The Somerville is located in the centre of Torquay and is only a few minutes walk to the harbour, the town centre and to a a number of beautiful beaches. It has its own car park which means that guests can leave the car behind and enjoy the English Riviera on foot or else use the Somerville as a base from which to explore other parts of Devon such as Dartmoor, Totnes or Dartmouth.

The Somerville's central Torquay location also makes it an ideal base for guests wanting to explore Agatha Christie's home town. Torquay museum (where there is a permanent Agatha Chrsitie exhibition) is only a three minute walk away and Kent's Cavern and other sites that inspired her stories are also only a few minutes away. The Somerville also has its own Agatha Chrsitie library so guests can enjoy some of her novels during their stay.

The Somerville has a guest lounge and bar which is open for early evening drinks and a beautiful dining room which overlooks the front of the property giving guests wonderful views of the Torwood area of Torquay. Breakfasts are a full hour during the week and these breakfast times are extended at weekends to give an even more relaxed start to the day. The Somerville has been awarded the Visit Britain Breakfast Award.

For guests on business we are able to offer early breakfasts (by prior arrangement) as well as late check ins and early check outs. Free wifi is available to guests.

We stayed at The Somerville Hotel for three nights 24/1/11 to 16/1/11. We had an excellent stay. Attention to detail was first class and we will certainly be staying again.

Stayed here for a weekend relaxing break. Very friendly hosts and upon arrival gave us a map of Torquay and recommended places to eat. Good quality furniture throughout and huge comfy bed. Fresh milk for tea/coffee in the fridge to help yourself to. You could also help yourself to fresh cookies and fruit. Breakfast was great with plenty of choice and you could basically have any combination you asked for.
