Real guests • Real stays • Real opinions
Excellent breakfast and very attentive, friendly owners operating under difficult Covid circumstances - faultless approach to social distancing, cleanliness etc. The hotel is a fine Victorian villa in a nice leafy 19th century suburb. Parking on site made things very easy. We would have loved to have sat out on the pleasant-looking front patio but the weather was awful so had to give it a miss. It is 15 minute walk to the beach and a 25 minute walk from the town centre, but is very close to the excellent Torre Abbey museum and neighboring gardens and well sited to go to neighbouring tourist sites e.g. Paignton, Brixham, Dartmouth and Exeter. Only a few hundred yards from Torquay railway station (you can't hear it) and so very handy if you want to use the train as we did. If or when we go to Torquay again, we would certainly book at the Kelvin.

Legal information
Private hosts
Hosts who have registered with Booking.com as a private host are parties that rent out their property or properties for purposes which are outside their trade, business, or profession. They are not officially traders (like a global hotel chain) and therefore may not fall under the same consumer protection rules under EU law, but don’t worry, Booking.com provides you with the same customer service as we do with any stay. This doesn’t mean that your stay or experience will be any different than booking with a professional host.
