The location was quiet and the room was comfortable. The owners are very helpful and friendly and the breakfast was very nice. There was also plenty of parking. Everything in the hotel was immaculately kept and tidy, with everything in its place. The location is very convenient for the railway station.

There is not much to say as it is a lovely place to stay. The location is a bit out of the main town (which also has the advantage of being quiet) but it is only a 5 minute drive or a 20 minute walk along the sea front to get to the very centre where the harbour is.

What a Gem! Hosts met us on arrival, friendly and helpful. The room was immaculate. The bed was so comfy. Mini fridge with bottles of water & Kim's homemade scones, clotted cream & jam. Lots of beverage sachets & a box of chocolates. Breakfast gave you a variety of choices along with cereals, fruit, and yogurts. We had a bowl of fresh fruit to start, and my husband had the Full English, which he was extremely happy with,they even had black pudding. I had the cheese & mushroom. Omelette, the best I have ever had. Honestly, I can't fault Elmdene. I would go back to Torquay, but only if I could stay here.

Electric charge point would be good. I cannot think of anything I didn't like.

We stayed at Elmdene in August 2024 and were thoroughly impressed. The property was spotlessly clean, and hosts Trevor and Kim made us feel incredibly welcome from the moment we arrived. Our room was spacious and had everything we could possibly need, including a well-stocked tea and coffee station, chilled water, and snacks. The ensuite bathroom was immaculate, and the luxurious toiletries, high-end towels, and plush bathrobes were a lovely touch. The super comfy king-size bed ensured a great night's sleep, and after staying in several places on our two-week tour, Elmdene undoubtedly offered the best breakfast of the trip. Trevor and Kim's breakfast was exceptional, served with a pot of coffee that was actually hot — a small but very appreciated detail! The property also offers onsite parking, and it's within easy walking distance of the seafront and central Torquay, making it a perfect base for exploring the Torbay area. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend Elmdene!

nothing

Even before we arrived I knew this would be a lovely place, Trevor and Kim were very proactive, called me to confirm we were coming and said our room was ready at any time that day. Greeted at the door by name is a lovely touch, the room was spotlessly clean very spacious with a really comfortable bed drinks tray with chocolates as well, in room fridge for fresh milk supplied as well. Perfect location being just far enough away from the hussle and bussle but an easy short walk to the beach or town. The breakfast is indeed worth the awards they have been given, a wonderful range of options rarely seen in anything less than a 5 star hotel If we return to Torquay for another stay then Elmdene will be out first call

Having to go home!

We had a fantastic stay at The Elmdene in Torquay. Kim and Trevor welcomed us like family, and their genuine warmth and attention to detail made the experience special. The room was spotless, spacious. Breakfast was outstanding—fresh, delicious, and a perfect start to each day. The peaceful location is great for exploring Torquay while still offering a quiet retreat. Kim and Trevor go above and beyond—I can’t recommend The Elmdene enough!

We stayed on the 26/08 for four nights and could not fault anything about our stay. The room was superb and the bed very comfortable. Breakfast was excellent and plenty of it and lots of choice. Kim and Trevor are superb hosts and we will definitely be booking again. Only about a 10 minute walk to town and close to sea front and within walking distance to Cockington well worth a visit. Definitely deserves the 5 stars ⭐️ that they have.

N/A

A wonderful place to stay a short walk from the seafront and the train station. We were visiting for Electric Bay festival, and this was a perfect location. The room was spacious, clean, and had everything we needed. The breakfast was really delicious, and the owners were friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend staying here.

Nothing!

Everything....., you have absolutely everything you would need and even those things you didn't realise you may need. Fridge in the room, real fresh milk, real Devon homemade scones with jam and clotted cream. Fan for those of us of a certain age who appreciate it, sewing kit, wind up torch, slippers, dressing gown.... the list goes on. Great location easy flat lit walk to harbour and restaurants. Excellent breakfasts and wonderful attentive hosts. Trev and Kim, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay, thank you so much.

There is absolutely nothing negative to say.

What a fantastic place to stay, very modern facilities in a charming building. Bedroom (room 6) had a sofa, very comfortable bed & a nice bright bathroom with an excellent shower. Loads of wardrobe & cupboard space if you're staying for a few days, mini fridge & tea making facilities with fresh milk. Nice quiet area of Torquay & only a 15 min walk to the seafront. Breakfast was awesome, basically anything you would like, I had a full English with a slice of black pudding & my wife had scrambled eggs with smoked salmon!! Kim & Trev were great hosts, the lounge has an honesty bar with comfy sofas. If you're staying in Torquay stay at the Elmdene.
