    What a rare gem! This guesthouse is easy to find and well located for the centre of town. Russell and Caroline couldn’t have done anything to make our stay more comfortable. The room is well equipped and there was even a Bluetooth speaker...

    Perfect location only 5 minutes walk to the harbour. Our room was outstanding with a very comfy bed and we loved the free drinks and snacks. Breakfast was the best we've had on our travels and to round a great stay off the owners were brilliant.

This is an elegant, large victorian property with an interior that has art deco flavours, high ceilings and large rooms. We have a fantastic bar and separate guest lounge and offer wines, beers, spirits and cocktails - with the occasional live entertainment. Sit and relax with a drink before heading out to all the best restaurants and entertainment spots Torquay has to offer - all within 2 - 10 minutes walk. The fabulous Torquay Marina with all its bars and cafes is only 5 minutes away! During your stay with us you will receive the best service and facilities we can possibly offer. We even provide complimentary wine in your mini-fridge (all rooms!), bathrobes and slippers and room service (subject to availability and service charge). Out side we have a small but perfectly formed and beautiful garden terrace where you sit and watch the world go by!
We are a family-run guesthouse and have a passion for creating a quality experience for our guests. Over the last 12 months we have been restoring rooms and brought Art Deco influences to our extensive Bar and Guest Lounge. This is a peaceful, welcoming property and the perfect base for exploring all of Torbay and South Devon - or for just taking it easy!
Gresham Court has one of the best locations in Torquay - away from the bustle of the entertainment spots and eateries but still only a few minutes walk away. The surrounding neighbourhood is leafy and pleasant over which our rooms provide pleasing town views. We are just 5 minutes walk from the marina and most of the restaurants and entertainment spots that Torbay has to offer. In the other direction with a longer walk or short drive, lay the fabulous Wellswood, Meadfoot, Babbacombe and St Marychurch areas with their stunning views and classy shops and eateries.
