Recently refurbished, this hotel of great warmth and character is situated between the center of Torquay and marina, and Babbacombe Downs with their magnificent sea views. The hotel derives its name from the enchanting Ansteys Cove, Torquay, once a smuggler's haven. Ansteys Lea was originally a Victorian gentleman's residence and became a small hotel in 1946. The building’s traditional Victorian ceiling with cornices and roses are a wonderful architectural feature. The hotel is on the main bus route into central Torquay, which takes a matter of minutes. Within a 10-minute walk you can be in central Torquay enjoying the Edwardian Pavilion, the lights and the harbor. Hotel Rooms: 13 The most recent booking for this hotel was made on Jun 19 at 18:14 from United Kingdom.

The location was perfect for the business I was attending. The staff was very accommodating as I had to change my reservation and they allowed without hesitation. Well appreciated. The place appeared a little run down. Clearly they are working on it the facilities so perhaps this aspect will come around next tine I visit.

It was really good value for money. Clean and comfortable and nicely decorated. The appartments were exceptionally good, I thought. I went to Torquay with my partner´s son and we had two single rooms and ordered 3 breakfasts (and they were very good too).

Die selbstgebaute Badewanne. Schnelle internetverbindung, in gb nicht unbedingt selbstverständlich Hat wohl die besten Tage schon hinter sich, V.A. die Betten und Fenster (schwer zu öffnen und schließen), steht aber anscheinend zum Verkauf.

Edina dobra lastnost hotela je cena. Čistoča in ustrežjivost osebja pa je bila pod nivojem. Hotel že rahlo razpada. Čistoča in ustrežjivost osebja je bila pod nivojem. Hotel že rahlo razpada.

Ikke rigtigt noget. Størrelsen på hotellejligheden. Værelse med bad og seng til både voksne og børn. Tykke beskidte gulvtæpper. Ikke rengjort ved ankomst. Dårlig lugt. Duft- spruttere på hvert værelse for at "snuppe" den dårlige lugt.

The hotel staff were extremely helpful and friendly. The couple who previously owned the property were standing in at the time, and they couldn't have made us all feel more welcoming- proper home from home experience. We had a great family room with two ensuite bedrooms, open plan lounge and kitchenette absolutely ideal for us. We didn't use the breakfast facilities however on one particular morning we had a knock at the door with left over bacon, sausage and hash browns, in which was very welcoming and thoughtful. . We also had help on visiting places and the best suited beaches for our family. Thank you so much for making our family break complete.
