Ansteys LeaBarrington Road, Wellswood, TQ1 2QJ Torquay (Show map) Very good, Score from 25 reviews“We booked the last double room at the Ansteys Lea on the day and were given a better room than expected. Excellent value for money, I would recommend this hotel to anyone! ”

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 room we stayed in was better thsn I expected! We were travelling with a 14 month old, so the use of a kitchenette in the family room was brilliant.

My stay at Ansteys was my first stay at an hotel and I was a little apprehensive beforehand, but I needn't have worried. The room was ideal for my requirements, even having a little fridge which was a pleasant surprise! There was also a plentiful supply of tea,coffee etc. The hotel is family run ,and they were all very friendly and most helpful. I would definately recommend the hotel, and it also offers excellent value for money which is important in todays financial climate.

Nice pleasant stay. Travelled with my husband and 2 young children. Had family room so had 2 interconnecting rooms which was great. Breakfast was pleasant. Only thing I could fault was breakfast wasn't included in the room price. £5 per person per day. But breakfast was good and fresh! No charge for the kids But I would stay there again. I would say Its a 20 min walk into town too not 10 but its quite a nice walk.

Breakfast good value at £5 per person per night. Hotel was not as described on their web site. There is no pool, no evening meals and no bar. It is purely a bed and breakfast. Their website has not been updated for 6 years. It was not what we envisaged.

Very friendly staff, nice relaxed atmosphere and Room no 1 is a very large familly room with 2 bathrooms and a sitting room where you could happily sit and have glass of wine while your preparing to go out for the evening. There is a quaint little village with a nice friendly local pub down the road if you wanted to leave the car behind, or you are only 5 minutes from Torquay or Babbacombe by car or bus. good central point for investigating the south west coast. would def stay here again. 9/10

Room recently refurbished, new curtains, bedspread and clean bedding, great powerful walk-in shower and new tv. Friendly manager. Location just outside Torquay so quiet, own parking and close to cliff-top walk with beautiful views. Price reduced so excellent value for money as we were out all day and just needed a comfy bed to sleep in - bed was very comfy! The hotel is basic and undergoing refurbishment, so corridors and communal areas not appealing. Not all furniture or tiling in our room looked like it had been replaced in the refurbishment. A few things amiss on arrival like tv remote and bathroom light very dim, but these were replaced the following morning without us even asking. Overall good value for money, as price of room outweighed all of the above.

The owner was very friendly and helpful. We were a group of hens and he was very understanding. Would definately stay here again if i was to revisit Torquay. Approx 10-15min walk to the harbour which is downhill so not so bad. Coming back is best to get a taxi!! There was nothing I did not like about this hotel. Only point i would raise is that the swimming pool is no longer there this isnt stated on the booking.com website.
