Torquay, Cranbourne Hotel

First I must say the hosts were pleasant and welcoming. Breakfast was very good. however the room we stayed in a cosy double described on booking .com was anything but cosy for more than a nights stay. This was because the room was just too small with a tiny wardrobe propped up looking more like an upturned coffin than a place to hang your clothes, in fact there was only room for one of us to hang them.i lived out of a case.such a shame because with just a little thought smaller wardrobe could have been fitted in. The TV was so tiny it was easier to watch mu iPad again a little moving round and a slightly bigger TV should be standard. I am afraid that a chocolate on your towel on arrival and some complimentary sachets in the bathroom can't replace somewhere which is really only suitable for single occupancy. I hope no one ever booked a fortnight in this room. Please note if old and not to good with lots of stairs book a room here in the attic it nearly did in another couple stopping at the same time

The staff at the Cranbourne Hotel were extremely friendly, clean and comfortable. Breakfast was lovely.

We stayed in this hotel in April 2008 and were very pleased with all aspects of our stay. We were even picked up from the station on our arrival and taken back on our departure.

The hotel is well situated a short distance from the main shopping area and not too far from the front, about a ten minute level walk.

Nice welcome to the Cranbourne Hotel, from Peter.

Family room 12 x 14 !

Went out for our first evening, as a young family, the whole place crawling with drunken teenagers. Tried all over but everywhere in main Torquay is the same. At 10.30 my wife went back to the hotel. I took our son for fish & chips. About 11.00 pm we got back, my wife came down to let us in.

However, the snip on the room lock was broken and we were locked out. after phoning/knocking for a few minutes a "person" in nightwear appeared, told me I was a pain, and some people need to sleep etc etc .

Please remember their lock was faulty (faulty?).

but he would not listen. The drunken teenagers (I was one once) finished around 4.00 am. then the council cleanup squad started about 5.00 am aaaggghhhh!!!

At breakfast, after virtually having it thrown at us. the owner informed us we would have to leave due to "last night's incident" on the word of his staff member without asking us how we saw the situation!! When informed there was no apology just a rather effeminate turn of heel back to the dishes.

We left with a £ 50 refund on the £125 deposit and went to Brixham . What a contrast, quiet, friendly fishing (unsmelly) harbour info shop got us a lovely apartment overlooking the harbour. We had a wonderful week...in the end.
