Very much recommneded
The B&B was excellent, with a friendly owner and sparkling clean rooms. Their attention to minute things, such as leaving complimentary packed juice for our kids, made the stay even more comfortable. Even though we arrived late, they did not charge for the late arrival fee, which was mentioned before our arrival, making the trip even better.

Short family break in Torquay
Lovely B&B. The owners were amazingly kind and the service was excellent. Super breakfast and comfy, clean rooms. Showers a little lacking on power and one was tiny but was perfectly adequate for a short stay. Definitely one to recommend.

October in Torquay
Excellent hotel in a very good location - 20 minute walk to central Torquay. The breakfast was excellent, the service fabulous and we were upgraded to a larger room which was lovely. The only possible downsides are the wifi is intermittent and the shower a bit pathetic.

Adequate, but could be better for the money.
As a single traveller I was given a very small room. Adequate, but only about 10ft x 10ft. There was an en-suite shower room. Again quite small. I also thought it was a bit expensive considering the size of the room and the Netley's location. Parking could be a big problem if the place was full, since a maximum of 4 cars can use the off road parking. Otherwise its street parking. This is not really a Hotel and could do with some modernising. Particularly common area lighting and modern sockets with USB connection. Mike was helpful, but I don't think he fully understood the danger of locking guests in with a mortice lock, on the entrance door, with instructions for guests to also do this. This is particularly dangerous, in the event of a fire, when the last thing on your mind is trying to find keys, to exit quickly. He has promised to address this issue ASAP. I felt very uncomfortable with this situation as it is, particularly since I suffered badly, in a Hotel fire in Chicago, with locked fire escapes, some years ago.

Superb BnB in Torquay
We have just returned from a great week at the Netley, Mike and Angie are superb hosts, the room we had was spotlessly clean and comfortable, their attention to detail is evident all around the property. Breakfast was excellent with all options available, Mike cannot do enough for you and we especially loved the fruit compote each morning. We used Torquay as a base to explore the South Devon area, loads of things to do, however if holidaying in peak season booking for restaurants is essential as the town gets extremely busy. Overall a wonderful stay with lovely hosts.

Long weekend in Torquay
Our stay was fantastic, the hosts Mike and ......were very welcoming with a coffee and biscuits upon arrival. Our room was clean and of a high standard, no complaints at all. You are free to come and go as you please, and there are travel brochures with things to see and do at the entrance.

The Netley ticks all the right boxes so it a perfect place to stay in Torbay, but the best thing about it is that it is so much more than a hotel, it is a home from home. Mike and Angie the owners really welcome you into their home and this makes it an absolute joy to stay here! I have visited at least 6 times and each time has been fabulous. The cooked breakfasts are delicious too!

I cannot rate this B&B highly enough. From the moment we booked we were made to feel welcome. Room was large, very clean, bright, airy and beautifully made up and presented. Breakfasts were plentiful, home made and fresh with lots of choice. The owners, Angie and Mike really do make the place extra special though; they were so helpful and friendly and could not do enough for us. My husband, our 11 year old and I will be returning here on our next visit to Torquay. This has got to be up there in one of the best small B&Bs in Torquay. Thanks guys, you made our weekend even better.

old fashioned
The room only has a small window above eye level which is not that good, but otherwise it's an alright old-fashioned B&B. The main problem is that on arrival I was told breakfast was 8.30 to 9.00 with not offer of any flexibility, that's not really good enough these days (and you have to specify what you want the evening before). The wifi was not that good either, I had to go out on the landing to pick up the network.

Good service but tired decor
The bnb is in a beautiful house that has not been updated for many years so it is a bit of a step back in time to be amongst the dated furniture and furnishings. The owners are friendly and helpful but are hoping to sell The Nutley so that may account for the lack of recent investment. Our room was spacious but had a microscopic ensuite including a toilet and a very weak shower. The towels were changed each day (unnecessarily in my view) but I would say that they were loin cloth sized and getting dry was a little challenging. The bnb is well located for the pretty gardens, Torre abbey, prom and town itself. Lots to do in the greater area of Torbay. Good transport via buses boats and steam trains. Parking on the drive available or on street free of charge.

Great place to stay within short walk to beach
Lovely friendly hosts,nothing was too much trouble. I have soya milk instead of dairy and redbush t bags and was given a steady supply in my room- no other place i have stayed have done that for me. We were also supplied with a map on arrival to show us how to get to the shops or the beach/esplanade area. A short walk through abbey gardens takes you to the beach. Buses can be caught on esplanade and train station very close.

Superb value for money
My wife and I stayed at the Netley for four nights. We found the room small but with all that you need in a b&b. The room was spotlessly clean and for the price we were charged, you could not fault it. There was a good choice of breakfasts. It is less than ten minutes walk from the sea front via the parks. Brian and Jane were genuinely friendly hosts, welcoming us on arrival with coffee/tea on the patio. We would defenately stay here again. Five Stars.
