Beware
This hotel came recommended to us by my parents, who had stayed there happily on two occasions - but boy were we in for a shock! Whereas their room had been in the main hotel building, our room was situated in the 'wing.' It was a most unpleasantly situated room, on the ground floor overlooking the car park. Outside the bathroom window, which had been almost impossible to open, were boxes of rubbish, bags of dog excrement, and empty aerosol cans ( guess what had been going on there). Inside the room two of the beds were broken, there was a large dead spider on the floor to greet us on entering. In general it needed a good vacuum, the dust was plentiful and the bathroom was nothing short of a disgrace. We could overlook the fact that it was about 20 years past it's use by date, but the mold, damp and general house keeping left a lot to be desired. Our youngest daughter's camp bed had not been made up with bed clothes, so we had to go and ask, but all that the receptionist found was an o...Read more

Are you the lucky ones !!!!!!!
Despite having read a good review of the Linombe, we went regardless! What a mistake we were on my sons birthday weekend and it all was spoilt by the staff, meals, and the rooms we were given. Maybe we were the unlucky ones MAYBE!

Happy Stay
At the present my wife is training to be a nurse and as she had a break during August and had been doing well at College I suggested a short break on the South Coast to relax.
We booked on a recommendation from another guest who lives not far from us here in Suffolk.
Having not been to Torquay before we decided to give it a try.
It was difficult to guage the traveling time and as we arrived a wee bit on the early side we went to the desk to ask if it was ok to leave the car untill we were to book in but we found that our room was ready and waiting for us.
The staff were extremely friendly and I found that they were always ready to assist in any way that they could.
The room was clean and tidy and very comfortable with all of the facilities that we needed.
All of the meals had a good variety to cover most peoples tastes and the breakfast, well what can i say was more than i'm used to but boy was it good.
The week shot by and we soon were making our way home.
We will most certain...Read more

Excellent short break
My husband and I have just returned from a "special offer" four day break at the Lincombe Hall. We have returned relaxed and VERY well fed! In spite of being a little frayed round the edges(although this adds to the charm)the hotel is comfortable and welcoming and provided everything we required for a relaxing break.The staff all excel at their jobs and are very friendly and professional and the food is absolutely fantastic,by far outdoing some of the higher rated hotels we have stayed in,the choice and high standard every night is outstanding and we will certainly be returning in the future.
