Hotel information

Kingsholm is only 400 yards from the harbour, shops and restaurants, in a beautiful conservation area, overlooking the ornamental trees of Torwood Gardens.

Guests come back for the great location, plus the spacious and well decorated rooms, high standards of cleanliness, warm welcome and good service and home-cooked food. We do not have a lift; please see the notes on access below.

Alison and Debbie will welcome you to the Kingsholm, an Edwardian house which has been sympathetically adapted to provide 10 en suite rooms. The bedrooms have been individually decorated to provide the comfort and warmth you would expect of your hosts' home.

On the ground floor guests can enjoy the lounge, bar and dining room. The large lounge has an impressive bay window which makes the room light and airy, ideal for relaxing with a book or newspaper. The original Edwardian fire surround now houses a cosy gas fire.

At the seafront turn left and drive past the Princess Theatre, turning left again at the small roundabout. When you reach the clock tower roundabout, turn left into Torwood Street (which becomes Babbacombe Road). We are about 400 yards ahead on the left, just after the bowling alley but before the museum. From Torquay Station: Walk onto the seafront and turn left (sea on your right). Follow the seafront past the Princess theatre, and then turn left around the harbour to the clock tower roundabout. Then as above.
