“The Cimon impresses as a meticulously cared-for Victorian villa, and it's rare to find onsite parking in central Torquay, so that's a genuine advantage. I especially like the heated outdoor pool set within the large patio garden-a tranquil escape after exploring the nearby Agatha Christie Mile. What strikes me most is the blend of historic charm and modern comfort, creating a truly inviting stay.”
