About the Hotel

The Westgate offers classic double rooms, superior king/twin rooms, family rooms, and a four-poster room. All rooms include en-suite bathrooms with showers (one has shower over bath), free Wi-Fi, flat-screen TVs, USB charging points, tea/coffee facilities, and hairdryers. Some rooms feature bay windows with views across Torquay or garden views. The four-poster room has a king-size four-poster bed and antique furniture. Family rooms accommodate up to three guests with super king and single bed configurations.
Dining & Breakfast
Breakfast is served 8:15-9:15 AM in the ground-floor dining room. The buffet includes cereals, muesli, yogurt, toast, fresh fruit, juices, and Tip Tree jams. Cooked options feature hand-made Torquay sausages, back bacon from the local butcher, mushrooms, tomatoes, baked beans, hash browns, and free-range eggs. Specials include smoked salmon with scrambled eggs on bagel or continental platters. The Hollywood-themed bar serves Devon ales, ciders, and light bites. Dietary requirements can be accommodated with advance notice.
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 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.
