Spent three nights at Kingsholm towards the end of February. The accomodation was spacious and well furnished. Our room looked out over a park opposite and although it was a well used road it was not unduly noisey. We were on continental breakfast  basis and found this more than adequate. Nice little touches like homemade bread and jam/marmalade, good selection of cereals and fruit. The hosts were very attentive to any needs. The loction was very good for the harbour, restuarants, shopping centre and public transport to other towns. It must be said that there are steep steps to and from the car park and onto the pavement.

Lovely accomodation and caring hosts.

Chris and Teija made us very welcome and were extremely obliging for our 4 night stay. The accommodation was excellent - very clean rooms and comfortable bed.
There was a good selection for breakfast and the room was spacious.

Happy experience 

Just come back from here after a very warm week. Fan in room which was needed . Breakfasts  were excellent, could pick what you wanted each day for the cooked breakfast. Very good choice of cereals, Fruit & Yoghourts if required. Perhaps a little background Music would have been nice. Room was ideal for us & they would have cleaned every day if you wanted. Cannot understand the bad remarks as we had a very pleasant stay.

VERY NICE PLACE

Changed owners now Chris & teija.a nice enough couple when you see them! there were only 3 couples in there.i am not sure they could have coped with a full house 10 rooms!.

I think nearly everyone we're asking for toilet rolls as these weren't in the rooms which is basic house keeping and when they did arrive they were put where the towels were supposed to be! Not in the cupboard.

The breakfast was OK though my partner received a broken egg on his plate which shouldn't have even be brought out but was.the cooked breakfast order was taken quickly and the plates were brought out different times not together.the dining room was bare no pictures on the walls only the nails remained. 

The rooms were not addressed properly each day ie topping up the hospitality tray checking the bathroom etc.. 

On a positive note there is free parking at the back of the b&b they give you a pass which you can use on several torbay Council car parks which is very handy for local areas ie Brixham.

I would just say we have been spoilt with Carl & June the previous owners who were always on the ball and excellent hosts.  Judge for yourself.



Not what it was

We have just enjoyed a 5 night stay at the Kingsholm, under the new ownership of Teija and Chris. Judging on our experience, we find the bad reviews very harsh. The rooms were clean and comfortable, they would be serviced daily, (should you require it), and the hosts were friendly and welcoming! The breakfast was well cooked and you had enough on your plate. Again a lighter option to the full English breakfast was available should you require it. Granted, the hotel wasn't full, but I suspect that guests are being put off by negative reviews. All I can say is don't be put off. Give the new owners a chance! Carl and June were there for 12 years, don't forget,and obviously had a lot of returning guests, ( like ourselves), and deservedly so! And I guess, people maybe don't like change!  We are booked in again for July, ( having previously booked with the afore mentioned previous hosts), and after this week's stay, we can see no reason not to return! 

Pleasant stay.

Having just read the previous poor reviews we would like to say how happy we are with our stay. Please give them a chance. They have only just taken over . The room was clean and we had a very comfortable night's sleep.  We will definitely be staying again. Thank you Teija  and Chris x

Relaxing break

new owners not a patch on previous  had to wait 45 minutes for a cup of tea at breakfast 
breakfast no where as good as previous  owners  also no background music in breakfast
could hear a pin drop  . in the room tea & coffee not replenished  also suspect towels were not replaced  we booked for three days over Easter but left after two  not prepared to spend  Easter Sunday sitting waiting for a sub standard breakfast for 90 minutes
 

not a patch

Always made to feel welcome by Carl,June and Lexie. Breakfast is fantastic and rooms are spotless. No matter what silly questions we have nothing is to much trouble. Great location and 5 min walk to the front and the pubs. Looking forward to seeing you again in 2023 for the air show.

Another brilliant stay

Had a very enjoyable stay at the Kingsholm, June and Carl made us feel very welcome and the afternoon goodies were delicious!  It is very convenient for the town and the theatre.  The room we had was very nicely decorated and had everything we needed, the bathroom was a good size.  Breakfast was amazing, so much to choose from.  Will definitely be going back there.
