Central heating switched off - in its place a noisy and inadequate convector/fan heater. The room was basic and very cold - no heating in the bathroom. Reasonable breakfast. Had booked for 2 nights but couldn't bear another one so checked out and went to the Travelodge.

Having arrived in Torquay with no accommodation booked prior to travelling, I was so pleased that I first chose to stay at The Elmington Hotel. I found the hotel to be in a good location for both bus and train travel and close for walks, coastal or countryside. The Owner and Staff offered a genuine welcome on arrival and were... More

A very warm welcome to greet you by Alistair and Liza, followed by fresh, excellent food, both breakfast and evening meal which you cannot fault. Our stay was very relaxing helped by the environment being very clean, spacious and comfortable. Good location, with the station nearby. We would strongly recommend this hotel and are looking to return soon.

Just back from a long weekend in Torquay having spent four nights at the Elmington. We had a great time and the hotel was well worth the money. Buffet breakfast with endless tea/coffee and toast being offered. A lovely 20 minute stroll along the sea front to Torquay Harbour. Plenty of parking and only a 2 minute walk from the... More

Good location if you dont like the hussle and bustle of town centre. Nice welcoming hotel, friendly family, and helpful.Our room was very large and had a "see" view. Also beautiful view of the well kept garden. Overall I would reccomend. two things - the outdoor pool was closed(: and the pillows are very uncomfortable,

We stayed here in August. The hotel was comfortable and good value. We had a wonderful four poster bed room which was nicely decorated and had a view of sea. The breakfast was a buffet of English breakfast and cereal. This is a family-run hotel and very friendly. The walk to Torquay centre is approximately 20 minutes along the sea... More
