This is an elegant, large victorian property with an interior that has art deco flavours, high ceilings and large rooms. We have a fantastic bar and separate guest lounge and offer wines, beers, spirits and cocktails - with the occasional live entertainment. Sit and relax with a drink before heading out to all the best restaurants and entertainment spots Torquay has to offer - all within 2 - 10 minutes walk. The fabulous Torquay Marina with all its bars and cafes is only 5 minutes away! During your stay with us you will receive the best service and facilities we can possibly offer. We even provide complimentary wine in your mini-fridge (all rooms!), bathrobes and slippers and room service (subject to availability and service charge). Out side we have a small but perfectly formed and beautiful garden terrace where you sit and watch the world go by!
We are a family-run guesthouse and have a passion for creating a quality experience for our guests. Over the last 12 months we have been restoring rooms and brought Art Deco influences to our extensive Bar and Guest Lounge. This is a peaceful, welcoming property and the perfect base for exploring all of Torbay and South Devon - or for just taking it easy!
Gresham Court has one of the best locations in Torquay - away from the bustle of the entertainment spots and eateries but still only a few minutes walk away. The surrounding neighbourhood is leafy and pleasant over which our rooms provide pleasing town views. We are just 5 minutes walk from the marina and most of the restaurants and entertainment spots that Torbay has to offer. In the other direction with a longer walk or short drive, lay the fabulous Wellswood, Meadfoot, Babbacombe and St Marychurch areas with their stunning views and classy shops and eateries.
