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.

We would strongly recommend this hotel and are looking to return soon.
