was such a lovely host and made me feel so welcome. Dexter was also so friendly and a joy to come home to after a long day at Panto. A homely house with a nice walk down to the theatre/harbour. Thankyou Lisa!
26th Jan 2024
Lovely to meet you, good luck with the rest of your course, and hope to see you again in the future 😘
Lovely Lisa. I stayed with Lisa for 5 weeks in Panto in the bigger room upstairs.
She couldn't do enough to help, she was a lovely landlady and perfect Torquay tour guide, couldn't ask for more. Would deffo re-book and highly recommend anyone coming to Torquay to book Lisa (I worked at the Princess which is a 15 min walk away from the house). 5 Stars from me, thank you Lisa!
3rd Jan 2024
Thanks Ben, fab review... Was it the bacon? 😉 Hopefully see you again in the future...
Short stay due to illness, but Lisa was very friendly and communicative. The room was lovely and Dexter the dog was such a lovely dog!
27th Nov 2023

5th Nov 2023
Lisa has a lovely home and a beautiful dog. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay xx
25th Oct 2023
Perfect and great value stay for working in Torquay theatres.
3rd Sep 2023
Highly recommended. Lisa is very friendly and welcoming. The property is in a very quiet area, and easy roadside parking right outside. Very comfortable beds. If you're booking the big room, take a HDMI cable to connect your device to the big TV, as it is not connected to any services or aerial. But with the right cable, you can stream from your device easily as the WiFi in the house is excellent. Next time I'm working in Torquay, I'll definitely be try to book here again.
14th Aug 2023
Big room, comfy bed, microwave and fridge in room too! Up the hill but taxis available. And Lisa is lovely, makes you feel very welcome
11th Apr 2023
Had a great time staying with Lisa
10th Apr 2023
Great stay with Lisa, really friendly and nothing was too much trouble! Moved me into the double room because it was free which was a lovely surprise on arrival and the view was incredible down across Torquay!
3rd Apr 2023
Lovely digs and a nice distance to the theatre
3rd Apr 2023
Lisa is a wonderful host and Dexter is the goodest of good boys. Lovely room with fridge, kettle and microwave for simple food prep and such a comfy bed. Quite a hill to get up each night but 100% would stay here again.
20th Feb 2023
Lisa is a wonderful host and Dexter is so adorable! The room is very comfortable with everything you need: would definitely stay again 😊
20th Feb 2023
Great place, Lisa is lovely and the view is incredible, though the walk up from the theatre proved unhealthy I am!
28th Nov 2022
I booked the room with Ensuite. Really comfy spacious room. Lisa & her gorgeous dog Dexter were very welcoming. Bit of a steep walk up hill back from the theatre but worth it.
Would stay again
26th Nov 2022
Had a great stay at Lisa’s house. If I’m in Torquay again then I will rebook!
25th Nov 2022
Lisa has such a lovely home. And is a wonderful host. Warm house, comfy bed. Only a short walk (20 mins) down the hill to the Princess Theatre. The Little Theatre is slightly closer.
Dexter the dog is an absolute delight. Would highly recommend.
10th Oct 2022
Great Digs. Lisa and Dexter are great! Nice walk down the hill to the theatre, not so nice walking up. However, that’s Torquay, Very Hilly! My only note would be the lack of black blinds in the room and a lot of light came in during the mornings!
4th Oct 2022
Great digs and lovely host.
Bot of a climb on the way home but very quick to work!!
7th Sep 2022
Great Stay
5th Sep 2022
I had a lovely stay with Lisa, would highly recommend. It's a short walk down hill to the theatre and a very pleasant area!
31st Aug 2022
Great digs about a 20 minute walk to the Princess Theatre. Lovely, clean and comfortable! Lisa was lovely and Dexter the dog was a lovely bonus!!! Thanks for a great week!
19th Aug 2022
really lovely stay in Torquay, good location with a nice walk down to the theatre.
23rd Apr 2022
Lovely little room, big friendly dog and extremely accommodating host. I even got some eggs from horrendously cute hens in the back garden! Location was excellent (despite the hill!). Hoping to return.
22nd Nov 2021
Will definitely stay again if in Torquay.
3rd Feb 2020
I had a great time chilled time staying with Lisa (and Dexter, the giant fluffball), I would definitely recommend!
22nd Jan 2020
Beautiful house and lovely room. Very quiet and closecto town centre and theatre. Lisa was very welcoming and communicative, I very much hope to stay there again, next time I work in Torquay.
9th Dec 2019
Lovely hosts, lovely welcome and made to feel at home indeed! Highly recommend....
27th Nov 2019
Lovely digs, great host, always look forward to coming back home from a show. Dexter, the German Shepard, is fun and friendly. Had a wonderful time.
26th Nov 2019
Lovely week. Lisa is great. Also loved Dexter. I think he loved me too! Most comfortable.
28th Oct 2019
Chilled house. Lovely double room with ensuite. Guests should be comfortable with big dogs. Dexter is a softy really. Safe on-street parking. Bare floor boards can make it a bit noisy downstairs. Didn't bother me. Lisa great and accommodating.
20th Sep 2019
Lisa was very friendly and helpful, accepted my last minute booking after other digs cancelled on me, and the house was wonderful! My room had a fridge, kettle and everything I could possibly need. Great value and great stay!
17th Aug 2019
Had a fantastic stay at Lisa’s home. Very comfortable bed, with stunning views of the bay. Friendly welcoming family, with an adorable gentle family dog!
15 minute walk from the theatre through the canopies of Torquay!
10th May 2019
Very welcoming, friendly. Nice warm & comfortable digs :)
14th Apr 2019
The space was as discribed and Lisa answered all the questions I had, giving me a good understanding of the space. I miss judge staying in a house with a dog, even though Lisa was SO accommadating, I wouldn't stay again, but that's me, not the host.
3rd Oct 2018
Seaside room is great! Pet lovers will adore the huge dog, cats, chooks and snake! Google's 30min walk is 15 with shortcut; take a torch at night. 8 people/1 bathroom seems a lot but great to stay with other cast. Laundromat in town near Castle gym.
5th Jun 2018
A warm welcome from Lisa, the walking-distance proximity of her comfortable home, really made the week. Hope for a return visit.
20th Sep 2017
Lovely stay, thanks!
8th Aug 2017
Lisa is an absolutely amazing host, so considerate and welcoming and has a beautiful home! Cannot recommend enough :) x
14th Mar 2017
It was lovely staying with Lisa! She was very welcoming and helpful! The rooms are all really nice, we had use of our own bathroom and kitchen which was great! Would defiantly stay again! Thank you!
