Superb hosts and lovely property located ten minutes' walk up a hill from the main beach in Torquay. Two upstairs rear bedrooms have a sea view, and the interior is wonderfully in keeping with the Victorian building. Double-glazed windows and own pool a bonus. Made to feel extremely welcome and would have no hesitation in returning.

Loved our 2 night stay at Cimon. Fantastic owners Julia and Jamie. So friendly and accommodating.Room was lovely, comfortable bed and very clean. We had a sea view which was lovely. Breakfast was delicious, plenty to choose from. Plenty of parking on site. The pool was an extra touch as it was so hot when we went. 5 minutes walk to the seafront and shops so perfect location. Would definitely recommend it to anyone. We would with no doubt use The Cimon again.

My little boy (7) and I have just come back from a wonderful half term week at The Cimon & I could not recommend it enough. A quick stroll to the beach, offering plenty of eateries, with options for all. The pool was an absolute god send as the weather was just perfect. Julia & Jamie were so lovely & helpful offering lots of ideas in and around Torquay. We will definitely return.

Nice clean swimming pool 1.4m deep, heated to 28/29°C. Nicely cooked breakfast with a selection of cereals, fruit and croissants. The hotel is at the top of a hill which is a bit of a pain if on foot with mobility issues but fortunately the number 12 bus stops not too far away at the Central Church allowing a short walk back on more level ground. The compact room is big enough for 2 with everything that you need for a comfortable stay. The seagul dawn chorus reminds you that you are at the seaside but that is the same wherever you are in Torquay. There is plenty of choice nearby for places to eat and drink from fish and chips through Italian and tapas. Overall a pleasurable stay.
