Very good for what you pay for. Decent size room, decent cleanliness. The hotel excels for it's location being a very short walk from the beach and town centre and the very good service.

Great location, very friendly staff. Room was clean , good thing is parking where you can still leave you car for rest of the day after check out. The owners should more worry about cleaness around the hotel but for this money to me it wasn't any issue.

Our short trip away

It was cheap and that was what the place was. There wasnt any toweks or washing things but towels were given when asked for stay were friendly and helpful. Lots of stairs no good for people with walking difficulties. Close to shops and beach which was what we wanted. Enjoyed our time there.

This hotel was absolutely horrendous, the pictures are very generous. We couldn’t help but laugh and thought we had booked to stay in the Fawlty Towers.

Vile! Stay away!!!

Wasn’t a pleasant stay at all! Not clean at all. Dirty cups to make cuppa. Asked for forks to eat some food and they given us dirty forks from behind a bar that looks like was closed down for some time. Wouldn’t let my dog in there! Avoid at all costs! Ceilings have all stains on them.

We wasn’t expecting anything other than a clean room with basic facilities for the price we paid. Unfortunately this wasn’t the case, the room was absolutely vile, quite clearly hadn’t had a good clean in months. The bed which my daughter was using you would have thought it was an air bed the way the springs collapsed when sat on. The property inside and out severely neglected. Initially booked for 2 nights but only stayed one.

Tried in vain to contact hotel to advise late arrival ignored emails when we did eventually get through on phone apparently no English was understood which seemed pointless so we missed booking in also when we went for 2nd day of stay we were told our room had been re sold and they had no room for us. Still they did not respond to the numerous emails sent the day before

Rather pay more for comfort and safety

A very basic (obviously reflected in the price) hotel. My room (number 30) had an open window with no lock (which was on the ground floor so not safe at all given I was a single female traveller). Outside my window was a total mess of huge weeds which was unsightly and wouldn't have taken a lot of effort to sort out. The layout of the hotel is literally like a maze with chairs and tables blocking other areas and many corridors and badly signed. We were also told we couldn't use the lounge area yet we saw other guests in there! Unless you want super cheap and basic I definitely wouldn't recommend staying here

Not happy

Sherwood palm Hotel in Torquay. I booked through the hotels. com booking site. I want to make a complaint regarding my stay there. On arrival the female owner let us keep our bags there until check in later on. We arrived to check in at roughly 22.45pm. On arrival a man said we can't check in they are fully booked and are going to give us a refund, I had booked and paid for 2 nights and had confirmation for the room.  I had to beg for 45 mins to let us stay as we had nowhere else to go as this was paid for. Finally the man got a key and took us to a room it was messy and beds unmade but we said that's fine we need a room so will take it. Two beds were made for us. It ruined our mood for the rest of the night alot of stress.  The next day the female owner was there and I told her what happened, she apologised but nothing else came of this. I had two friends come who were booked in the same room with me and my other friend left they were fine with this as three people were paid for. I asked three times if they could make the beds and bring towels this never happened. We got back to our room in the evening with unmade beds no sheets, no towels no toilet paper. I had to ask for toilet paper. The shower was awful. They weren't around at check out the next day had to leave my key. I complained about the issues throughout visit and nothing was done to rectify this and it was an unenjoyable visit.One of the duvets were mouldy there was dust everywhere which set of my friends asthma

Don't Book it's closed.

Hotel is closed but still taking bookings & money. Arrived at the hotel to find the reception in darkness & unmanned. I came back 2 hrs later & still no receptionist however a workman appeared & told me that the hotel was closed. I asked for the manager & when he arrived I explained that I had 2 nights booked & paid for, he just told me to contact Hotels .Com for a refund. Thanks for ruining my easter weekend.
