Ansteys Lea Hotel

Owner Roy doesn't update his available dates calendar, uses an Ethiopian number so hopefully he won't have to speak directly to you should you face the same problems I have regarding a full refund.

Room OK. Parking good but you can hear people talking in the other rooms. Won't stay again. Too noisy.

Lovely building and nice welcome from I guess the owner, faultless.

I stayed in this very pleasant, clean, and quiet hotel for almost a fortnight. Roy, the proprietor, is very helpful, kind, and accommodating. The hotel is within easy reach of both Torquay and Babbacombe. Both free parking as well as fast and reliable internet (WIFI) are available, and a good assortment of useful shops is also nearby. I have absolutely no idea why some people left negative reviews, but then again it takes all sorts to make a world. In any case, I can highly recommend this establishment and am very much looking forward to returning.

We really enjoyed our 7 night stay at Anstey Lea. The owners were very welcoming. Also very helpful in telling us where is nice to visit. We had 2 rooms here and we couldn't faulter them. Shower was great. Beds were very comfortable. Will most definitely stay there again.

Great place to stay; lovely owners, great prices, good location and comfortable rooms. Definitely would stay again, highly recommend.

We love this hotel. No fuss, just plain simple hospitality. Rooms comfy, clean and roomy. Beds are amazing. Large isn't the word. Water heat in bathroom exceptional. Hotel is situated perfectly between Torquay and Babbacome. On good bus route. Roy the proprietor always willing to help.

We was meant to go for 3 nights/ 4 days, we arrived and my partner had to clean the bathroom with baby wipes, the room was hot at night so had to sleep with the window open but kept you up because all you could hear was traffic from the main road at the bottom of the drive (like 30 yards away). Then the hot water is limited comes on for a few hours in the morning then a few hours at night.

Why not just have it on alday (tight arse). We was meant to be meeting family for a meal at 6pm but the hot water doesn't come on till 5 then had to wait 10 to 15 mins for it to warm up so couldn't shower till 5.15 then my partner showered, then me and my partner had to get ready so didn't get to the meal till like 7pm so was real late coz the hotel doesn't have hot water altime.

Sad really. Then the cherry on top was when. The rooms get cleaned every other day, which fare enough that's great, but when we go out to come back to a room that is meant to be cleaned and tidy and NEW towels and you find the same towel you've been using for the past 2 days just folded and hung on the shower. That was it we got our things and we left. Asif the hotel doesn't give you fresh towels.

How would Roy the owner like to use the same towel day in day out. Its disgusting, I will never be returning to this hotel again and deffo will not be recommending it. We left the 2nd night and went to stop in the grand Hotel which is great, couldn't fault it.

Stayed for 2 nights with friends and family to celebrate my sister's 70th. Our room was like an apartment and very comfortable. The owner was friendly and helpful and I couldn't understand the negative reviews. We paid 45 a night and considering where it is and time of year, we thought this was cheap. We will definitely go back again

Bit expensive for a very basic room and no breakfast. Room was reasonable space. I think it would improve his business and customers stay if he installed a mini fridge in the rooms for cold drinks on summer days. Bit of a strenuous walk back up hill if you nip to the shop. I noticed he was having bbq one night but never offered the use if we wanted to buy our own food, saving a long walk and expensive evening resterant. Just would have been nice when on tight holiday buget.

Fantastic rooms. Owner very friendly and helpful. Free parking. Shops just around the corner. Great location.

Lovely room warm welcome when we arrived definitely recommend this hotel value for money and close to amenities and owner helpful to where to go
