Convenient for Torquay seafront. Very spacious room, very clean. Staff attentive. A few parking spaces at front of hotel, but at £10 per night. Continental breakfast sparse, hot breakfast okay but not always sufficiently well cooked and no variations in what’s on offer, eg fried eggs every day, never scrambled or poached.

We stayed in a new room (number2) and it was very good but the rest of the hotel looks tired and the breakfast was awful, much better to spend the money for breakfast by going out.

We had a wonderfull time at Abbey Sands!!! Great family friendly hotel. Close to the bay and the shops. Hotel staff were happy and friendly. The house keeping team were wonderful, made up our room every day and replaced teas and coffees. Hotel has lots of character!! Our daughter loved the pool. Would definitely stay again.
