Gainsboro Guest House. Excellent
An excellent guest house. The hosts, Gaynor and Richard, were superb. They were friendly, welcoming and professional. The facilities were excellent. Really good breakfasts too. The Gainsboro would be our first choice if we return to Torquay.

Family Break
We found Gaynor and Richard who own and run the B&B very Welcoming, Nothing was too much trouble for them. It was really comfortable and very clean, The B&B was positioned close to the train station, and quite close to the town centre. I would highly recommend a stay in Torquay at this hotel We would go back again.

Friendly, well run B&B
We had a superb stay at the Gainsboro Guest House, close enough to the town and beach but far enough out and well situated to not be disturbed by revellers. A great welcome and very accommodating, lovely tidy, clean rooms etc etc. Lovely breakfast, can't ask for more at the price! Very happy with our stay.

10/10 Exceptional

Very welcoming, given the map of Torquay upon arrival. We arrived much later than expected due to M5 accident which shut all of the lanes but it is not a problem. We stayed in room No1 which is at the ground floor, good sized room with ensuite and got everything we needed for the weekend! Great breakfast and good selection too. Location is great, just about 5 minutes of walk to the sea front passing the train station and about 20 minutes to Cockington Village. Will come back again.

Festivaalimatka
GuestHouse oli juuri sellainen kuin olimme lukeneetkin. Halusimme edullista kotoisaa rauhallista perusmajoitusta läheltä TorreAbbeytä ja kohtuuläheltä Torquayn keskustaa ja rantaa. Huone oli ahdas mutta pärjäsimme. Sängyt olivat hyviä nukkua,eikä melua ollut mistään. Aamiaiselle olisimme kaivanneet juustoja,tuoreita kasviksia yms.
