Idyllic get away in the hills above Torquay
It's just what it says on the tin, or should I say, in my title. Coach House luxury with hot tub, lovely two-storey suite. As for the food, fine dining standard, absolutely superb. It all made for an absolutely lovely weekend stay.
Rooms enjoy peaceful setting.
Set high above the sea which is a short but steep walk away down - and up! Only way to access coastal walking so a car is a necessity. Rooms have character and mainly sea views. Ours had a balcony. Professional and friendly staff. Excellent menu and a dining experience. Only niggle was a lack of variety veg wise. Three nights: beans and carrots at every meal. Otherwise a special place in every way.
Wonderful hotel
We stayed here for 2 nights on our wedding anniversary. The location is spectacular with views overlooking the sea.
We stayed in the garden room which had all the privacy, comfort and luxury you could want. It helped that the weather was glorious when we stayed so were able to make use of the patio area with sun loungers and hot tub. The view over to the sea is excellent and just the place to relax and enjoy the calming affect of the area.
The staff are attentive, although they seem a bit busy in the evening during dinner as we tried to get an evening drink but couldn't find someone to serve us. That didn't put us off and we had some beautiful meals in the restaurant. The location of the hotel puts you in the perfect place to explore the surrounding area, which we did. Take a walk down the hill towards the beach cove and you'll come across a wonderful little pub - the Thatched Tavern. Beautiful.
We would heartily recommend Orestone Manor and go back again. It's one to put on the list.
