Location & Transportation

The Westgate is a 10-minute walk to Torquay Beach and Torquay Train Station, and 20 minutes to the harbor. Exeter International Airport is 45 km away. Nearby landmarks include Artizan Gallery (300 meters), Royal Terrace Gardens (500 meters), Cockington Court (2 km), and the South West Coast Path Walk (500 meters). The property has on-site parking. Torquay is built on hills, so walks to the beach or station involve uphill returns.

Facilities & Services

The Victorian villa retains period features including original cornices and ceilings. Facilities include a car park with marked bays, free superfast Wi-Fi, an outside seating area, and a guest lounge. Check-in is from 3-9 PM; check-out is 8-10 AM. Special occasion arrangements can be made for flowers, chocolates, or wine in rooms. The property does not accept pets (except service animals) or stag/hen parties. Children over 12 are welcome.

Local Area Highlights

Torquay is Trip Advisor's top seaside destination in England for two years running. The English Riviera is a UNESCO Global Geopark with the South West Coast Path. Local events include the Torbay Air Show and Brixham Pirate Festival. Activities include boat trips, visiting Kents Cavern prehistoric caves, Paignton Zoo, Model Village, and the Paignton & Dartmouth Steam Railway. Brixham harbor lands fresh fish daily for local restaurants.

“The Westgate distinguishes itself as a family-run Victorian villa, set near Torquay's attractions, that focuses on personalized guest experiences. Its locally sourced breakfasts served in a sunlit dining room highlight a commitment to quality, while the accessible bar enhances the convivial atmosphere. In my opinion, this hotel balances historical charm with genuine hospitality.”
