Simon and Steph are great hosts. Friendly and really helpful. Steph is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to the local area. She suggested loads of places to visit and even suggested how to get there using public transport. My partner and I jumped on the local bus service and purchased a day rider for £7 each for the day. Well worth it as you can hop on and off any Stagecoach bus within a wide area. We went from Torquay to Paignton to Brixham, lovely day out. Room was lovely and clean. Tea/coffee making facilities and TV. Bed was comfy. My partner and I stayed on a Bed and Breakfast basis and the breakfast was fantastic. Full English breakfast: Bacon, Sausage, eggs, beans, hash browns, mushrooms and tomatoes. Toast was also available along with cereals. Orange juice was also on the table. All in all my partner and I had a fantastic 2 days in Torquay (pity about the weather as it rained for the 2 days we were here) but we shall definitely be staying at the Atlantis again. Thank you Simon and Steph

The Book Fairies chose this B&B based on its location, as we were part of the Agatha Christie Festival, but wow it’s so much MORE than it’s amazing location - Steph is the kindest, most helpful and knowledgeable host, she suggested so many trips and restaurants that we are so grateful to her for. The breakfasts were perfect, she catered for different dietary requirements and was so flexible. The eggs at breakfast are to die for! The rooms are comfortable and clean, lovely to stay in. It’s a quick 5 minute walk from the sea and then another 10 minutes to the harbour and town, and there are also regular buses nearby. We will definitely be coming back - what a success!

Lovely guest house, very convenient to get into Torquay as only a 10 minute walk away. Lovely host called Steph who couldn't do enough to help us enjoy our stay! She told us the best places to visit and also took us to a road we could park our car for free! Fantastic! Our room was clean and comfortable and lovely and quiet too. There are a few pubs nearby and a shop just up the road which was really convenient. All in all a lovely stay.

Very homely made Very welcome upgraded to a first floor room so I didn't have to climb too many stairs. Help with baggage and pleasant and cheerful proprietor. Lots of takeaways nearby, shops and off-licence, so handy for bus to town centre and train station. Definitely will return
