A Little Gem
A little gem!Made to feel welcome by both Debbie and Rich, attention to detail throughout my stay. Spacious room that was immaculately clean with a varied choice of refreshments, including homemade rocky road, delicious! Great breakfast with locally sourced produce and homemade marmalade.A home from home, I will defiantly be staying again.

Excellent! A real Home From Home
This is the best bed and breakfast we have stayed in (and we have stayed in quite a few ) and value is second to none.On arrival we were met at the door by the lovely owner Debbie who showed us around the dining room and lounge areas before taking us upstairs to our room which, surprisingly, we had been upgraded to a larger room free of charge (we had tried to book this but for some reason we had a problem trying to do this as it was showing booked - note to self book direct with Debbie next time)Once in the room Debbie pointed out where everything was and explained about Breakfast, Debbie then asked if we would like a drink (even though we had more than enough in our room to make our own) Debbie made us a lovely cup of tea and biscuits.The rooms including the communal areas are all beautifully decorated and clean.The room had all you could need, teas, coffee's, Horlicks and a Nespresso Machine and pod's, a silent fridge with fresh milk in its own little glass bottle and 2 large glass containers with water, which Debbie would have refilled if we had required it.On the bedside table, there was homemade rocky road and fudge and a dish with boiled sweets along with an Alexa2 Chairs, TV, Iron and Ironing Board, hairdryer and lovely toiletries in the bathroom as well as antibacterial hand wash, lovely towels and even 2 face cloths.We had a lovely nights sleep in the hugely comfortable bed, and shower was excellent.The Breakfast was very tasty and very hot, with lots of choice if you do not want the full English, (Mega Croissants)A massive thankyou to Debbie who could not do enough for us, it was very wet when we set off out for our evening meal but we had an umbrella so decided to walk, big mistake as we had not got far when a very nice car driver decided to go full speed through a puddle and completely cover us, needless to say we had to turn round and go back to get changed.Again Debbie was on hand to save the day and she offered to dry our clothes andbooked us a taxis to take us to the place that (yes, you have got it Debbie had booked a table for us)We were also allowed to leave our car for a couple of hours when we checked out so we did not have to pay for parking in town.Debbie and Richard are truly great hosts, and all they want you to do is enjoy yourselves, we cannot wait to go back and enjoy their lovely garden in better weather.

Return Visit to Torquay
Excellent room, very well appointed with many little extra touches. Very friendly and hospitable hosts, helpful and courteous. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will certainly stay again when in Torquay. Wonderful breakfast, great choice and served hot and fresh. Having an electric charging facility was a great bonus for us. We stayed in the ground floor bedroom which was an accessible room.

What A Fantastic Stay
Dear Debbie and Rich we stayed with you in October 2022 and we had such a great time. The rooms were modern, fresh, great and very clean bathrooms. We had little homemade chocolates on arrival and you even drove us down to the restaurants in the centre of Torquay. We loved your lovely garden. Breakfast was great. Most of all we felt very cared for and welcome and breakfast was great too. We will surely come back ! Susanne and Verena

Response

Very Nice Welcoming Stay!
As well as the lodge being superbly decorated and extremely clean, the hosts, Debbie and Richard, could not do enough for us. We felt as if we had known them for years.The room was fresh and attention had been given to every detail. The bed was extremely comfortable. The breakfast choice was extensive and beautifully presented. We did not feel at all rushed. The sun was shining and I made use of the recently refurbished garden to relax, enjoying some much needed down time. Debbie and Richard took time to speak with us many times using our christian names. I can’t recommend this lodge and its owners highly enough. We can’t wait to take our friends with us next time we visit.

Response

Thank you so much Jill and Roger for your wonderful review, it was our pleasure having you both here for Rogers birthday!It was great that you could sit outside in Feb and the sun had warmth to it!We will look forward to your next visit and meeting your friends!Warmest regardsDebbie x

Well Done Bentley Lodge!!
We spent 3 nights at Bentley Lodge recently and thoroughly enjoyed it. Debbie and Richard were great hosts - welcoming, pleasant, friendly, easy to get on with, and knowledgeable. The guest house has been perfectly renovated recently and is light, bright and airy. The breakfast was very very good and Debbie catered perfectly to our dietary requirements. Our 2nd stay at Bentley Lodge and we will definitely be back, and would recommend it to others.

Response

Absolutely Amazing B & B
Where do I start well one of the sorry the best B&B we have ever stayed in Debbie and Richard are the best hosts you could ask for nothing was too much trouble for them, the room was exceptionally clean and everything you needed was thought of like most of us we always forget something, like I did my shampoo but no need to worry everything you needed for a shower provided. Fresh chilled water and milk in your fridge all beverages beautifully presented, homemade fudge and sweets left in your room as well Adrian was very happy with that as he has a very sweet tooth????. The Room was lovely and clean the bed really really comfy, the breakfast was top class even if I had to have my egg murdered sorry (Richard) but you done it great. If we are in Torquay again we will definitely be back to stay with you both many thank again Adrian and Sarah

Response

Bentley Lodge
The pictures I'd seen online didn't do this property justice. There had been a recent makeover and all throughout was recently done up including the rooms. The hosts were lovely and made us some baked goodies, keeping us topped up with filtered water and milk. Excellent value for what we paid and would gladly come again.

Response

Thank you Dan for your wonderful review, Rich and I really appreciate it. So pleased you had a lovely week end with us and hope your journey home wasn't too long. It was great you got to enjoy lovely weather too! Warmest regardsDebbie

Amazing Hosts!
Debbie and Rich absolutely deserve all the fantastic reviews they have recieved.Debbie is amazing, she can't do enough for you! This is my second time visiting and I have a further two bookings for this year.Myself and my daughter (8) feel very at home here, it's so cosy.My mother lives near by and I have stayed in many other hotels in Torquay over the years but Bentley Lodge is far more superior than the others!Parking is not a problem here. The rooms are not only beautiful but incredibly clean.They have obviously gone for the more high end look at it's definitely paid off!The breakfast is also wonderful.The fact that they only allow older children to stay is a huge positive, there is nothing worse than children running back and forth when trying to sleep!Rich makes AMAZING fudge!!Anyone looking for a lovely bed and breakfast with the high end look - Bentley Lodge is definitely for you.

Response

Thank you so much Kate for the lovely review, it was great to see you and Ella again after our winter closure and all the renovations we have been doing! We are so pleased you feel at home here and really enjoy you being here. We look forward to seeing you again in a few weeks!See you soon, warmest regardsDebbie

Great place to stay - a cut above the rest
The owner was super helpful before I arrived, letting me know about the kerb issue for low cars (Badly designed gutter and pavement). Once I was there, they gave me directions to places to eat based on what I liked, and to be easy walking distance. I'd got there after a long drive and didn't have the get up and go to figure out where to go. Loved the bedside treats and home made goodies. Sweets everywhere. Super soft carpets everywhere, I took my shoes off because I didn't want to bring any muck in.

Response

Thank you Alan for your lovely review, it means so much to Rich and I and we really appreciate the feedback. We hope to see you again soon, kind regards Debbie

Great little B&B, with really friendly owners: beats a dull Hotel any time.
Really friendly owners, with contact beforehand to check on arrival time etc. Nice facilities, well maintained, warm and comfortable. Good WiFI.
