I adored this place. The people who run it are top notch. In close proximity to whatever you might want around Torquay, this is the place to stay when visiting.

Excellent hosts - Claire and Stuart are very warm, caring and lovely to stay with. Excellent location and easy access - a short drive, bus ride (bus stop just outside hotel) or 15mins walk to the harbour.

We stayed for 7 nights. A good size room and choice of full English breakfast or omelettes with as much tea/coffee/juice as you wanted although I would have liked some fruit .The Host Clare was very friendly and adhered to the Covid rules. The only item lacking was a dressing table mirror. We enjoyed our stay and would stay again. Good value for money

One of the best hotels I’ve ever stayed in all the world. Clare and Stuart are incredibly friendly, down to earth hard working hosts and nothing is a problem. Simple things like going out of their way to get ice so we could have a g&t in our room! Ok so it’s a cross between a B&B and a hotel with 80’s decor in some areas that needs updating but it adds to the character of what is essentially a stunning property. And most of all the hotel is immaculately clean - Clare and Stuart take so much pride in everything they do. Breakfast excellent. Parking limited but off road, free parking on road opposite. Location great - 5 mins walk to Torre station, 15 min walk to seafront/town downhill or the no. 12 bus is regular. Superb value stay - will definitely stay again. Thank you so much Clare and Stuart 😀

Nice character hotel, Well managed and clean. Our room was satisfactory and ready on arrival. The bed was comfortable and tastefully decorated and shower room clean. Clair is very welcoming and helpful and very attentive to your needs. A great full English breakfast each day, well cooked by Stuart and presented by Clair. Restricted parking space but easy overcome. We would be happy to stay again. A satisfied customer.

Top Torbay Trip
Claire was friendly, helpful and welcoming, and left me to enjoy my stay and the local area. The room was spotless, comfortable, warm and with everything you would need. I slept like a baby and the breakfast was more than adequate. I will definitely be returning at some point, as Torbay is a magnificent area to explore and relax, and there are very high quality places to stay like this for such a reasonable price.

Fantastic stay at a homely hotel
We have just returned from a four night stay here. We couldn't fault the hotel and the hosts Clare and Stuart were very knowledgeable about the area. They made us feel very relaxed throughout our stay and were always keen to assist when needed. We would definitely recommend buying a £5 day ticket for the number 12 bus which allows you to travel to Brixham and Paignton. Another tip is to buy a £12.40 day ticket for the train (station is at bottom of the street) which allows you to visit the whole of Devon! We will definitely stay back here 😊

Torbay holiday
Situated on main Newton Road so easy to get in & out of town. Bus stop outside makes it easy to get into town centre otherwise a 10 minute downhill walk but uphill back! Lots of tourist leaflets available & owners knowledgeable about local places to visit & happy to recommend & give directions. Very friendly & attentive owners. Excellent morning breakfast cooked to order & with plenty of choice.

Ancestry Tour
Ashwood Grange was OK and Clare was very helpful. Breakfast was good and the room satisfactory. Downside was some very tight off street parking, and dodgy WiFi. I had occasion to make a Viber out call to Australia at 11:00 PM UK time, and the call kept dropping in and out and eventually dropped out all together. The WiFi connection was very slow and frustrating.

Great Hotel - Lovely Hosts!
Last stayed here 4 years ago and had such a good time I booked another 4 day break this month. I was not disappointed. A very warm welcome from the hosts Clare and Stuart and the room was spotless and comfortable. The breakfast choices at the hotel are excellent and the Full English is delicious. The hotel is ideally located for the town and local transport links and has a pleasant lounge and garden for guests. It is like a home from home and I will definitely return later this year.

Comfortable and friendly
Very friendly, clean, comfortable and well managed. Breakfast was great, and owners are very helpful and pleasant. Only negative is it is on a main road, so can be a bit noisy if you leave windows open. To get to town / sea, either get bus or a 15/20 minute walk. Also very near Torre station.

Brilliant little b & b run by a fantastic couple. We were on a motorbike tour and as bikers they mafe us feel very welcome. The room was spotless clean and breakfast was great. Nothing was too much bother for them. We would highly recommend the Ashwood Grange to anyone as we would definitely stop again.
