We have just returned from a 4 day break at the Southbourne Villa. There is not much I can add to the positive comments already made - except to agree. Gary and Rob did everything possible to make our stay enjoyable and relaxing. The food was excellent - both breakfasts and evening meals. The hot tub was very welcome after... more

Stayed 25th May 2006 - 3 nights, my wife and I - age group 50 -55: Its all been said. Its the most comfortable, hospitable, value for money hotel that I ever stayed at.

Had read the reviews and while I always found reviews on tripadvisor slightly pessimistic, this could not be said of reviews on this hotel, so was wary, and wondered if it could be as good as the reviews said? It was and then some! Stayed with my wife and extended the stay an extra night, friendly, and helpful, hosts, but... more

We have just returned from a week's fantastic stay at the Southbourne Hotel in Torquay, which is situated in the idyllic "English Riviera" of Devon, England.

From the moment we arrived, we had such a wonderful time here. We were made fresh tea and decaffeinated coffee with wonderful chocolate cookies after a long flight from the USA and Madrid and then drive from London before returning to our new home in Manchester. Our room was large, bright and immaculatley presented, but it was all the finishing... more
