The Westgate - A 4-star Victorian villa with locally sourced breakfasts, free superfast Wi-Fi, and proximity to Torquay's attractions

The Westgate, a 4-star Silver award-winning Victorian villa, retains many period features and offers elegantly furnished rooms with en-suite shower rooms, free superfast Wi-Fi, and USB charging points. Room options include classic doubles, superior king/twin rooms, and a family room with a super king bed and single bed, some featuring garden views or bay windows. Breakfast at The Westgate includes a buffet with cereals, fruit, and locally sourced ingredients like hand-made Torquay sausages, followed by a cooked English breakfast served in a sunlit dining room. The property also provides a Hollywood-themed bar with Devon ales and ciders, as well as a 1, 2, or 3-course meal option in the refurbished dining room. Located a 10-minute walk from the beach and Torquay Train Station, the hotel is also within 20 minutes of the picturesque harbor and landmarks like Cockington Country Park. The Westgate has a car park, outside seating, and is smoke-free indoors. Group bookings are accommodated, but stag and hen parties are not permitted.

Pros

The Westgate serves a locally sourced breakfast with hand-made sausages and thick-cut bacon from a nearby butcher.

Free superfast Wi-Fi is available throughout the property, including in all bedrooms.

The hotel is a 10-minute walk from Torquay Train Station and the beach, with easy access to the harbor and local attractions.

Rooms feature USB charging points, flat-screen TVs, and hospitality trays with tea and coffee.

Cons

Some rooms require climbing stairs, with the second floor accessible via 17 steps.

Walking back from the beach or harbor involves an uphill route, common in Torquay's hilly terrain.
