Family break
Amy and Andy they was absolutely brilliant. They wait for us because journey take longer as we expected. Amy show us our room and nothing was too much trouble, our son is quite tall for his 14 year so sofa bed was a bit too short but Andy quickly changed our son bed for z type. We have dog with us too and Amy give us all important info about near park and dog friendly places, which was great. Breakfast was really good, plenty of options too choose, if I can give one suggestion maybe instead of 1 croissant maybe 2 as they are quite small and more bake beans.Also in the basement it was quite cold serving breakfast maybe put the heater early before the breakfast is starting. To conclude our stay ,it was very nice little b&b and we would definitely stay there again.

Lovely stay
Good location, nice decor and everything that you need. Parked on the street one road behind the place. Didn’t take long to find a space. Nice cookies in the room and lovely breakfast room with lots of juices, cereals and fruit. Wasn’t expecting all of this, as we had ordered hot breakfasts too.

From the minute we arrived to the minute we left the owners were warm, welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. The B&B is clean, well decorated and maintained. The breakfast is absolutely first class, as I was participating in the local Parkrun on the Saturday morning it meant I would miss breakfast so the owners made a bacon & egg sandwich for me and gave it to my wife for me. We have not visited Torquay for nearly 20 years and was only down for a friends wedding, however we will be returning and staying at The Belmont in future. I happily recommend it to anyone who is looking to stay in Torquay.

Short Summer Stay
My family and I spent a 2 night stay as part of our short trip to Torquay. Although the guest house is on the main road with most of the big hotels in Torquay it does have its own private small car park. The rooms are spacious with small children and comfy. The decor is modern, which is good. If you visit in the summer months the rooms can become very hot like ours, but the owners dig give us a fan. The breakfast is fine and nothing is to much trouble to be provided for you. Overall a pleasant short stay.

Needs a upgrade
Owner nice enough, would have been nice to have seen his partner. More selection for breakfast complete with a menu. Bathroom fan unbearable, shaving light did not work. Shower needs to be sliding rail not fixed head,( women like to shower without doing their hair ) . Only one bedside cabinet and table lamp. Top of wardrobe very dusty. View out of window was not great, parapet needs to be repainted. Tv far to small. Bit annoyed at first to find parking was limited as website states parking. Had to look for parking in street near by.

Clean, modern, friendly and moderately priced B&B
Positives: Very clean; modern decor; Jon and Shelly are extremely friendly hosts; well equiped room; excellent, perfectly cooked breakfast; convenient location. Negatives: Parking can be a bit of a problem; we were unfortunate in staying on the hottest week of the year and were in a third floor room (no lift) that was uncomfortably hot, even with two fans; hot water was somehwat intermitent - one evening I returned and had to take a cold shower as no hot water was available and the same happened on another morning. At other times the water was, at best, warm - I should really have told the owners about this in case they were not aware, but (in our English way!) chose not to complain.

Not ok for a family stay !
The owner was loverly to speak to . But I'm very disappointed in the room . Reason being for one the room was way too small for a family of 3 . You couldn't swing a hamster in the bathroom . Also it was the very top floor . There was no air . Was like sleeping in a sauna , they did provide a fan . But no way near enough. Needs air con installed . My Mrs fell through the bed twice . cheap beds put together . But I will say the breakfast was brilliant and they were very helpful on knowledge of the area. I wouldn't stay at this guest house again . They need to improve the building -makeover but I know it's a serious cost to swallow. Parking was tight . I suggest driving a smart car to park not a saloon.

Very friendly and welcoming with a good hearty breakfast. The only drawback for me was the amount of stairs to get to the top floor. However I was able to 'work' off the breakfasts and by the end of my stay I wasn't as out of breath and felt much fitter. On street parking was nearby but I didn't use the car as I walked - a couple of minutes downhill to the beach and only 10 minutes along the seafront into town. Would recomend.

Friendly and welcoming Guest house
We were warmly welcomed by Shelly and John, who gave us a lot of local knowledge, our room was on the top floor, small but adequate for a couple although it may not be suitable for less mobile customers due to many flights of stairs and narrow doorways. As the room was at the front of the building and rather hot we had the window open during the night and there was a lot of traffic noise late into the night. The breakfasts were excellent, good quality products, and choice of cooked items, cannot fault it our stay was most enjoyable and excellent value for money. Would stay here again if we visit the area in the future

2 nights in Torquay
The owners were nice, helpful and informative and the breakfast great but the room was on a main road and Friday night I got about one hour's sleep. It was truly dreadful. There were cars revving and screeching by all night and scrapping dogs, seagulls and loud voices in the street in the early hours. It may just be that one room as my brother was at the front and heard nothing but it was a horrid experience. We used the pillows, throw and towel rail with towels as a baffle on Saturday night. I managed 4 hours' sleep. There was one toilet on the landing for the whole house as far as I could tell and no sink so I had to go through three doors before I could wash my hands. Parking is a bit of a problem. There are two/three spaces and no signposting so my husband drove round four times and when he found it was beaten to a space by another couple who smiled sweetly at him as his blood pressure rose. We parked about half a mile away and dragged our suitcases uphill in the rain. We won't be going back.

Friendly Quiet Comfortable Guest House in Torquay
Shelley and John gave us a very warm welcome to their Guest House, and went out of their way to make our stay there enjoyable. They prepared a delicious breakfast for us and we went on our way feeling like we had left old friends behind. If ever we go back to Torquay, we would certainly stay at The Belmont again, and we recommend it to you.

Fantastic value Guest House
I booked this guest House as a surprise Christmas present for my partner and me for a 3 night stay from New Years day, so we could meet up with an old friend. Shelly and Jon were there to greet us and helped us to take our bags up to our room. Our stay was very comfortable, in fact I slept better in their bed than I do my own bed. The breakfasts were fantastic and set us up for the day, Shelly and Jon were really friendly and nothing was too much trouble for them. The room was a nice size,clean and tidy with an en-suite bathroom. We really enjoyed our stay and would definately stay there again. We would recommend this guest house to our family and friends as Shelly and Jon are very welcoming and lovely hosts.

Lovely b&b
Stayed for a night this May and found the room to be clean and comfortable the owners are lovely and friendly can't do enough to help. The area is typical seaside town but close to amusements and things to do. There is a pub across the road which is cheap and allows children in to eat.

Lovely new owners
My husband and I had a lovely 2 night stay. John and Shelly had only taken over 4 days previously (the day before a bank holiday weekend with a house full of guests) and were doing a fantastic job. They're really friendly, hospitable people and Shelly cooks a great breakfast :) ( We honestly thought it was the best cooked breakfast we'd had at a B&B - quality ingredients, perfectly cooked). We couldn't rate them highly enough and would definitely stay there again.

Nice complimentary toiletries pack on arrival, more than adequate. Tea & coffee facilities - stocked daily, beds also made daily - I didn't want to leave! Nice big bunk beds - the kids loved these. Location is great - just a few mins walk to main centre & sea front.

very pleasant stay - a warm welcome. Room was adequate and good value. Breakfast excellent and the owners Sue and Gary were helpful in providing an early brekkers as we needed to be out and about. Area is convenient for Riviera Centre close enough to sea and gardens. Locally there are stores for papers and to buy what you forgot. Few pubs and Clubs close by too.
