positive:
Convenient and quiet location in Torquay.
Red House enjoys a prime location in the English Riviera town of Torquay, just a six minute stroll from Torquay train station and seven minutes' walk from Torre Abbey Historic House and Gardens. The seafront is also just ten minutes away by foot.
positive:
Some pretty good facilities for a two star hotel.
Most two star hotels are pretty basic when it comes to extra facilities, but here you can enjoy a workout in the fitness centre, a dip in the swimming pool and even relax those weary muscles in the jacuzzi!
positive:
Great home cooked food from the restaurant here.
The food served here has a real home cooked feel to it, with each meal lovingly prepared from fresh ingredients, not reheated from frozen. The price for meals here is also very reasonable.

negative:
No lift for the top floor rooms is a problem.
If you have decreased mobility and plan to stay here make sure you let the owners know so that they don't put you in the attic room. There is no lift here so you'll be hiking upstairs if you stay in one of the rooms on the upper floor.
negative:
Some rooms can be a little too small for comfort.
Not all the rooms are the same size here, so if you take a single room be prepared for quite a cramped experience. If you find your room simply too small just chat to the owners to see if you can change.
negative:
This hotel could do with some renovation work.
Red House has certainly seen better days, the decorating is dated and the carpets are beginning to look worn. This place would look so much better after some sprucing up, a lick of paint and some new furniture.
