Pros:

I liked the location being so close to the harbour and my room was very comfortable.

Cons:

There wasn't anything I disliked about my stay only that I felt awkward at breakfast, being the only single person there with all couples and very quiet.

Barry and Emma 11th to 15th July 2026
Pros:

On arrival, San allowed us to check in 2 hours earlier than our advised 3pm arrival time, instantly sorted out on site parking, and even carried our cases inside. We were taken up to our room,which had a cabriolet balcony as per our booking. The room was spacious with good quality furnishings and decor. Everything worked as it should. Usually, I can find faults but this was honestly faultless. All the little things that matter worked as they should. For example, the plug in the sink held it's water, all the lights and bulbs worked, as did the TV remote. The bed was comfortable with adequate pillows. The shower had good power. All the advised facilities were provided like tea making, hairdryer etc. Breakfast was perfectly made to order each morning in a timely manner and was of great quality. Location was good and the hotel was clean and comfortable throughout. San and his family are genuinely hard working and freindly people who deserve to be successful in what they do. If we return to Torquay we will look no further than Hotel Peppers. Thank you for making us welcome and comfortable (Barry and Emma)

Cons:

There was nothing not to like.
