My husband and I (along with our 2 pooches) have just spent a lovely couple of days staying at the Purple Tree Guest House in Torquay for our wedding anniversary. Ian and Debs were wonderful hosts, the room was spacious and the bed was super comfy. Loved the heated outdoor pool, and well worth paying a bit extra to the use of the hot tub. Highly recommended, thank you and we look forward to visiting again. 🙏🩷

Just back from a four night stay, 2 adults, 2 kids and 2 dogs. We stayed in the two bedroom apartment with self catering. It was a real home from home , very clean and comfortable. The hosts are super friendly, accommodating to your needs without being overpowering. We especially enjoyed the heated pool, little area to have a beer and the games room with pool table and dart board was used nightly. The hotel wasn’t too far from town or the beach and we got the bus back if tired. Highly recommend.

We stayed at The Purple Tree in August. 3 adults and 2 children. The rooms were great! Breakfast was tasty and the whole vibe of the place was just home from home with the bonus of a pool and jaccuzi. Great location within easy reach of everything you'd need. Would love to come visit again.

Ian and Debbie are great hosts and made us feel very welcome through out our stay. The room was perfect for our short stay and had everything we required. The breakfast was nice and cooked to suit and there was continental options aswel as full English. There was a pool and a hot tub but we didn’t use these as we didn’t really have time. There was a games room with pool table which we made use of along with the bar! Debbie and Ian were really lovely, friendly people and we enjoyed sitting and chatting with them on the evening, we look forward to another stay in the future!
