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.

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.

Property owner Julia was excellent, very welcoming, friendly and helpful. We had a balcony room which gave us extra space during our stay. Balcony is small but adequate for 2 people to sit out and enjoy the sea view and fresh air. Bed was comfortable. Property is very clean and well presented. Lovely outdoor pool and garden area.

Wonderful Home to Explore Torquay!

The Cimon is run by Julia and Jamie and is a 12-room B&B that is comfy, cozy and feels like you are staying at their home (you are!). My friend Kim and I stayed two nights so we could explore all things Agatha Christie, and Julia recommended a stellar tour guide Graham who really made our trip, and Jamie recommended an excellent seafood spot (No. 7 Fish Bistro/Wine Bar). The common areas include a swimming pool and patio for the summer months and a conservatory for breakfast and happy hour cocktails made with local spirits. The rooms and lounges are comfy and have everything you need. The Cimon is within walking distance or a short cab ride to everything you want to see and do in Torquay. Highly recommend and thank you Julia and Jamie for such a welcoming stay!
