Charlie and Julie Ann went out of their way to make me welcome. Nothing was to much trouble. The room was clean and quiet. The choice at breakfast is excellent. Parking is right outside the front door.

A very positive experience
Can't fault this lovely B&B in any way. It's clean, nicely laid out, and the owner is a real gent. He helped me with my kit from the van, made a lovely breakfast and was professional and friendly. The room was quiet, has everything you need and the decor is simple and modern throughout. This B&B offers very good value for money when considering the service I received. Top place!

What a superb find. Charlie and Julie-Anne are friendly hosts with bright, light and very luxurious welcoming accommodation. They provide all those important small things often missed by large hotels, like fresh milk in the fridge. Genuinely interested in their guests and extremely helpful with information about the local area and amenities. Highlight of our stay was the impressive choice of food offered for breakfast, all freshly cooked and served to very high standard. Only disappointment was that we only had a brief stay whilst visiting the theatre. Definitely a place to bookmark for future, hopefully longer, visits

The perfect B&B…. The owners were lovely, room was spacious with everything you need and more, including a mini fridge & 2 tv’s! The food was outstanding with lots to choose from including a lovely Spanish breakfast which hubby loved. Everything was spotlessly clean could not fault anything.

We've stayed in Torquay 2-3 times, and this B&B is outstanding. I've traveled a significant amount all over the world and this is the best B&B I've stayed in. Charlie and Julie are lovely, lovely people and it felt like we were being invited into their home. It's convenient, wonderfully clean, the breakfasts are outstanding and get the day off to a great start. We will be back next year!

We were met by Julie-Anne at the front door wearing a huge smile! The hotel was well decorated and extremely clean with a lovely sized bedroom that was tastefully decorated also.

Absolutely amazing stay in this fabulous hotel. Spotlessly clean, lovely comfy bed, fresh milk and plenty of types of tea and coffee and yummy biscuits. Breakfast was sublime with plenty of choice and piping hot. Great hosts, very warm and welcoming. Parking on site a bonus . Cannot recommend the Briarfields highly enough.

Superb B&B, handy for Torquay/Torbay
I was frankly amazed at the quality of Briarfields immediately I walked through the front door. Everything looks freshly decorated, neutral colours, spotless carpeting... My room (No.8) on the top floor looked like it had been decorated yesterday, a small fridge with fresh milk and a bottle of water, comfortable bed, good quality clock/alarm. The bathroom was spotless.

5 star B&B in good location.
Our hosts Trish and Pete met our every needs and expectations and made our stay most enjoyable. Pete's breakfasts were superb, there was everything on the menu you could wish for. Trish answered all of our questions and gave lots of good advice. All in all an excellent B&B , well place for both promenade and town. If and when we go back to Torquay this will be the first place we will try to book.
