Guests lauded the immaculate, spacious, modern rooms with extra touches. The idyllic location near the seafront and amenities was appreciated. Breakfast variety and deliciousness, along with friendly hosts, stood out.

The Charterhouse is nothing but perfect. The breakfast is all so fresh amazing food sets you up for the day. There is nothing Lisa won't do for you, she is so warming and friendly she just makes you feel so at home. Our room that we always have is spotlessly clean and so comfortable. The location is great so easy for bus rides, walks 2 mins from the beech. We park our car and don't use it again until we have to come home. We found the amazing Charterhouse about 3 years ago now and we have returned every year (twice a year) we love it so much!

We had a brilliant short break at The Charterhouse. The sea-view room was immaculate, absolutely spotless and had everything we needed. Some rather creaky floorboards from the room next door can be heard which could be noisy at night, but we had earplugs are were fine. The building itself is very nice and I bet the outdoor pool and garden areas in summer are lovely. Very convenient to have parking as it meant we could leave the car and walk along the seafront to explore Torquay and Cockington Village. The breakfasts were really delicious with so much choice and the service from Lisa was 10/10. We would love to stay here again if revisiting the area. Thank you!

We had a 2 night stay here and the room we had was a compact double. It was spotlessly clean and the host Lisa was really accommodating and very friendly. The hot breakfast was really nice and sourced from local produce. The location was great, a couple of minutes walk to the seafront. We booked taxi's into town but I would advise to prebook as we had a bit of a wait on our first night for one. Nothing bad to say about it. ❤️

Very clean and well maintained room. Excellent breakfast cooked to order. Lisa was friendly and helpful throughout. A good base to stay, short walk to bus stops for frequent services across Torbay. Easy access to Cockington village. A very pleasant stay.

I can see why The Charterhouse has so many 5* reviews, it’s a little gem within walking distance of Cockington and Torquay. We stayed for a short two night break in one of the garden rooms (Room 1). Spotlessly clean, warm and a comfy bed. The breakfast as previous reviews are excellent. Good selection of cereals, juice, yoghurts and home made jams not forgetting the cooked breakfast which was prepared and cooked to the highest standard. Thank you we will definitely return and can highly recommend

My husband and myself recently returned from a two night stay at this lovely hotel. Lisa and Anais were very welcoming and friendly. Our home had a lovely sea view and was very comfortable. The bed and pillows were comfortable, lovely white fluffy towels and nice toiletries, the tea tray was well stocked with good quality tea, biscuits etc, I especially liked having fresh milk in the fridge . This was also great for wine and beer😀. The breakfast was really nice with a good selection of choices and great quality produce. I especially liked the yogurts and homemade jams . The area has many lovely places nearby to explore.We particularly like Babbacombe, Dartmouth and Salcombe. If you want a lovely cream tea visit Angels on Babbacombe downs you won’t be disappointed. There are many places to eat in Torquay this visit we found a quirky little pub called The hole in the wall , there was a winter deal on two meals and a bottle of wine for 39.95 . It was very tasty . I would definitely recommend the Charterhouse and hopefully will return soon.

We have just come back from a weekend staying at The Charterhouse. Lisa was an excellent host, nothing was too much trouble. Lovely comfortable room with home comforts, thoughtful little touches to the room made it feel warm and inviting. Christophe cooked a very tasteful breakfast. The location was ideal just off the seafront.

A long weekend visit on probably the worst weekend with Storm Darragh hitting…we had the dog with us who usually sleeps in the vehicle which is specially adapted for her…but Lisa said would we like to swap rooms so the dog could stay with us with the storm hitting…she very quickly put us fresh milk, teas & coffee in the other room which was spacious clean and comfortable… We had a wonderful stay with a great breakfast every morning! Would highly recommend a stay here in in a great location and you’ll be very well looked after!!
