Everything was excellent location was central for town and harbour. The free parking was good. June and Carl was very friendly and helpful and was welcomed with a pot of tea on arrival. I would definitely go back to the Kingholm and would recommend it to anyone.

We are regular visitors to Torquay, which for us captures the grace and style of an earlier age. We always stay at Kingsholm, an elegant Edwardian hotel recently refurbished to a very high standard , overlooking the beautiful Torwood Gardens, and a short stroll to many restaurants. June and Carl are excellent hosts, and our rooms afford full amenities and... More

We stayed at this Bed and Breakfast on 16th May 2013 for 1 night. The accommodation was lovely and clean and the service was superb. The location was fantastic, approx a 5 minute walk to the centre. Would defiantly recommend this accommodation and would not hesitate to return.

The easy parking was a bonus in Torquay. We found the hosts friendly and knowledgeable. Our twin ensuite room had comfy beds and we could control the room temperature. The breakfasts were well cooked and very tasty. If we visit Torquay again we would hope that Carl & June have a vacancy for us.

A one night stay whilst passing through Torquay on our way to see family. June gave us a very friendly welcome. The twin/ensuite accomodation was excellent. Breakfast, served by Carl was more than ample and very tasty. I would definately recommend "The Kingsholm" to anyone who was looking for someone to stay in Torquay. Only one small comment, the hotel... More

We have just returned from a great weekend in Torquay staying at the Kingsholm Hotel. The room was very comfortable and clean and the service was wonderful. Very friendly and helpful hosts June and Carl, nothing was too much for them. The breakfast was very good and the choice varied. We will definitely be going again.

We as a group of 15 from bristol took over the Kingsholm Hotel on Babbacombe Road, except for one room. Our hosts made us very welcome, and the breakfasts w2ere to die for, in fact you had so much at breakfast you really did not have to eat until the evening. The hotel is so central for the town and...

We virtually took over the B & B, all but one room, and had a great 3 night stay. Our hosts were friendly and welcoming, served delicious breakfasts and and provided a clean, bright and comfortable base for our holiday.
