The Bahamas in Torquay, England

The Bahamas offers ample free parking for all guests, including an electric vehicle charging station. Safety is covered by CCTV cameras both outside and in common areas, along with fire extinguishers and smoke alarms. Daily housekeeping keeps rooms clean, while free WiFi is available throughout the property.

Each room includes a work desk, tea and coffee facilities, and a private bathroom with walk-in shower in some rooms. A mini fridge is stocked daily with fresh milk and bottled water, and a 50-inch smart TV is mounted on the wall. The property has recently refurbished several bedrooms as part of a continuous improvement program.

The guest house sits a short, level walk from Torquay's main beach and promenade. A 10-minute walk along the promenade reaches the marina and main shopping area. Torre Abbey and the English Riviera Centre-with conference, sporting, and leisure pool facilities-are even closer.

Family rooms are available, and the hosts have been known to offer two downstairs rooms at no extra cost when a guest has mobility needs. Children receive small touches such as Easter eggs left in the room during holiday stays. The hosts provide detailed local maps, coastal walk routes, and restaurant recommendations tailored to families.

Breakfast is optional and priced at £10 per person, offering a choice of cooked items, cereal, fruit salad, and Eggs Benedict. Guests report the fruit salad is presented like a work of art, and the full English breakfast is freshly cooked. Hosts Fonz and Chay greet guests at the door, remember preferences from previous stays, and even cook fried bread on request.
