Absolutely wonderful place

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.

Perfect for that little 'get-away' stay.

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.

Excellent 5 star's

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 😊!

A happy accident

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.

Outstanding comfortable & excellent location hotel

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.

Lovely hotel with pool, but insufficient loungers

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.

Lovely outdoor pool

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.
