Stayed here before and we love it.
We stay in the front bay window rooms, we go the weekend of my husbands birthday which we get to watch the air show too.
The stay is always great if we can get in as it’s a busy place.
Little walk to the beach and harbour but as long as your mobile it’s really nice.
Hostess is so lovely & friendly.
Breakfast is so lovely and fresh.
Would recommend this b&b over all.

The hotel is very well appointed. Very to close to the beach, buses and railway station. It is however located on a short, but steep hill, that we feel is not suited for those persons with mobility constraints, as there are no lifts. Whilst the owner and staff are very accommodating, apart from a very substantial breakfast, there were no other meals available - due to a shortage of staff. But that is everywhere now. Overall our experience is a very positive one. Well done to all. Thank you.

Absolutely fantastic hotel! Lisa the owner is a lovely lady and always laughing and friendly. The hotel is located behind the train station and a few minute's walk from the sea front. The hotel and gardens are beautiful and the lounge, restaurant and conservatory are lovely. The pool and sunloungers are excellent and the huge front garden is wonderful and a miniature nature reserve including woodpeckers etc! I highly recommend this establishment and we have been able to stay for a few more day's as we've enjoyed ourselves so much! We will be back!! Thank you very much 😊!

Nicely located close to the centre of Torquay, yet situated in a quiet area. We had a most relaxing three night stay here.

I booked two nights at short notice and was pleasantly surprised.
The Elmington is an old building a bit like Fawlty Towers but is tastefully and comfortably appointed.
Breakfast is part served and part self service and was very good.
Outside is a well maintained swimming pool and gardens, this is a hotel you could come to and not need to go outside.
There is a small car park at the front of the Hotel and a larger car park accessed via the gardens run by a third party but free to residents, from this car park the station is only a couple of hundred yards away.
Heading for Torquay? give the Elmington a try.

This is a very beautiful place to stay if you enjoy places such as museums and art galleries. It is not modern in its style, but is full of old furniture, paintings, ornaments, vases etc but is immaculately clean. The gardens are beautifully tended. It felt like staying in a stately home.

Absolutely outstanding hotel. Fantastic location close to the popular Corbyn's beach. Very clean rooms with comfortable bed and wonderful sea views from our spacious second floor room. Excellent shower and wash room. Fabulous English all you could eat buffet breakfast every morning. Hotel staff were always greeted us with a welcoming smile and friendly. Hotel outdoor swimming pool was a bonus which we used a few times during our 13 night stay. We will definitely return again.

This hotel had lovely decor and was really well located for the train station. Also, the swimming pool was great. The negatives are not enough loungers - only about 8. Limited bar selection of drinks & breakfast was only served 8.00 - 9.00.

The owner was friendly and helpful funny and defo go back.

Friendly host and room with a lovely view. Could have done with black out curtains as it was luckily very sunny. Breakfast was very limited e.g. no fruit or yoghurt. Location very convenient being just a few minutes walk from the station. So mixed feelings but trumped by the beautiful outdoor pool which is a decent size to get some laps in, slightly heated (to take edge off) and not busy. Provided the weather is great and the pool can be used, the Elmington is unbeatable for facilities and value.

Hotel was very clean and tidy staff were excellent but the beds want replaceing as for the shower you couldn’t swing a cat round pay good money like anyone else and they think you are not going to state your mine

Very clean. Good Breakfasts. Liza very friendly and welcoming. Been x 2 now.

A cozy and well-kept hotel, very nice and helpful staff. Very close to the train station and to many attractions and interesting places in the area and the beach. Minus are single beds in some rooms, which I and my wife with a 2-year internship were not satisfied with. In general, the hotel would count on a plus and recommend to friends.

Lovely setting, nice garden, nice reception area, and dining room

For my weekend break, the room was comfortable and the breakfasts were excellent. As I came by train, the fact that it was close to Torquay station was an important factor in my choice.

English Breakfast was good, but the room was small and smelled a little bit funky and the water didn't come out very well. Additionally, I could clearly hear the noise through the thin wall.

Great hotel Lisa the owner is great lovely buffet breakfast great position for train station Torquay and paignton very clean comfortable rooms be back soon

Ok this independent hotel is not going to be the place if you want a 'posh' weekend away. It is in fact competently standard. The rooms are clean, the staff friendly and the breakfast is traditional with nothing fancy added in.
I imagine a bit of sunshine would brighten up the place no end but we enjoyed our late September stay even though the weather was not the best.

Hotel very clean good breakfast comfrortable beds nice decor. On arrival we had a problem on access to the hotel the door was locked no one answered the door bell, fortunately two guests arrived and let us in which was lucky as it was raining. After a short time we found someone and was shown our room.

Lovely hotel run by a very nice lady who never stops to please her customers. Our room was pleasant,clean and had everything we needed. The hotel is located about 25 min walk from the harbour in quiet part of town. 2 min away from train station. It has got an outside pool. Shame we couldn’t use it because of the rainy weather

Good hotel in a quiet area of town. Lisa runs the hotel beautifully.
4.4
Good location
Not what I would class as a Hotel it was a Bed and breakfast establishment
Staffing was the owner and 2 staff doing breakfast and cleaning only
The potential to offer more to guests is there but unfortunately there was no service once breakfast had finished
Bedrooms very dated although clean
Overall experience was average although I admired Owner who was caring and worked very hard
