Where you stay matters –
it’s not just a bed.

We’ve lived by the sea for over 20 years. And when you live by the sea, you have a lot of visitors! We’ve loved hosting friends and family in our home for years, and now we extend that welcome to you. We welcome you, as friends, into our home, where we offer a personable, authentic, local experience.

Trust us to make your stay relaxing and memorable.

Whilst Villa Marina is our home, you can expect the highest standards for your stay. We pride ourselves on our levels of cleanliness, comfort, and quality. But don’t just take our word for it. Check out our reviews to see what you can expect. Based on our guest reviews, we recently received a Tripadvisor Travellers’ Choice award for 2023 (who better to judge!).

The Villa

This handsome Victorian Villa was originally built as a family home in the 1860s. Featuring characteristic large airy rooms and fashionable high ceilings with decorative mouldings. Each room has large feature windows that flood the rooms with natural daylight but have been sympathetically double-glazed for your comfort.

Villa Marina Guest House stands proudly in its south-facing garden, where you might enjoy a leisurely cream tea or summer evening drink. We are just a few minutes walk from both Torre and Torquay train stations and have plenty of guest parking available. It is just a short, level walk to Torquay seafront, Torquay harbour, shops and restaurants and is a perfect base from which to explore the surrounding countryside, moorland or plethora of visitor attractions or to just breathe in the stunning beauty of the South Devon coastline.

Our Sustainability

We are committed to reducing our environmental impact and supporting our community.

For your breakfasts, we use the finest locally sourced ingredients where possible. You choose from our extensive menu and cook your breakfasts freshly to order.

We have also been recognised as a Level 1 Travel Sustainable accommodation for demonstrating our commitment to implementing impactful sustainability practices.

Waggy Tails Welcome

We know that sometimes your dream getaway wouldn't be complete without your canine companion. Just like for every guest, there's a little something for every dog here at Villa Marina, whether they're the perfect companion for a day of exploring Torquay or more of a pampered pooch that would just love lazing in our sunny south-facing garden with you. Find out more about our dog policy.
