The most popular cheap hotel in Britain according to TripAdvisor – 4* ‘luxury B&B’ has great breakfast and honesty bar
A HOTEL located on the English Riviera has been rated among the cheapest places to stay in the UK.
The Trelawney Hotel in Torquay, Devon has earned itself a place on Tripadvisor‘s top 10 cheapest hotels list for offering a room rate of just £58 a night.
Offering “luxury” bed and breakfast accommodation, guests consistently comment on the hotel’s great value and service.
One guest who stayed in June this year wrote on the review website: “Fabulous hotel. Fantastic value for money and only 5 minutes walk down into town.
“Liz and Paul, the owners are very friendly and are very good hosts.”
The hotel is nestled conveniently close to the seafront, just 300m from Torre Abbey Sands.
As the main beach in Torquay, it’s popular with holidaymakers from the surrounding hotels, day visitors and locals with its long sandy shore and great views across to the coastal town of Brixham.
Torre Abbey Meadows is also nearby – a grassy expanse which is perfect for picnics.
The hotel has a variety of rooms on offer, including twin, double, king size, family, and four-poster beds, all of which have en suite bathrooms, colour TVs and complimentary beverage trays.
And alongside good room rates, an ideal location, and comfortable rooms, guests seem to be enamoured with the spotless cleanliness throughout the hotel and its freshly-cooked breakfast.
One guest wrote on Tripadvisor: “The rooms are spotlessly clean and the beds really comfortable…..a real home from home.”
Another said: “No dogs, No dirty stains on the carpets!!
Everything was spotless!”
As part of its extensive breakfast menu, the hotel uses local suppliers where possible, for example, for its free range eggs, bacon and sausages.
Another guest wrote: “Breakfast was delicious. You can opt for as much, or as little as you want and the ordering of breakfast the day before, is a great idea. Definitely would stay again.”
Someone else penned: “A range of cereals , fruit, yoghurts, fresh orange and apple juice, tea and coffee was great, full English breakfast was lovely. I myself really enjoyed the poached eggs.”
One thing in particular that sets Trelawney apart from other hotels is it has an honesty bar, with guests saying they “loved the idea! and it “was a really nice touch”.
As well as being close to a beach, the hotel is ideally located for those who want to explore further afield with the South Devon coastline and Dartmoor National Park.
The English Riviera Conference and Leisure Centre is within 250 metres of the hotel, where you can visit one of its many staged events and swim in its wave machine pool.
Torquay town centre is just a 10 minute walk away from the hotel, with plenty of shops and places to eat.
But if you don’t fancy walking, one guest shared a tip: “A bus runs you into town for just £1.50!”
