Complimentary tea or coffee and a slice of homemade cake will be a welcome treat after your journey – relaxing in our beautiful lounge, taking in the view from the picture windows.

Our well-appointed rooms are all en-suite, with modern showers, luxury pocket-sprung beds and equipped with everything you will need during your stay. Complimentary ‘special touches’, such as Devon bottled water, luxury toiletries and a gift bag of our homemade fudge make a stay at The Cleveland ‘extra special’ and memorable.

Neighbourhood information

The Cleveland is ideally located in Torquay. We are away from the busy main roads, so you can enjoy a peaceful nights sleep. However, most of the local attractions, restaurants and bars are within easy walking distance or a short taxi ride away. Public transport is very close by too, so why not leave the car and enjoy an open-top bus ride around The Bay? There is so much to see and do.
