  A lovely stay
Lovely staff and food plentiful throughout our stay. Rooms comfortable and although a bit dated, were absolutely fine and clean. Even had a swim in the pool a couple of times as weather was still warm.

  Our 2nd home!
You cant go wrong in staying here. From the reception staff to bar staff, the entertainment crew and not forgetting the dinning room staff. You cant knock the choice of food on offer or the friendliness of staff. The entertainment must be the best in Torquay! It would be wrong to name a few as all excellent. So many return guests something is making us all come back.

  I'm coming back next year.
Lovely hotel with brilliant staff. I liked the location and the trips to nearby places. The food was brilliant and catered for my Celiac disease beautifully which made a change from other places. Everything on the menu was clearly marked and the staff understood. The receptionist was outstanding and a credit to the team, Jess is so caring and understanding and went out of her way to help me.

  Temple Stowe Hotel
Is a fantastic hotel with good food and good entertainment. You can either go on the trips or go out and about. If you require a single room, you need to book early, but they are very accommodating. It is good value for money.

  Templestow Hotel in Torquay
Fantastic service from Majestic as due to unfortunate circumstances the destination had to be changed as very short notice. Staff were brilliant and arranged everything in a very short space of time. Hotel absolutely lovely and staff couldn’t have been more friendly or helpful.

  Great Stay
We have just got back from staying at this hotel, The stay was a coach holiday ,we got picked up by Coachstyle ,the driver introduced himself his name was Rob ,this guy was really good drove very professional down to Torquay & throughout out our stay as we had excursions included, ery friendly & polite The menu was really good ,with choices of starters ,mains & deserts each day & decent portions. Also, the breakfast choice was good as well. our waiter Karol was friendly, polite & very professional, as was all of his colleagues, The entertainment was very good every night, which was really enjoyable, a free bar from 19.00 - 23.00 there was never a long queue & you just had to return your empty glasses to get another drink & show your room card ,this system worked very well, This was our first time & we had a fantastic time. I would highly recommend staying at this hotel & we will definitely stay here again, All the staff at The Templestowe Hotel keep up the good work ,well done & a big thankyou for making our stay very enjoyable
