LOCATION

The Netley Guest House is ideally situated within minutes’ stroll to the seafront, harbour and Torquay town centre. While conveniently located near restaurants and shops, it enjoys a quiet and tranquil setting overlooking playing fields. The Riviera Centre, The Aztec Pool & Spa (both available for public use) are only minutes’ walk, as are transport links, including train and bus stations. Torquay continues to be a much sought-after, year-round coastal destination, ideally positioned to access all main arterial roads linking Plymouth and Exeter, with the international airport, mainline railway and M5 motorway.

BUSINESS

The Guest House has been under the ownership of our vendors since 2022 and has been run as a lifestyle bed and breakfast with a 5* guest rating on TripAdvisor.  Throughout this time the owners have invested heavily throughout the guest house, ensuring it is decorated to the highest standard. Currently, the business operates on a limited seasonal basis by choice, but there is potential to extend operations year-round if desired. As agents, we believe there is a significant opportunity to further enhance the strong trading figures.
