Award-winning Victorian guest house with a 30-foot heated pool and free parking in Torquay
Amenities & Grounds
The Cimon has a 30-foot heated outdoor swimming pool open from May to September, surrounded by a large patio garden with tropical plants and sun loungers. Complimentary onsite parking is provided, a rare find in Torquay, along with fast fiber optic Wi-Fi throughout the property. The guest house also offers a licensed bar for residents, a shared lounge with board games, and an electric vehicle charging station.
Accommodations
Each of the 12 rooms has a private bathroom, flat-screen TV, and tea/coffee making facilities, with some rooms offering a small fridge and a DVD player. Superior rooms include a four-poster bed, while top-floor sea-view rooms provide panoramic views across Torbay. Rooms are cleaned daily and feature hypoallergenic bedding, with complimentary toiletries and welcome chocolates.
Location & Nearby Attractions
The guest house is less than half a mile from Torquay's sandy beaches and less than a mile from Torquay Rail Station. It is an 8-minute walk from the Agatha Christie Mile, a tour of her life and work, and close to Torre Abbey and Babbacombe Theatre. The hillside location gives many rooms views of the bay, and free parking allows easy access to nearby Cockington Village and the South West Coast Path.
Dining & Breakfast
Breakfast includes a continental buffet with fresh pastries, yoghurts, and juices, plus a cooked-to-order full English or omelette ordered the night before. The south-facing dining room overlooks the sun terrace and pool area, while the licensed bar serves local Devon spirits and a selection of wines and beers. Special diet menus, including vegan and vegetarian options, are available on request along with a kid-friendly buffet and kids' meals.
Family & Pet-Friendly Policies
Families receive swimming pool toys, board games, and a kid-friendly buffet at breakfast, with cots and high chairs available on request. The property allows pets with prior arrangement, and there is a designated smoking area outside. The heated pool and sun loungers create a space where children and adults can relax, and the bar stocks kids' meals and snacks.
