We had the pleasure of staying at the Somerville in January 2012 - and what an absolute find it is. We were in a suite, so we had our own large bedroom, en-suite and our own lounge/reception room which was both comfortable, spotlessly clean and beautifully decorated. It;s always the little touches that make a difference, a small bowl of... More

You will not be disappointed with this wonderfully run hotel. The hotel is situated in walking distant of Torquay town centre. The owners are warm and friendly. The room we had was faultless. The beautiful decor could match any top 5 star hotels in major cities. The breakfast was cooked to perfection and the choice was endless. I loved the... More

The standard, quality and attention to detail have prompted me to leave a review on trip advisor for the first time. I have stayed in lots hotels and B&B over the years and never felt inspired to write a review. The Somerville however was outstanding in everyway. Great to meet the owners whose thought, effort and taste was evident in... More

I stayed at the Somerville with my wife in January for a family party and I was a bit dubious as to whether the Somerville was as good as the reviews make it out to be. However I have to say how accurate all the reviews are and this has to be the best Bed and breakfast I have ever... More

Although we only stayed one night in the Garden Suite, we were very impressed by the friendly welcome and the wonderful attention to detail. The most comfortable bed, wonderfully clean, beautiful bathroom with fabulous cosmetics. What more can I say? Highly highly recommended. More

This was our second stay at the Somerville and I pleased to say nothing has changed! These days most things you buy are the same price , but smaller or they have taken away something you used to get. Not at the Somerville. From the warm welcome to the well appointed rooms, with proper coffee, little bowls of sweets, bottles... More

Wonderful stay with the nicest of people. The Somerville is the best boutique hotel I have ever stayed in. Every detail is taken care of by Adam and Grant. If you are happy staying at the Dorchester you will be very happy staying here. The Somerville is definitely a 5 star hotel. More

The rooms are amazing, beautifully decorated, spotlessly clean, the beds are so comfortable and the attention to detail is second to none. Adam and Grant work very hard to make their guests feel so special, nothing is too much trouble. The breakfast is to die for, everything is cooked fresh and to order and I have never tasted scrambled eggs... More
