About
Welcome to The Garway
Centrally located, The Garway is the perfect choice for quality bed and breakfast accommodation on the beautiful English Riviera. Close to public transport links, this award-winning guest house provides an ideal base for discovering the coast and countryside of South Devon.
Award-winning Bed and Breakfast
Book to experience guest house accommodation where we aim to go the 'extra mile' to make your stay as enjoyable as possible. Choose from single, double or king-size fully en-suite rooms, with all the 'extras' to make your stay more enjoyable. Taste quality breakfasts, home-made cakes in your rooms, a selection of drinks and snacks, and a well-stocked bar where you can relax in comfortable surroundings. All the rooms are equipped with smart TVs, fridges, refreshment trays and dressing gowns.
We have achieved a four-star gold rating from Visit England and the AA showing a commitment to focus on detail and guest centred service, and have gained further recognition for the quality of our breakfasts, our pet friendly provision, and the welcome given to walkers exploring the South West coast path.
We were awarded the ROSE award (Recognition of Service Excellence) from Visit England in 2024, the Trip Advisor Travellers' Choice award in 2025 (our superb reviews placed us in the top 10% worldwide), and we were named the Best Boutique Guest House of the year in South West England 2024/25 and 2025/26 by Prestige Awards.
