The Cimon is run by Julia and Jamie and is a 12-room B&B that is comfy, cozy and feels like you are staying at their home (you are!). My friend Kim and I stayed two nights so we could explore all things Agatha Christie, and Julia recommended a stellar tour guide Graham who really made our trip, and Jamie recommended an excellent seafood spot (No. 7 Fish Bistro/Wine Bar). The common areas include a swimming pool and patio for the summer months and a conservatory for breakfast and happy hour cocktails made with local spirits. The rooms and lounges are comfy and have everything you need. The Cimon is within walking distance or a short cab ride to everything you want to see and do in Torquay. Highly recommend and thank you Julia and Jamie for such a welcoming stay!

We had a fabulous stay at The Cimon celebrating my husband's birthday. Julia and Jamie made sure that all our friends and family were made to feel truly welcome and comfortable. Every room our group booked was immaculately clean and all well laid out and very spacious. Our group had a range of dietary requirements and spanned all age groups, all of which was managed effortlessly. Nothing was too much trouble. A fabulous choice for larger groups and special celebrations.

Lovely hotel, our room had a great sea view, bathroom was spotless, big bed that was very comfortable. The hotel is a credit to it's owners, it has a pool and patio area, it's is like being in the Med. Breakfast was perfect, great plant based choice. Friendly owners. Far better than staying at any of the branded hotels. We will be back, highly recommend!!....and we had a fun night out in Torquay, lots of restaurants and bars.

We stayed at the Cimon for three days. Julia and Jamie the host’s couldn’t do enough to make our short stay memorable. We booked a sea view room and we weren’t disappointed. The room was very clean and airy. The bed was very comfortable. The breakfasts were excellent. The whole building was clean and tidy. The swimming pool area is a plus. Unfortunately we had to cut short our stay but the short time we were there we really enjoyed it. Julia and Jamie, thank you. We will be back.

We thoroughly enjoyed our trip to Torquay and Julia and Jamie were super. Lots of local knowledge and nothing was too much trouble. Breakfast was very generous and the coffee and tea top ups were great. Fridge in the room is a bonus. Thank you! Two things worth noting, if you’re not typically early risers, breakfast stops at 9.30am and there are verticals slatted blinds in the rooms, rather than curtains, which let quite a lot of light in. We always travel with eye patches, so not a problem for us.
