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.

The hotel was so clean and the staff were very accommodating. Lisa the host was a lovely lady and worked hard every day to make sure everyone was happy. A lovely week at a lovely hotel.

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.

Gorgeous building just 5 minutes walk from the sea front. Lisa the owner was always around to help with anything. I would return again without hesitation.

We booked 2 rooms, 2 adukts ad 18 another for 18 and 21 year old daughters. The owner, who is on site 24/7 could nothave done more to make our stay any better. She is a gr

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.

Fantastic Stay Lisa is a wonderful Host Beautiful gardens lovely pool which was great to have a swim ! Excellent breakfast lots of choice Great Breakfast staff would love to return and would defiantly recommend to friends

Great hotel with easy access to torquay seafront and a short walk from town. Hotel was clean, well looked after and we will be back!

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.

This hotel was a 2 minute walk from the train station, its very nice well kept and very clean. The food was excellent and hot! Rooms had on suite and were all newly done beds were comfortable and clean. The host was very welcoming, overall we were very pleased.

Lovely host, lovrly

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 stay at hotel. Beautifully decorated and friendly staff.

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.

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
