Southbank Townhouse offers 12 guest rooms, each individually styled with distinct decor reflecting the building's history. Some family rooms consist of spacious adjoining rooms, while the junior suite includes a separate living room and the superior king room provides a private sitting area. Ground-floor suites feature a separate bedroom, living room, and bathroom, all with flat-screen TVs and tea/coffee making facilities.
Dining
Breakfast is made with locally sourced ingredients and includes a full English option, continental choices, fresh fruit, and yoghurt. Dietary requirements are catered for upon request, and the menu changes daily. The property also offers a bar serving alcoholic beverages, and can host group dinners upon arrangement, such as a pork loin roast with cauliflower cheese.
Amenities & Services
Private parking is available on-site for guests, a rare bonus in central Torquay where public parking is expensive.

Additional services include private check-in/out, key access, and a water dispenser in the hallway for guests to refill bottles.
Location & Nearby Attractions
The guesthouse is a 5-minute walk from Torbay beach and a 15-minute walk from Princess Theatre. Torre Abbey, a historic building and art gallery, lies less than half a mile away. Babbacombe Model Village and Gardens is a short drive, and the harbour area with restaurants is reachable within 10 minutes on foot.
Host & Guest Experience
Hosts Danny and Dolores (and later Graham and Leon) provide personalized service with local restaurant recommendations and early check-in when requested. The property hosts themed nights and engages events for guests, such as Valentine's weekend with Prosecco and fresh strawberries. Guest reviews highlight the welcome, the quality of breakfast, and the helpfulness of the staff.

“The property truly impressed with its spotlessly clean rooms and common areas, complemented by thoughtful touches like a coffee machine and quality toiletries. Breakfast stood out, a delicious spread of freshly cooked, local produce that felt both generous and expertly prepared. It's clear the new ownership is maintaining a high standard, and the welcoming atmosphere made it a place I'd gladly return to.”
