Return each year love this place and the owner.

We visit every year if not twice. Lisa who owns it is the most friendliest person cannot do enough to help and is always so welcoming.
Had a bottle of wine and glasses put in our room as it was my husband’s birthday so kind of her.
We always stay in the front rooms 4 poster bed and big bay windows.
Breakfast so lovely and lovely room with the sun shining through over looking the beautiful gardens.

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

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.

Super location, very good hotel.

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 hotel, in a good location near Railway, also close to the beach. The breakfast area was clean and tidy, service was great. Wonderful staff and host. Bedroom was spacious with twin bed, the shower was OK but knob for temperature kept falling off, didn't bother me. It was relaxing stay. I would recommend this hotel.

Nothing fancy but just relaxing.

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.

Good Bed and Breakfast

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

Small friendly hotel, excellent location.

Slightly quirky hotel, which like several Torbay hotels could benefit from some updating and investment.
I had super friendly welcome, though not that informative! My room was clean, comfortable and quiet. Needed a towel rail in bathroom, plus new bath towels, which were very worn. Toilet had a tendency to produce drain smells when flushed.
Lovely relaxed breakfast with good buffet. Hotel site on steep hill so parking a little awkward which could create accessibility issues.
Nice garden and pool.

Elmington Hotel

The Elmington Hotel is a gem. Location is great, right next to Torquay train station and only a short walk to bars and restaurants. The hotel is beautiful, very clean, very quiet and if you are lucky enough to get a room at the front the views are spectacular. The outdoor pool is a great added bonus. Breakfast was plentiful and tasty. I would definitely recommend this hotel.

The was closed to a train station.

The hotel was ok but we was put on the top floor so we had to clim 4 flights of stairs to get yo our room because there was no lift so it is not a good place to stay if you have got bad feet and legs and can not walk very well. There was a bar but no one around to severe you drinks and no evening meals which dose not mention when you book all so you have to pay for the room before you even step in it wich i did not liked,it makes you fill not trusted. All in all i will not be going back.😊

Great place to stay

Fabulous place.
Real quirky style and Spotlessly clean. Rooms are lovely - ours had very comfortable four poster and overlooked pool, gardens and sea. The bed linen is of good quality with a choice of pillows available.
There are great communal areas in which to relax, including a small bar, a terrace and an immaculate heated pool.
Buffet breakfast is ample - cooked food made in batches so nice and hot. Variety of cereal, yogurt and fresh fruit. As much toast and coffee/tea as required is brought to the table.
Liza and her staff are friendly and efficient. This is a gem of a find and we will definitely be back!
