I have been using Paul since I started my company back in 2006. Not only is he a fantastic accountant that takes the time to explain things, his expertise and experience have helped to grow my business into the success it is today. Could not recommend him enough. Many thanks to paul and the team

Great personal service - as a small business feel comfortable that getting a good service and affordable price. Xero a great product

Jackie & her Team have been dealing with all our accountancy needs since we set up our mail order company 10 years ago. We have always found them extremely professional, helpful, friendly and understanding. Jackie has an excellent Team who are are very efficient and super fast in getting back to you. The pricing is very fair and I find it much easier to pay by monthly instalments. Having quite a complex set up which includes both a mail order company and a portfolio of buy to let properties , Jackie's team have always given the most tax efficient advice. We would NEVER consider going anywhere else and would be more than happy to recommend to anyone. Keep up the EXCELLENT service ! Thank you :) Conceptua Tuning Ltd

They have looked after me and my company for the last 3 years. Every avenue is covered to an outstanding standard! Very fast to respond and understanding my need fully, they are by far the best accountancy business in south Devon. Look no further!!

Dave and the team at Watt and Co and been outstanding. They have helped and held my hand every step of the way so far. After waiting 6 weeks for previous solicitors and agents to get me know where, Watt and Co turned things around in just 10 days and have given me the best financial and business advice I could have hoped for. I can’t recommend them enough. They don’t just stop at accountancy they will help you succeed!

Brilliant and very helpful service. Very informative, knows and does his job excellently and is always available for help and advice even on weekends. Could not recommend enough and will be using him for the foreseeable future. Top notch.

After after having my account hacked over a weekend amd spending 4 hours on the phone (getting nowhere) i arrived at the Torquay branch. They where very helpful and blocked my account from future fraud however this also meant I could not use it either. However a week later and still locked out of my own account but the pending fraudulent payment where paid? Yet another visit to the branch and again they could mot be more helpful however still.not got access to my funds and now 10 days later. Thank you team in Torquay for your part in trying to resolve this for me.

Very friendly staff, open til 5 on most days, and spacious.

Good service.

Fast service

They are fairly helpful.

bought a fantastic boiler from them they even tried to fix my boiler for no extra charge until my new one came at no extra charge , really happy with it and the service was very pleasant.

Well what can we say apart from Brilliant! Sean and his team constructed a large extension to our existing house and from start to finish did a great job. From the start sean was thorough with the quote detailing all stages and cost, the time frame was spot on and met and the costing was accurate. I would without a doubt HIGHLY recommend this company to do any building work and will certainly use them again should the arise. Thank you Sean and your Team.

In our many years of building experience CHI Construction have been without doubt the best construction firm we have engaged to work for us. We have had some very tricky technical issues with this latest project, none of which phased CHI Construction who swiftly brought solutions to the table, which were not only ingenious but well within the budget set. We would wholeheartedly recommend them to anybody considering undertaking building works of any sort. It would be extremely unwise for anybody not to ask CHI Construction to quote for any project they are considering no matter the size.

Friend looking for slabs

Couldn't be more helpful. The two members of staff that we met here were both helpful and polite. The cars are clean, new and obviously well looked after. We drove down a bit later than the office closing time and they waited for us as we needed to top up the fuel tank and then the paperwork was dealt with quickly and efficiently. We took some cards to place on our reception counter as we were so impressed.

Exceptional service. Friendly helpfull staff. In my experience over many years, the best car rental company in Torbay.

Staff really nice. Efficient service. Getting back out of the car park is a bit dodgy especially if you're in a brand new hire car...

Good service as always. Even quicker and more efficient with new hardware.

Only giving 5 stars because it does not go up to ten .Thanks for the fantastic BMW and service from Roy and his team .All car dealers should follow his example. Thanks again Roy Kind regards . Shaun and socrates

This is the second time Roy has repaired my CND Shellac lamp which I have for my own personnel use again a first class service, good communication and prompt repair and return - Thank you Roy! 😀👍

Perfect treatment from a knowledgeable friendly Steve..

Alex renewed the sun room windows and fitted a new kitchen for us. A professional, friendly and efficient service, at a very competitive price. Would certainly recommend and will be using again in the future.

Excellent service, Alex did an amazing job built a new garden fence, installed new kitchen and a skylight. Very well priced will definitely use again. Thanks

The service I had for my MOT and service was excellent; Darren collected my car and updated me on whatever needed doing then it was returned on time. They are very courteous and I would recommend them.

Not often do you find such a helpful, honest, garage/owner as this, broke down on holiday with major Slip diff issues and all fixed within a couple of days at a good price, many thanks, would highly recommend, Jon King

Good job done on my van. Very polite and honest guy who owns the workshop auto Electrics👍👍👍

Well the only thing i can moan about is not being able to moan lol. Went in with a battery not holding the charge overnight if not being used everyday. Battery was new so it had to be something else not working. Rob found the culprit and fixed the problem and more. A lovely and genuine man. Fair price.Highly recommended.

Fitted me in at branch within 3 days (i was working on the first offered date) I had a call asking if I could get there early. Quick turnaround, did a couple of extra bits to my car because he was a nice guy.

Quality, fast and reasonably priced service!

Best garage ever dealt with nothing is a problem car is immaculate great service

Great service. Lovely guys. Fantastic price and I love my new smart car 🖒🖒🖒🖒

Good service very polite don’t believe what you read about Garry seems a top bloke. Wasn’t pushy at all. Gave all the right info on any car. I will be back to buy a car..... just bought our car on the 4th August meet Liam the owner what service we have had from ldy cars best car sales around. Also very well priced. We have met sum idiots over the last few weeks of looking these guys have been spot. I promise any one who reads this these guys are worth a visit you won’t be disappointed

Bought my car 12 months ago from LDY Car Sales, great safe and reliable car. Just had MOT - passed, no work needed doing. Really pleased with both my car and the customer service from Gary. Highly recommend and would use again.

Great people to deal with. If you're looking to buy a quality car and want helpful, honest advice with no pressure look no further.

Seriously cannot fault these guys. Very helpful when needed and assisted whether it was required. Would definitely purchase from again. 👍👍👍👍👍

Thank you for a superb repair to my car. You are highly professional and provide a faultless and friendly service. UPDATE: Cannot add a new review but someone backed into my car in B&Q car park, requiring a new tailgate and bumper. So this was a second repair. I cannot recommend you highly enough. You collected and delivered my car whilst I had some much needed respite from caring duties. It's a beautiful job and I'm delighted with the result and your unfailing kindness and professionalism. Thank you all.

Having since returned a few times for minor scuffs and scratches to my BMW, you seriously cannot fault the workmanship that goes into the repair and spray work it’s flawless. I personally believe they return your car to show room condition and There is a sense of pride in the work that goes into the repair and I would highly recommend this garage

Had some work done here, when a problem cropped ,The Boss,Micheal, had my car collected and sorted within hours with no extra cost. Would definitely recommend Mallock rd

Very clean and great reputation for go too quality work.

Took my mg to have the bumper fixed. Excellent work, puick service, and reasonably priced.

Both key batteries replaced instantly and for very good price - recommended

Very good, sorted my problematic key card in no time at all

Very good service. Good price. Full profesional. Recomended 👍

Great service, quick, cheap and very welcoming

Sorted tricky locks on a very old vehicle of mine, there and then, with no bother at all, , one particular lock on the vehicle hadn't opened since 1999 !! And whilst all that was happening I watched a steady stream of other customers having their varied lock requirements dealt with quietly and efficiently all very impressive....

Took a door lock which was in a thousand pieces and within five mins it was put back together and working! Fantastic service. Can’t recommend highly enough. Thank you!

Always helpful. Great to find somewhere that is knowledgeable about what they sell.

Friendly staff who know what they are talking about...and if they don't they ask another member of staff who knows more! Not expensive either.

Usual great service received. Thanks Euro Car Parts, Torquay.

Had a problem with a battery purchase, (my fault), went to return the product and they were brilliant. I will definately come back here for all my future motoring purchases and also sing their praises to everyone who comes in my shop, the little supplement company, in Paignton. Brilliant!!

Nice drive and easy to drive from Plymouth

Staff are always helpful .

Went here for the first time last week and very impressed! Had a full clean inside and out which came to £18 and came with an air freshener! Was squeaky clean when was done (especially my leather seats). Will be using again! P.s. accepts cards for anyone driving past and isn't sure.

Standard, did a really good job. Didn't communicate very well and assumed the service I wanted without asking first. Fast and efficient.

Excellent choice of packages very excellent programmes and various price options. We use them every time we are in Torquay which is often. Not aware of one in Plymouth yet if anyone knows of one.

Well priced with non scratch technology. Does a good job on the car and a washes the chassis as well

I have been getting my car valeted there for a couple of years now and they have always done a great job. I love the cafe experience as well as I can have breakfast or lunch whilst I wait or I can leave the car and go of to dunelm and come back later for it. My son plays football so the car is always ground with mud and when it comes back to me it is always very clean and smell g fresh and like brand new. Once I even had an accident with spilt paint and they managed to get it all out of the car and you wouldn't even know it had happened. I enjoy the experience of this car wash better than any of the others around the bay. Well done guys and girls keep at the hard work. X

good professional wash. The lad there went well out of his way and the valet was worth more than the price! Thank you lads

Great service! 4/5 docks with contactless payment for all your jet washing needs! Reasonably priced and can easily clean your car for under £5. Could easily have double the amount of docks and still have to wait!

The best car wash ever. Amazing power wash. Easy to use. CONTACTLESS PAYMENT or Cash. 24Hour. Highly recommended.

Reliable, professional and friendly.

Very good service

Excellent service, a very professional installation, building works made good to high standard explained everything at the end and cleaned up! Highly recommended this company

I used More Heat for a home emergency last month. Superb, efficient service, and they moved their workload around so they could accommodate me as quickly as possible. I’d highly recommend.

I had a bathroom fitted in a 2nd home down in Devon. I was impressed with the quality of the service, the workmanship and the competitive pricing. Would definitely recommend.

Very efficient service. Takes care inside your home to keep the area clean from soot. Advises you of any problems there may be with your chimney after cleaning. Very approachable so you can ask for advise on any matters pertaining to an open fire that might concern you. You are given a certificate to cover house insurance requirements. I have been using this company for a number of years and would recommend them.

Excellent service and reasonably priced. For the last 3 years Quentin has cleaned our two chimneys and we wouldn't use anyone else.

The only chimney sweep association where every member has at least two years experience. They provide ongoing training, assessments and support for their members. Highly recommended.

Very professional business whose aims n focus is on their members and ensuring all give the customer the best level of service possible. Highly recommend.

Brilliant service and value for money

Absolutely fantastic service, clearance of our parents house prior to sale, as well as a full cleaning service. Did an brilliant job and we couldn’t have asked for better. Thanks so much. We would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Georgina and her team.

Used Gorjusclean to clean my oven a month or so ago and again yesterday to clean my 6 dining room chairs and caravan mattress. The two ladies are brilliant, work quickly, are very helpful and their prices are very competitive. Will probably have them back again to clean the oven after the Christmas and new year celebrations. Well the ladies surpassed themselves today, we had our caravan upholstery, our lounge carpet, hall runner,large rug and our dog's bed cleaned in super quick time and it all looks like new again and smells so fresh. Thanks again ladies and see you again.

Great job, great price!

Excellent communication, service and a flexible approach to collection times. On top of this, sensible prices. Highly recommend. Repaired a 10 yr old iPod classic for me.

Great service, they fixed my Mac very quickly.

Had a hard disc failure. 1st class service by these people. Am up and running with no major problems-thank God !

Nice place to find spare parts and repair your home computer.

I have recently used this company to resolve a fairly critical software issue with my laptop, which was dealt with promptly and to my complete satisfaction. The fact that Tris carries out his initial assessment at the customer's home is particularly helpful, and although my particular issue required the laptop to be taken away, it was returned within 24 hours and I was kept fully abreast of progress throughout. Tris himself was pleasant, courteous and professional in every respect, and is clearly an expert in his field. His charges are also very reasonable and represent excellent value for money. I would have no hesitation in recommending his services to anyone with a "computer problem".

We had a problem with our PC which we use for our business after an update prevented us from logging in. Tris was brilliant and came out and sorted it in a timely and professional manner. We have used other people in the past but would definitely use Tris again in the future and also recommend him to others. Reliable, nicely priced and professional.

Excellent design team for all your marketing needs

Web Design Devon - helpful, friendly people

Very helpful and friendly lady. Extremely pleased with the outcome of her work. She was throughly professional throughout and strived to help me get the best results in her photos for my site. Totally reliable and easily approachable I would recommend her services amongst all others if you want the very best.

"Jana made herself indispensable throughout the creation of our new website - offering valuable and insightful advice on how to present our theatre company in the best light. She has a keen sense of what works in relation to layout/formatting, visual design and written content. Her knowledge and understanding of WordPress meant she could gauge what functions we'd be utilising the most and explain in a concise, clear manner how we can navigate around the dashboard to achieve what we wanted with real ease. Thorough, amenable and professional - I highly recommend working with Jana. We look forward to continuing our working relationship with Jana in the future, as she is a collaborator with great artistic sensibilities who really rises to the challenge!" Paul Lawless (Brave Bold Drama - Award-winning, Bristol based theatre company)

Great company to work with, always on hand offering expert advise. It's essential to have someone professional looking after your website. My business - Salcombe Dinghy Sailing - definitely recommends Slim Design. Cheers Steve!

We have used Slim Design and Print for nearly 4 years now and they have just got better and better. They are always up to date with designs that are on trend and offer a quick, professional service. Would highly recommend!

Great coffee and tea. Delicious cakes. Excellent attention to customer. We'll keep going while in town. Good value for money.

Tasty coffee, always cold water and cups available for yourself or pet on a hot day. Excellent

Been a favourite place for breakfast in Torquay for a while for the food. Had a bit of a make over recently and now the place looks fantastic as well. Real cosy atmosphere and friendly staff.

Love the coffee bean by far the best breakfast in the bay!

Fast effective service from the individual who came to fix our washer dryer. Reasonable rates charged for the work undertaken. Will recommend and will have him back if there is any further work to be done.

I can’t thank Magic Machines of Torquay enough, after blowing one of the vacuums in my hot water extraction machine, Magic Machines saved the day, and was able to get me back up and running the same day. A very fast, friendly and efficient service. Will definitely be using again. Thank you

Magic Machines provides an outstanding service. I am really happy with the customer service and quality of work. Big thanks to Magic.

The Company is with new owners and the dispute I had with the old one has now been swiftly resolved. I ordered a Carbon Dioxide Alarm from SD Fire Alarms on line. in January 2017. When it arrived, it was clearly old stock. My complaint was not answered. HOWEVER as soon as the company's r new owners took it over, I received a phone call offering to replace the old alarm immedietely. A new alarm arrived promptly, which is of a higher spec than the one ordered. This is great customer service from the new team.

I just wanted to say thanks for getting the test key to me so quickly before the audit. I would highly recommend this shop to anyone +++

Latch went on our door of microwave. Took s while but was fixed well and still using

Bright house is always going to get mixed reviews as they are very expensive but Torquay do have a helpful team who will bend the rules if it means they can help you

Great service but quite expensive

Well 2 guys absolutely brilliant! No ripp off they did what was needed and explained everything, showed me the video and advised really well. No hesitation in calling them again, hopefully I wont need to though! Keep it local support your local businesses, I believe in this. Thank you.

Arrived promptly, sorted out the problem and did a thorough camera survey of all my drains. Very professional service and reasonably priced.

I passed my test under the guidance of Marc Rosindale from Williams Driving School. He was a really relaxed instructor who walked me through everything I needed to know, I felt relaxed in the car and had some good jokes whilst learning. He helped me from the basics all the way up to where I am now and I really appreciate it. One of the best things about Marc is how he adapts the teaching to suit his student. it's not the same for all and that is really helpful to encourage every pupil. I would highly recommend Marc because he's fun, relaxed and good at what he does. Thanks

Excellent service offered by Williams Driving School. Dave was superb in helping me pass my driving test with relatively no set backs. As a coach myself, I really appreciated Dave’s approach to learning and teaching. He is clearly a very experienced instructor with a firm grasp of how pupils should be taught. Dave’s understanding of how people learn has clearly been underpinned by research and study into this subject. As the head of the company, you can only trust that this approach has been instilled in all who work under him. Thank you for the experience Dave and Williams Driving School, I couldn’t recommend you more to other potential students. Sonny

Passed first time, david makes you feel so comfortable driving and helps with any mistakes, I've always been a nervous learner and dave made me overcome them without me even realising. He had all the confidence in me passing where as i didn't and i done it!! Highly recommend for a driving instuctor. Will miss our weekly catch up and lessons.

From my very first driving lesson until my successful pass today, I've been with Highway Driver Training. I was impressed from the start by David's patience and methods. He explains things clearly, breaks down the manoeuvres into understandable chunks and, if you make a mistake, will tell you how to rectify it. If you want a reliable instructor who is motivated to help you succeed, I recommend Highway Driver Training (very highly). I wouldn't go anywhere else and I intend to go back for some motorway lessons now I've passed!

When I first started looking into driving lessons, I walked straight to NA DVLA test center 'cause it was only round then corner and asked about intensive courses. Dan, from first gear happened to be there, approached me and talked me through everything I needed to do. Although lessons did not continue with Dan due to complications, I don't think I could have asked for a better instructor starting out as a learner. Great character and definitely knows what he's doing. Cheers Dan

Brilliant! A large family means more than one driving lesson trauma for the brood so what a relief when we finally chose the right tuition and chose a driving School that demonstrated a friendly professionalism that surpassed all previous experiences. Well done First Gear... will definitely be sending the grand children your way soon!

The roof on my wifes Astra Twin Top decided to stop working, I was put into contact with Jason, he booked me in and the car was fixed very quickly. I would not hesitate to recommend. Many thanks ;)

Brilliant diagnostic technician, sorted problem very quickly and effectively, great service.

Nigel is very knowledgeable and very fair. Took my car in to have a recon automatic gearbox and he called to say it was not needed and suggested another cause of my issues, saving me thousands of pounds. Nigel was always courteous and spent time explaining the problems. I highly recommend Torquay Transmissions for your gearbox needs. I see comments about it being hard to get to but, just because it isn't where you expect, doesn't make it difficult. The garage is very well equipped and we found and got to it with no difficulty.

Well recommend. Short notice I called and within 3 days my van was fixed with an gearbox rebuilt. Thanks Torquay Transmission

Great service .car was park over winter need a new cam belt .Alex got it going like a dream at a very reasonable price 😀😀

We broke down with a fan belt issue on a Friday night and were recovered to our hotel in Paignton. Next day we bought a new fanbelt but asked Torbay Mobile Mechanics to fit it for us. They came that evening but on further inspection, it turned out the water pump had gone too, so they sourced a new one for our fairly rare vehicle and fitted it on the Monday to get us back on the road. Brilliant service at a reasonable price

Feel free to give us a call no mater how big or small your requirements are. We would be happy to help

outstanding service as always

Quick response time - professional and friendly, would definitely use again. Highly recommend.

PES Electrical was quickly able to assess the problem and he fixed it on the spot!!! Awesome job, awesome pricing. Will DEFINITELY use his services for any electric needs in the future!!! Would recommend him very highly!!!

Agency calls are normally a nightmare and quality is bad. But these guys only deal with sales and canvassers. Competitive rate, good company, would highly recommend.

Emmerson Ross are a great and helpful job agency. I discussed with Clare with what I’m exactly looking for, and she took that on board. Clare is great with matching the right candidates for the right roles. Clare has supported me and gave me great tips for the interview and I got the job there and then. Great service, and Great communication!

I have dealt with several recruitment agencies in the past but Emmerson Ross is by far the best one, I would like to highly recommend Clare for her outstanding service and help. Clare has always been honest and helpful during the whole process, from the beginning to the end Clare was able to answer all my queries and emails in matter of minutes most of the time, she is definitively an efficient person, If you are looking for someone to help you get a job, or are looking for employees, don't think it twice, Clare is your best bet. Thank you Clare. A.B

I booked a bouncy castle for my daughters birthday and this company was great. They turned up on time and the equipment was clean and it made the party amazing. I will definitely be using this company again.

Alan, Leonie and the team provided a great day out for the children and adults alike at a recent event in Paignton! Nothing was too much trouble and they made our day! Thanks guys :-)

Great shop with a good selection of toys. Should be able to find something for your budget and the staff were very helpful. With real toy shops few and far between, this is a real gem. Even when busy, the staff get people through the tills quickly and with a smile.

Every time we go in we get lovely experiences and the staff are so friendly with my autistic son

My daughter had her birthday party hosted by Alan and he made it hassle free for the adults and kept the children entertained for a solid 2 hours straight. The children loved it with a magic show then a disco. Would recommend to anyone for their child to have their birthday party with him! Thankyou Alan!

Brilliant. Absolutely loved it. All the children had a great time and were all enthralled Very reasonable and prompt. Great all round service with music included. Will definitely book again

Thank you so much, UK Entertainments! You really were one of the highlights of our wedding! And so many guests agreed! So unique and catered to all. We really appreciated how you got toddlers to my grandparents up and getting involved from dancing to walking the plank! Not your regular disco. Not only was Nick a great DJ, he was wonderful when entertaining the children and adults alike with his 'Cube' inspired games. So helpful, professional and considerate. You just seemed to know exactly what we wanted and made the evening the best night of our lives.

After all this time i have finally done it 5 stars what a really nice guy and a fantastic DJ thank you for so many fabtastic nights in the Spinning Wheel Paignton

Fantastic service, our house sold in less than a week from signing up with Connells and before it even went live on their site. Very smooth process and very impressed with their professionalism and proactive approach. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to sell their property.

Had Simon door knock my house normally I don’t give people knocking my door any time! But I must say he was well worth my time, his manor and approach was great and given I had been on the market for 4 months with very little luck I decided to trust him. He marketed at the same price and What a breath of fresh air very proactive got us 4 viewings before it’s even on the internet and now believe we will sell. Would highly recommend Simon and his team!!

Recently purchased through John Lake and can honestly say it was the best estate agency experience we have had in over 30 years of buying and selling. Paul was particularly good, always keeping us up to date and emailing/calling often out of hours. It was a tricky purchase with many legal hiccups, but Paul's persistence and humour were appreciated throughout. This is a company which understands customer service and goes way above and beyond the norm. Thank you to the whole team.

I have dealt with the John Lake Lettings Department for some time now and have only one word to describe them '"FLAWLESS". From management and negotiators, to admin and accounts, they have always gone beyond their duty to satisfy any requests or needs required from them. Their professional, courteous and friendly approach will endlessly be appreciated and recommended.

Excellent

Great service from people who know what they are talking about. Steve could not have been more helpful and is not afraid to think outside the box, coming up with a tailor-made plan to suit my own particular situation.

We received excellent, unbiased advice which has saved us thousands! At no time did we feel under pressure to proceed with our investment option, and now we have, we just wish we had done it sooner! Fantastic work by the team at the Pension Drawdown company. I will happily recommend you to all of our friends and family.

Very helpful and informative. When I first got in contact I didn't know about or even understand pension drawdown. However, the advisors on the phone are very easy to talk to and explained everything to me in great detail and in such a way that I understood. I have recommended this company to two friends already.

Howard financial were fantastic at helping us find the right mortgage and life insurance. They worked very hard and kept us well informed at all times. FANTASTIC!

Very professional team. Best brooker I ever met.Strongly recommended.. Thank you

My family and I could not recommend Torbay and District Funeral Services more highly. Their kind and sensitive manner with which they helped us through a very difficult time, was very much appreciated. Amanda, who guided us gently through the process, took the time to listen to our memories and helped us to decide on the perfect service for our Dad. She kept in regular contact throughout, to check that everything was just as we wanted. Amanda dealt with everything, from contacting the chaplain, to making arrangements for the wake, to making sure a CD was sent to the crematorium and that it played correctly, nothing was too much trouble. Sarah, who supported us on the day of the funeral couldn’t have been more lovely or professional, reassuring us all that we could get through this. The service itself was beautiful and we couldn’t be more grateful to Sarah and her team for the wonderful send off they arranged for a wonderful husband and Dad. Thank you so much

Faced with a sudden death in the family left us in the difficult position of having to organise a funeral service at short notice. Having read several reviews on line we decided to visit Torbay and District Funeral Service in Torquay. We met with Sarah who we immediately warmed to. She was compassionate, caring and took us through all the steps in the process enabling us to make difficult decisions during what is a very sad and stressful time. We were consulted at every point and were in close contact with Sarah throughout the whole process. She took all the worry and uncertainty away from us and lifted a great load off our shoulders. Her professionalism was outstanding. We were treated with the utmost respect and my late Step-Father was afforded every dignity one could imagine. He would have been happy to note every detail that was done for him. The day of the service was amazing and everything was done professionally but with a very personal feel. I would highly recommend this service, it was like having a good friend take over and deal with proceedings, the guidance and advice given was second to none. The whole team were very caring and took every step to ensure a first class service. Jan & Bill Meadows

I have used Drakes three times in as many years for good reason. Stuart and his team are extremely helpful and supportive. Their Chapel is also ideal, making the service very personal and without any pressure.

I attended a friends funeral on Friday directed by Stuart Drake. He was kind, courteous and professional. I would not hesitate to recommend or use their services myself if the need arose.

Best garden services in Torbay! Just look at the testimonials! I hired Remco to tend to my large garden in Babbacombe. Jerry took out the work, and completed it efficiently, and at a reasonable price. I was surprised at the fast rate he worked, and the job was complete within 4 hours (I was previously quoted over 8 hours by local competitors at a much higher price). Fantastic service, me and my husband have been very happy with the end result.

Great service from Matt and his team

Absolutely fantastic company they sorted my overgrown garden out A big thank you to the guys very hardworking & reliable

Professional service from start to finish. Inspired Landscaping provided a full breakdown of the quote for the job so I knew what each element was costing. Also, once the quote was accepted, I was given a payment plan to follow which lasted throughout the whole contract, I found this to be beneficial and a good way of spreading the cost. On the basis of the professionalism from the start (broken down written quote and a payment plan) I recommended Inspired Landscaping to my family and friends before the work had even started. The standard of the work was extremely high and we are more than satisfied with the finished result. I will continue to recommend Inspired Landscaping to my friends and family and would use them again should the need arise.

Inspired landscaping did a great job in our garden! Love our new picket fence, gate and planters! Very friendly and great at what they do!

Traditional hairdresser with an excellent friendly and efficient service. Highly recommended.

Used Shear Genius for the first time in june. I had just moved down from Birmingham and had had the same hairdresser for 10 years. Jane did a great job. Will be using this hairdressers from now on.

An excellent hairdressers in Babbacombe! Always welcoming and friendly. Leanne is fantastic and has been colouring, highlighting and cutting my hair for years - I wouldn't go anywhere else!!!

Great salon and Tony is very good

Friendly salon with reasonable prices. Would recommend!

Friendly staff and quality cuts. No appointment necessary so no worries if your plans change. Have been using them for a couple of years and I wouldn't go anywhere else now.

never a bad haircut and great staff 😁

Good friendly barber shop! Good pricing and parking across the road in carpark or free parking on the road.

I've been a regular customer here for over 4 years. I always get a good haircut. The barbers are all friendly and are happy to chat as they work.

Great place the girls where all really friendly . Haven't had many good experiences with hair dresses but the girl that cut my hair was amazing we spoke for a little while about what I wanted how I wanted my hair to look and so on very very happy with the end result and worth every penny!! Definitely recommend this place to anyone! I like them so much I'm having my hair styled by them for my wedding !!!

Booked an appt over a month ago to have my hair done for a special occasion. Confirmed my appt early this morning with them. Just had a call from them to say they had overbooked and wouldn't be able to fit me in. Shoddy and sloppy service... won't be making any more appts there!!!!

Very good hairdressers and lovely staff.

Brilliant, thank you.

Nice owner. Prices are little bit higher but still worth paying for good company and skills ☺

Fabulous salon, hair done perfectly, staff friendly and attentive, would definitely recommend

Very good attendance and experience cutter a little pricey now as adding on extras all the time not like when they first opened.

Lovely staff good quality service and amazing value

I Have used Seaway for our business fleet insurance as well as landlords insurance for the last three years, have always found them to be very professional, competitively priced and efficient. Would highly recommend.

Outstanding service! I was worried I wouldn’t get home insurance as my house is unoccupied and I am having a £120K building renovation done. I found Bespoke Quote online, filled in their form and was covered the same day after someone called me. Hassle free, quick and easy! Can’t thank them enough!

I couldn't recommend this company more highly and have been very satisfied with the service received. I needed insurance very quickly and had limited time to obtain this- not an issue for the staff in the slightest, very efficient, fast and no hassle whatsoever, most importantly saving a huge amount compared with the quotes supplied by comparison sites. I will always use Riviera Insurance in the future, feeling confident that I will be getting the best price possible but also being able to deal with staff over the phone or face to face makes the whole experience much more reassuring.

Over 100 pound cheaper than my existing van quote, friendly, personal and professional service. Fast to set up and paperwork arrived within a few days. Highly recommended .... so much easier than using a search website and entering all the details myself. Thanks riviera insurance!!

My Pug stayed over for one night while I was moving home. Lovely family! Well recommended x

I hired Chelston Decorators to carry out a full refurbishment of my property in Torquay. They showed true professionalism from start to finish. I couldn't rate them highly enough.

Chelston decorators, provide an excellent service with great value for money. Would recommend.

Following an accident which resulted in my mum having a large hole in her plasterboard wall, I contacted R.Gwilliam and was quoted a very good price for the work to be completed. I was a little concerned that it would be ‘cheap and cheerful’, so when the work was finished in record time, I was astounded to see the level of professionalism. As my mum said, ‘ you won’t believe it, the hole has gone-I can’t see where it was!’ Highly recommended, I wouldn’t hesitate to use this company again.

Richard has just finished painting the exterior of our house and replacing the facia boards, they have done a wonderful job, I would highly recommend them to anybody, once again thank you Richard and Neil for a marvelous job.

I fully recommend JML Property Maintenance and will not hesitate to recommend to family and friends. Very friendly, knowledgeable, great timekeeping and reasonable rates. The quality of the work we had carried out is of a very high standard and very clean and tidy at the end of each day. The work was carried out during bad weather and care was taken not to bring in dirt when coming in and out of the house. 5 star from me and will use JML services again in future.

Joe came over to repair the sash windows in our holiday home and did a fantastic job. He arrived on time and as agreed, just getting on with the job and leaving everything tidy. We have already booked him up for future works and have no hesitation in recommending him and his work.

Amazing people have known these guys for yrs and must say there work is flawless

A great couple to have look after our wedding interests. Provided detailed information regarding services available. Very happy to recommend.

I did work experience here and was blown away with the pictures and their qaulity and how they treated their customers. Would definitely recommend

Just wanted to say a massive thankyou to Mel for an amazing shoot! Mum and I love the photos and had an absolute blast with you in the studio. Couldnt recommend Mel highly enough to anyone considering having a photo shoot of any kind. Will definitely use you again! Thanks again Mel xx

Lovely people going to do our wedding pictures

Very efficient, tidy work and wasn't a rip off! Had a new boiler fitted and I am very happy with the turn around. Highly recommended, plus Dan is a really nice guy.

Top guy! Left voicemail, was prompt on reply. Came round, prognosed the problem and dealt with it quickly. Cheap rate! Most integral plumber around. The rest are cowboys and have taken advantage! Needless to say, this plumbers number has been saved into my contacts.

I was incredibly anxious to discover a leak in an old plastic feeder that was caused a soaked plasterboard ceiling and water to seep through the wall below. Fearing the worst I contacted the insurance company who advised contacting a local plumber - great, but where do you start? Hundreds of options to choose from and no idea who you can (or cannot) trust. Luckily I went for South West Plumbing - a decision based purely on the handful of positive reviews on Google. Glad to say I made a good choice - from the initial call to the completion of work I can only report a positive experience. Tom, who carried out the work, was polite, well mannered and very knowledgable. He was able to replace a faulty section of pipe and remedy the problem. All done and dusted in less than an hour, with the overall bill being far less than I had expected (less than some plumbers charge just for call out) - and no need to claim on insurance! Overall am very impressed (and mightily relieved) with my experience and would definitely use their services again.

Excellent service from start to finish, competitively priced and pleasant professional people. I won't hesitate to recommend this firm.

Stuart was generous with his time and took a lot of trouble to make sure we got what we wanted and what would work in the space we had. Both Stuart and his team were unfailingly courteous and professional. I would not hesitate to recommend.

Never had a problem really nice guy so helpful and polite top quality product would recommend to anyone 👌😊

Plenty of good clothes and staff extremely helpful + many print design's to choose from.

First class service as always. Products look amazing. Many thanks x

Excellent service and value. I arrived with over 200 pages of documents to copy for immigration extension visa. 200 pages in 7 separate folders (single and double sided). Hayden couldn't have been more helpful. Some of the bank statements were printed on very thin paper and as such needed to be deeded through by hand. After helping me out and double checking everything, I was given the bill and it was very reasonable. A highly recommended place. P.S. Hayden, we got a yes. Thank you.

I cannot rate Copy Print & Design enough. They went above and beyond to help us out with some printing on Friday. We arrived from Bristol to run a bar at Grinagog festival but forgot our price lists. This guy was just closing to go on holiday for the weekend but ended up running late to help us out. On that note I would personally like to say a massive thank you. You were a true star 🙂

What a great professional removal company this is. Tony and his team of 3 guys were super efficient, very careful but also speedy, and couldn’t do any wrong in my eyes. On arrival at our new house, they then put all the boxes and furniture in all the rooms that were labelled, or, where I instructed them to, and my fussy ways did not phase them at all. All done with a smile too, well done boys, would definitely recommend this company.

Great company very genuine hard working and personally would never use anybody else.

Amazing company. Very good value for money and i would highly recommend them. Andy and the guys went beyond the call of duty and I'm so grateful for their efforts. 10 out of 10. Thanks so much.

nice business to deal with

Always get a really good service and good quality food. Deliveries can take a while due to popular demand .

been going here for over 20 years best chinese by far, never had a bad meal

Brillant chinese well worth a visit

Yum yum yum and they even put the Chinese language next to what uve orderd on the receipt nice touch!!

Placed an order and food not to our tastes...Had a lingering odd aftertaste

Have eaten a variety of Chinese dishes from Dragon King and have not yet been disappointed. Good food and plenty of it...

Great service, friendly guys and honest prices. I would very much recommend.

Excellent speedy service, friendly and professional, I highly recommend this firm.

Stephanie and the Team have been extremely helpful, both with conveyancing and Legal advise. They are a great firm to work with and are always reasonably priced. When I was moving house , the transaction went smoothly and Lin was always on hand to keep me updated. Steph’s knowledge in her field has been invaluable.

Great conveyancing here. Highly recommended.

I used Kitsons for my house purchase. As a first time buyer, I was completely unaware of the process, but the team made the transaction move very smoothly and thanks to them, we're now very happy in our first home!

We used Dan Woolnough for our Sale and Purchase for our recent house move, Dan was great, his communication with us was first class, we would have fouond it very much more difficult had it not been for Dan. Thanks Dan Woolnough from Kitsons LLP

Gave me some very useful advice regarding a motoring offence. Would recommend their services to anyone looking for a decent solicitor.

Amazing company...always very helpful

Excellent reliable service at all times with extremely friendly and highly professional call handlers and drivers, and with clean and comfortable cars. They send a text to confirm a booking and another to confirm the driver is on their way, and the driver knows the name of the person they are picking up, which is very reassuring for lone female passengers like myself. Would use again and again and have recommended without hesitation. Absolutely brilliant outstanding first class service. Thank you.

Very reasonable, always on time and always polite. Wouldn't use any other company!

Always on time, always pleasant drivers. Very pleased with the services.

Great service friendly driver cheap fare a big thank you

Excellent friendly courteous service clean well presented cars with immediate response never kept waiting more than 5 minutes

Very reliable. Not let me down yet.

Very helpful and reasonable price.

I have booked a few holidays with Hayes now and they are consistently fabulous!

Different Corners is the place to go to book a holiday, it is owned by David & he is amazing at finding you the perfect holiday, very friendly relaxed atmosphere

Great place and service to get the holiday of your dreams.

Excellent and Honest TV repair man. TV not working - Others want £95 to £60 up front. Harleys charge £15 and fixed mine within a day. Enough said. Thank you Harleys already recommended you to other people.

Fantastic service from start to finish, highly recommended, my tv looks great on the wall, which they came and delivered and installed.

Fab guys 😎 Thanks for all your help 😻

Alan came to fit our new 65" TV to a stud wall, along with a sound bar. He is a very competent, professional and polite man. Alan arrived on time, fully discussed our requirements, made informed suggestions and got on with the job. He tidied up afterwards and we are absolutely delighted with his work. We would thoroughly recommend him.

Couldn't recommend Torbay Digital enough. Nothing is too much trouble for Alan and his workmanship is brilliant. Friendly, reliable and reasonably priced will definitely use Torbay Digital again.

First class service from start to finish.Derek the Harris hawks small operation & aftercare service was second to none & Richard & his team were fantastic.Thoroughly recommend Silvertown Vetinary practice to any falconers or birds of prey centres in and around Devon.

On moving to Torbay in 1988 one of my priorities was to find a good local vet. The Silverton practice was recommended to me and I have been taking my much loved pets to them ever since. Firstly to their Paignton branch then Torquay where you can always be sure of a welcoming smile and some good advice. Firstly from Sue who has the most amazing memory for us all and our pets. She is both very approachable and knowledgeable but more importantly incredibly kind and understanding as are the vets who I have had the good fortune to have take care of my animals over the years. Cath and Richard are both excellent veterinarians and have a way of putting both patients and owners at ease, whatever the situation. I have changed Doctors several times through the years but never vets. I would highly recommend the Silverton Practice to anyone and everyone who wants the very best for their loyal companions.

I had to change my veterinary surgeon due to them not doing local Dentistry. I decided to use Green Bay. Top class service and my dog is so much happier now she's had her bad teeth removed! She had her check and her up both in the same day. Would use them again and would definitely recommend.

We have had a level of care and service you don't find very often and will be forever thankful for the help that everyone at the Torquay branch has given us. Our Cat TJ turned diabetic and after 6 months we now find out his condition is cause by a brain tumour (operable thankfully). If not for the help, support, and the vets being thorough we would never have got to where we are now. We cannot thank them or recommend them enough.

Whether it's been with cats, guinea pigs or gerbils they've always been so loving and caring towards my pets. Absolutely recommend and will continue to use for my new two kittens!!!

Happy with my cats operation, but wasn't happy they put my cat into a dirty cat box when I took him it was clean, an they put my cat into it after an operation, an the box was full of wee an poo, an that can cause an infection, so they need to go alil but more careful to be honest.

Just wanted to let you guys reading this know that DeeShine Window Cleaning are top notch. We have a difficult to access property(very tall), arrived on time, nothing was a problem, very polite and professional and most importantly did a great job too! When my wife asked me to sort out a window cleaner I wasn't looking forward to it as previously every one I'd contacted either didn't return my messages, let us down or quoted silly money. My initial email was answered quickly and further messages were replied to promptly giving me the detail I needed and I'm very pleased to have chosen this young man - highly reccomended.

The best window cleaner in the UK. :)

Wholeheartedly recommend!

Very professional, fantastic service, carpets have never looked so clean. Highly recommended!!!! Well priced too.

Fantastic, reliable service. Got my carpets looking as good as new!
