The Briarfields-Torquay

09/06/2026

Proud to announce that The Briarfields has received a Traveller's Choice Award for 2026. Travellers’ Choice (formerly Certificate of Excellence) recognizes businesses that consistently deliver great service and rank among the top 10% of listings on Tripadvisor

Very grateful, as always, to all the wonderful guests we host over the course of the year at The Briarfields and especially to all those that take the time to submit their review to Tripadvisor. It does make a huge difference to us 👏.

That said, I believe it is a testament to all the fantastic Bed & Breakfasts, Guesthouses or Independent Hotels across the The English Riviera, just how well the area does when dishing out these awards. It is not coincidence, it is just very very good service from lovely hosts, who really care about their guests and want to make sure you all have the best possible holiday in The Bay.

Wherever you are and despite all the challenges, long may the small independent accommodation providers thrive and bring a splash of colour to an otherwise bland corporate world! 🫶

Part Two of the A-Z of why you'll LOVE The Briarfields-Torquay. From Award winning service to Zero-hassle stays, this is Torquay done right.

D Details, details, details, it is all in the details. From the home-made shortbread to all the wee touches, whether in the rooms or on the breakfast table, we have tried to think of everything to make your stay memorable for all the right reasons.

E. EV Charging on-site. Travelling electric? Rest easy, no fear of running low on power here! Just plug in, go to bed and dream of the miles of beautiful coastline you can explore the next day (after a hearty breakfast, of course!)

F. Food Glorious Food: Charlie's amazing breakfast menu is definitely worth waking up for. Full English, Chorizo Hash (with or without Stornoway Black Pudding), Shakshuka or loads of other options. Stay a week and you will still not have tried everything on his menu.

G. Gold Award - 5-star Gold Award Standard - which means you know that we don't just claim luxury, we hold an official VisitEngland Award, which is only given to properties offering exceptional quality within their star rating

Freshly made Sourdough from Burridge’s Torquay. Ideal for those Briarfields guests who love it toasted with Avocado, Poached Egg and Smoked Salmon/Streaky Bacon. And because I adore the fresh (still warm) end bits with butter and jam, there is not a bit wasted 😋

Coastal Walks, Spring Sunshine and The Briarfields to Come Home To:

Spring in Torquay has a very particular kind of magic. The coastline wakes up, the wild flowers and blossoms bloom, the light softens, and the sea takes on that clear, glassy blue that only appears at this time of year.

It’s the season of coastal walks, warm sunshine, and slow, peaceful evenings — and there’s nowhere better to experience it all than The Briarfields. Call us now to book your perfect spring escape in the English Riviera. 01803 302 484

Awww Shucks, thank you Peter 🤗
It is a wonderful thing when you get a rave review like this. Releases all kind of endorphins, not unlike eating chocolate but without the pesky calories!
So thank you very much. 🥰
