The Somerville
515 Babbacombe Rd, Torquay, TQ1 1HJ, United Kingdom – Excellent location - show map
It was beautifully and stylishly decorated in an Art Deco style and felt very homely. The breakfast room was airy and light with a lovely view. We were given a friendly welcome and very helpful information on restaurants and places to visit. The breakfast choice was extensive, tasty and beautifully presented.
