Featuring 3-star accommodation, Chelston Dene Holiday Apartments is situated in Torquay, 500 metres from Livermead Beach and 600 metres from Torre Abbey Sands Beach. Both free WiFi and parking on-site are accessible at the apartment free of charge. The property is less than 1 km from the city centre and a 5-minute walk from Corbyn Beach.

The apartment was small but very comfortable. We particularly liked the fact that it had a full (if compact) kitchen. The garden was lovely, and it was really close to a small cove that was less full of people than the main beach. Perfect for swimming late in the evening. Steve and Anne were great hosts. We really enjoyed our stay.

    I stayed at the Maycliffe Hotel for 2 weeks, whilst having my bathroom's replaced. I booked it mainly due to price, and for a budget hotel, my stay was good. The location is perfect, and there is plenty of parking on site and near by. The room was basic, but very clean, the bedding and towels excellent, there was even tea & coffee. The staff were friendly, and couldn't have been more helpful.

The location of the hotel was also perfect with access to local travel amenities which meant you can park the car and leave it for the duration of the stay. Indoor and outdoor pools were superb and warm. This hotel in my opinion is worth more than 3 stars. Keep up the good work everyone and thank you for making our holiday great.

    location for sure. it was a very small budget hotel and rarely book this type of hotel but having stayed in many Torquay hotels this was a great experience for the money. Staff were very nice, check in at 10.45pm with a comical night porter I assumed was a lot of fun, top marks to all staff. The breakfast was equally excellent, a great standard.
