A wonderful greeting by friendly hosts Shona and Billy. They were extremely helpful with with my car problems when we arrived. We had a quiet, clean, comfortable room with a little dressing area and spacious bathroom with lots of little finishing touches. A mini fridge with fresh milk was a nice touch with a range of tea and coffee. We had a lovely, freshly cooked breakfast each morning with a variety of choice combinations. Abingdon House is in a good location for trains and buses and close enough to walk into Torquay for beaches and dinner. We would definitely stay again and highly recommend to friends visiting the area.

I liked the exceptional service and friendliness of Billy and Shona. All respect to Billy and Shona for the tasteful refurbishment of the guesthouse and for maintaining this level since.
There were no issues that would have caused me to dislike anything about Abingdon House or Billy and Shona.

Shona and Billie were the perfect hosts who were keen to satisfy any requirements we had. The breakfasts were excellent and the en-suite room had all the usual facilities including extra's such as mini fridge and even needle and thread! The location was great being only a 10 minute walk to Torre Abbey Sands Beach where their is an array of restaurants/bars.

We recently stayed here for 4 nights, and could not wish for better accommodation or hosts. Our room was on the ground floor which was brilliant as I have arthritis and struggle with stairs. The room was lovely and cosy, and the bed was so comfortable. Our hosts Billy and Shona were amazing, we received a cup of tea on arrival, nothing was too much trouble for them, they are such a lovely couple.
There is a little seating area at the front of the property which was ideal to sit and relax after a busy day.
The breakfasts were lovely and freshly cooked, my husband really enjoyed his full English.
We would highly recommend Abingdon House, and will definitely be returning.
There is nothing at all to dislike! I suppose the only small thing is that the parking can be a bit tight, but obviously that can't be helped, and Billy was kind enough to move his car on our arrival to make room for us. But we didn't have a problem as we only used the car once during our stay.

The welcome from our host, Shona, she is very friendly, warm and approachable. Shona showed us to our room, explained room specifics etc. Breakfast, cooked by Billy, was fantastic. Felt awful as I couldn't eat all plated up for me, needless to say my partner ate everything! Both Billy and Shona were friendly and helpful, and knowledgeable about the area too.
There wasn't anything to say we did not like, we were extremely satisfied with our stay and when in the area next, we will (hopefully) stay with Billy and Shona again (subject to availability only).

This property is owned by Billy and Shona who were very friendly and welcoming hosts.
Our room was very clean with a nice powerful shower in a roomy bathroom. The WiFi was good and we had a streaming TV so we could watch Netflix etc.
Breakfast was very nice, we selected what we wanted the previous day and it was freshly cooked by Billy the following morning.
The property is located on a main road about 15 mins walk from the beach and 10 mins from Torre Abbey. Free car parking is also available.
If we are in the Torquay area again we would definitely come back here.
There was nothing to dislike. it was very nice.

The host at the property could not have been more welcoming and accommodating. We travelled and stayed there during the recent heatwave and the lady had placed some fans in the room to help try and keep us cool. We requested to have breakfast early and outside of the normal breakfast hours and this was no problem at all. The breakfast was amazing. The bed was comfy, the hotel was really clean! Would definitely recommend and stay there again.

The warm welcome, the little touches in the room. The excellent breakfast and nothing was too much for the hosts.
When mentioning what we were doing during the day and was a little unsure Helen Googled it and came back with the answer.
Nothing, hosts where the best.

Helen and Scott were great hosts attentive and cheerful and nothing was too much trouble. The room and bathroom were immaculately presented with fresh milk in the little fridge and homemade cupcakes on the dresser. There was a good range of breakfast choices with the same attention to detail given to the dining facilities as with the room.
The 24hour service station opposite was a little disturbing during the nights but this was dealt with by closing the, useful to have, blackout blind and the window.
