Everyone needs a well deserved break now and then. For travellers visiting Torquay, the Briarfields is an excellent choice for rest and rejuvenation. The Briarfields is a stylish, 5-Star Gold Award, adult exclusive bed and breakfast with 8 individually designed, comfortable en-suite bedrooms (many with air conditioning). All rooms are non-smoking, with lots of home from home touches, free superfast WIFI throughout and on site parking available. Chef Charlie's amazing award wining breakfast is included in the rate and is served each morning in our stylish breakfast room. With its great proximity to the beach with all its restaurants and attractions, the Briarfields makes it easy to enjoy the best of Torquay with popular landmarks, Torre Abbey and Gardens (0.4 ml), Cockington Country Park (0.8 mi) and Kents Caverns (2.4 ml) close by. Only a 10 minute walk to both Torre and Torquay train stations it is easy to go further afield to explore all that Devon has to offer.

Property's Favourite Review
The room was absolute spotless, the bed amazingly comfy. The bathroom was clean and had everything you could need, and the shower honestly the best we've had while staying away. The hosts however were the highlight for us. Couldn't do enough for us and just very welcoming. The breakfast was gorgeous, full of flavour and plentiful! We will definitely be heading back! Thank you for an amazing weekend.

Charlie and Julie-Anne are very welcoming, they went above and beyond to make our stay special. They were informative of what is around local to do, places to eat, see and go to. The bedroom and facilities were very clean and tidy, breakfast was amazing. Shower had a good pressure. Parking on site and easy to find. We would definitely recommend people to stay here and will be returning ourselves. Thank you for a brilliant nights stay.

Well where do I start We visited this beautiful bnb in June was so impressed returned again in November for my birthday this time we booked the suite room 4 Absolutely gorgeous the decor and the most incredible bed we have ever slept in . With plush furnishings biggest softest towels ever . Extremely spotless and the hosts Charlie n Julie Ann were perfect hosts friendly and made the trip the extra touch in the room birthday card and a bottle of pressco was simply amazing they both always go the extra mile in anything you need . The breakfast is always fresh plentiful and so delicious always think about it the night before such great choices hard to choose think have to stay a week in order to try all the dishes. Simply OUTSTANDING place one of the best places we have stayed . We visit torquay twice a year and we will definitely be staying here every time . Why stay anywhere else when u have perfection !!!!!!

We really enjoyed our three day stay at The Briarfields Our room was lovely,clean and comfortable. We loved our cooked breakfast in the nicely decorated dining room. There was plenty of room to park. We hope to return soon to see them again. It’s ideal for walking to the sea front and town for bars and restaurants and not forgetting The Princess Theatre. You will not be disappointed they are a lovely couple and nothing is too much trouble for them. So don’t delay and book your stay 👍

This is the second time we have stayed at The Briarfields this year as we cannot fault this lovely B&B. It’s in an great location to explore Torquay and the surrounding area and Charlie and Julie-Ann offer a warm welcome. You can tell Charlie is a chef as the fabulous breakfasts are freshly cooked and there is so much choice. The accommodation is immaculately clean and comfortable. We stayed in Room 6 on the second floor which is a very luxurious and spacious suite with en-suite shower room and a seating area, it even has a fridge, air conditioning and a coffee machine. My parents stayed in Room 1 at the back of the property which is a modern double room with en-suite. There is ample off-road parking and Charlie and Julie-Ann are on hand if you need anything. There are plenty of places to eat out nearby too. I would highly recommend this B&B and we hope to visit again soon.…

Just spent a very relaxing weekend in the Briarfields. Charlie and Julie-Anne are the perfect hosts. Beautiful room with everything you would need. Charlie’s breakfast and banter makes for a fabulous stay! Would definitely recommend the full English with a Scottish accent. The Briarfields is in a perfect location, within easy walking distance to centre of Torquay. Would highly recommend a visit. Fully deserves 5star rating.

Julie-Anne and Charlie are friendly and welcoming hosts who are knowledgeable about the area that surrounds their beautifully clean and welcoming hotel. Beds are very comfy, the rooms are lovely with all the little extras that you would expect. Chef Charlie's breakfasts are not to be missed. One major addition for me is the ELECTRIC CAR CHARGING POINT which is available at a very reasonable cost. This b & b comes highly recommended.
