An elegant Victorian villa set in its own grounds with delightful garden and ample parking. The Torcroft Boutique B&B offers free WiFi throughout. There is also a dining room and a bar in the lounge.

The Torcroft Boutique B&B is situated just off the main Torquay seafront. It is conveniently located for the seafront, town, the Princess Theatre and many other attractions.

The maximum rating is 10. I'd like to give this place 12. Such excellent little place, Service, cleanliness, breakfast. Phillip was the host. He was doing everything possible to make our stay an enjoyable one. We stayed at The Pullman London the night before The Torcroft, we couldn't tell the difference in the quality of the linen and towels between the former 5 star hotel and this B&B. Have a look at their website before booking, you'll see the high ratings the place received from reviews.

    I received an upgrade via Booking.com on my room, which was on the second floor with a balcony and stunning panoramic view of the sea. The room was very large and clean with comfy linen on the bed. High ceilings and period features took me back in time. The rest of the hotel was also beautiful inside and well maintained. Breakfast was a special treat and the buffet selection was wonderful. All the staff were great as well. I was there in low season - so it was lovely and quiet.

    The apartment was stunning, luxury and dog friendly! It’s also so roomy, even better in real life than the stunning pictures. Rach room is stylish and beautiful, beds/bedding lovely, so clean and comfy and two fantastic bathrooms! Torquay 20 mins stroll downhill. Wonderful!! Bonus also, for that quick early/last walk field just 2 mins over road with sea views.

    Gorgeous boutique hotel. We got a complementary room upgrade, which was fabulous. Our upgraded room had the most amazing en-suite bathroom. the hosts Karen and Ian were welcoming and friendly. As we stayed over the Easter weekend, we were left surprise Easter eggs on our pillows, which was a lovely, thoughtful touch. I would highly recommend a stay at The Westgate and will definitely be staying again whenever we re-visit Torquay.
