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!

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 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.

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.

Came down as it was my husband's birthday. The property was managed exceptionally well by Kim and Trevor who were fantastic hosts from the time we arrived until we left. They were friendly, helpful and nothing was too much trouble. Scones with jam and cream on arrival, fresh milk etc., all little personal touches which meant a lot. Had a room with a bath which was a bonus 🤗 Shame we had to leave as it was so relaxing. Would recommend this wonderful hotel to everyone. 5*****

Nothing to complain about. Everything was perfect.

It started with a phone call from Trevor advising us that our room was ready and we could arrive anytime. When we did arrive he was so helpful with directions around the area and explaining facilities in the guest house. Kim had baked scones which were ready in the room with jam and cream! They were absolutely delicious. The bathroom was immaculate and all amenities were provided. The room was very big and comfortable. Beautifully decorated. Breakfast the next morning was fantastic. Would definitely stay here when we visit next time.

Kim & Trevor were welcoming and very trusting, it's a testament to their nature. The breakfast was filling with a good traditional selection. The room was exceptionally clean and in the Kings suite it had a mini living area with a cosy sofa and tv which we really liked. The location is a 5-7 minute walk from Torquay Station and about 15 mins from the town which saved us a lot on transport. The place as a whole just has that classic English standard about it. I would really recommend.
