I was at The Cimon for a brief stay but would highly recommend it. The owners go out of their way to make you comfortable. The room was spotless clean and well equipped with a very comfort bed and nice linens. The breakfast the following morning was first class!

A cracker of a hotel

A really cracking hotel, nothing too much trouble for the owners who had thought of minor details to ensure a good experience. Would definitely stay here again, location good, plenty of parking and a good breakfast.

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!

Long weekend in June

Lovely welcome from Jamie, met Julia later who was also very friendly and welcoming. We were in room 11. Very clean, spacious and comfortable. Quite a steep hill to walk back from beach, if you have mobility problems you’d be in trouble. But this did mean we had a great view of the surrounding towns and the sea. Bed was huge and really comfortable so if it hadn’t been for the really raucous seagulls the quality of sleep would have been great. Swimming pool was nice and warm and open till around 8. I assumed it was B&B only, but have since seen on the website you can have evening meal in the restaurant, I didn’t see any indication of this. Although we hadn’t planned to eat in as the selection of local eateries is vast. Web site photos as with every other hotel perhaps make it look a little more spacious and modern than it actually is, but all in all a lovely place to stay.
