This was our first visit to this hotel but almost certainly not our last. As others have said it is spotlessly clean, the rooms tastefully furnished and the welcome warm and inviting. As non-drivers we arrived by train and were collected from and delivered to the railway station by the proprietor in his own car, which certainly beats the personnel... More

Each one has lovely furniture and additional goodies to make your stay more pleasant. Val and Vanessa are wonderful hosts, very friendly and caring and keen to make your... More

The Westbank is in an ideal location close to Torquay sea front . No need to take the car into Torquay and try to find somewhere to park. We parked on the road as there are about 6 spaces on the forecourt and it's a bit steep and if your car is slightly low like ours you could "touch the... More

This was our first vist to the hotel. We were made to feel welcome from the first minute we arrived. We stayed in a family room which was very spacious and spotlessly clean. Big breakfast in the morning with a variety of options to choose from. We were extremely pleased with the hotel and would recommend it to anyone staying... More

This was our second visit to the Westbank and it was still as good as last time, The hosts were willing to go that extra mile which makes them stand out from the rest. They accomodated my special dietry needs and transported us to and from the station helping with carrying the cases etc. A hotel of excellence !

This was our second visit, last year for a week, and this year for two weeks. When we are in Torquay, this is where we will always stay. Valentine and Vanessa are excellent hosts, very welcoming from the start helping with cases and a cup of tea to settle us in. Lots of nice touches in the room, which was... More

We have stayed at The Westbank on our last three trips to Torquay, and we always receive a warm welcome from Vanessa & Valentine. They are fantastic hosts and nothing is to much trouble for them. The place is spotless, the food is excellent and the gift for our anniversary was a lovely touch. I would highly recommend a stay... More

Having just returned from a week in Torquay I thought I'd mention the excellent service we received from this B&B. We started off at a well known Hotel but moved to have a more personal service as the big Hotel brand failed to deliver! The moment we set foot in the Westbank we both felt at home, we were given...

After a long Journey, we arrived at The Westbank to be greeted by a lovely couple. We were welcomed into a comfy lounge and served Coffee. We had a lot of trouble getting to the place due to an accident on the motorway, but Vanessa quickly made us some sandwiches to cheer us up. The rooms were spotless and alot... More
