    lovely pool
    great hosts
    limited parking
    tricky location

    the purple tree guest house was absolutely lovely! the pool was awsome, we had it to ourselves for 2 hours which was so chill. brekkie was delish, and the rooms were super clean and comfy. couldn’t have asked for better hosts, they were just the best! definitely coming back!

    the location was a bit tricky to walk to some spots. also, parking was kinda limited during peak hours.

    outdoor pool
    clean family room
    room size

    The outdoor pool provides a refreshing escape, especially with the tempting 32° warmth, perfect for family relaxation. The spacious and clean family room makes it an ideal spot for unwinding together after a long day.

    The room arrangement leaves much to be desired. Smaller rooms can feel cramped, especially when figuring out where to stash your belongings—suitcases clutter the floor, and towel space is limited to a single rail. Navigating to the bathroom also poses a challenge, with doors that cannot open fully due to the tight layout. the walk to the nearest beach has some less-than-appealing paths, which can be a bummer. Lastly, parking availability showed signs of strain during peak hours, so plan accordingly.

    exceptional experience
    limited parking

    I enjoyed my stay at The Purple Tree. The welcoming atmosphere from Ian and Debbie stood out, creating a homely feel. The outdoor pool provided a fantastic spot to unwind after exploring Torquay. One downside was the limited parking, but the experience overall was exceptional.

    The outdoor pool heated to a cozy 32° felt like stepping into a warm bath, making it an ideal spot for relaxation. Rooms were clean, well-kept, and provided a comfortable base for our stay, with great breakfast options available to start the day right.

    The walk to the beach had its less charming moments, with parts that didn't quite mesh with my countryside sensibilities, but it wasn't a total deal-breaker. Depending on your room choice, some may find space constraints a bit challenging, especially if you're traveling with more gear-just something to keep in mind when packing.

    friendly owners
    beautiful pool

    A commendable fit for a weekend pause in Torquay with extraordinarily good value for money. The owners were incredibly friendly, creating a warm atmosphere that made us feel almost sad to leave. Consider chatting with them for a few laughs during breakfast.

    The Purple Tree offers a cozy atmosphere with delightful owners who truly care. The breakfast was lovely, the pool area was inviting, though the walk to the beach had its less pleasant spots. A lovely stay overall, I'll be back next time I'm in Torquay!
