7.6

This hotel of great warmth and character is situated between Torquay's town centre and marina on one side, and Babbacombe Downs with their magnificent sea views on the other.

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 Torquay city centre, which takes a matter of minutes. Within 10 minutes’ stroll you can be in Torquay's centre enjoying the Edwardian Pavilion, the lights and the harbour.

Hotel Rooms: 24.

Hotel information

The hotel’s main lawn sees the sun for the best part of the day, and is so sheltered that almost anything grows. A well laid out rockery meanders round the lawns. A small summerhouse close to the hotel is a peaceful spot where you can watch the world go by. The heated swimming pool is surrounded by a large patio area.

There is even an original brass 'butler's bell' should you need attention.

Food & beverage

The Wedgwood Blue Dining Room's main feature is a superb bay window which overlooks the landscaped garden with its famous Torbay Palms. The atmosphere in the dining room is enhanced by several original signed pictures, and lighting designed to create a comfortable setting.

Area information

The nearby village of Wellswood in Torquay has a selection of all kinds of shops, including a supermarket, a cash point, shops, a florist and a pub.

Chris Solo traveller Swindon, United Kingdom June 28, 2009	Comfortable well priced accommodation in easy reach of the Torquay seafront & other delights of Devon	10
Anonymous Solo traveller United Kingdom June 21, 2009	Hotel owners were very attentive and keen to help in any way. It is certainly value for money. The water pressure in the shower is excellent. The entrance lobby is a bit shabby and cluttered which gives the wrong impression as everything else is fine.	8.5

Anonymous Mature couple United Kingdom August 10, 2008	No pressures from the hotel staff When we arrived the bathroom carpet was very wet, it took 3 days to dry out and smelt somewhat.	4.5
Martin Solo traveller Bristol, United Kingdom July 13, 2008	Flexible understanding staff. Ease of parking. On the bus route. Nearby shops and excellent pub	8
Anonymous With friends United Kingdom June 30, 2008	Comfortable bedroom Small Flat screen TV in bedroom, Relatively cheap bar prices by hotel standards. Good choice of drinks in bar. Friendly staff. Well maintained grounds and interior. Quality of breakfast was a little disappointing, quite a long walk into town, especially coming back which is mostly uphill. Seems to cater for large groups of people such as sports clubs, hen parties etc	6.5
