Information about the host

Carlton Court is spacious Victorian Villa. There is a selection of Superior, Deluxe and Guest Suites for you to choose from. All the bedrooms are decorated to a very high standard as you would expect from a 5 Star Bed & Breakfast. For guests’ convenience, there is a small honesty bar, featuring local beers, gins and more. There is a beautiful “secret” sub-tropical garden, with over 50 species of flora and comfortable outside seating, and a car park with ample space for all guests.

The Hosts Since March 2018, Terry and De have run Carlton Court, in the heart of Torquay. Their trade mark, exceptional customer service, is matched by Terry’s expertise in the kitchen, where his long career in hospitality include senior positions at The Savoy and The Connaught, in addition to his own London restaurant which was ranked in the top 100 in the UK. Terry is thrilled that one of his house specialities, the omelette Arnold Bennet, created at The Savoy way back in the 1920s, is so popular with the guests. Although most of the food served is made in house, the dry cured bacon and sausages are from a local butcher who has won the award of best butcher from Taste of the South West for the last two years.

Carlton court is situated in a conservation area, 10 minutes from the seafront and beach. The harbour and marina are also within walking distance. There are many reasons to stay here, including the proximity of Dartmoor National Park, and may other dramatic destinations along the beautiful South Devon coast. Torquay is a foodie’s paradise, with restaurants ranging from a Michelin starred establishment, to some excellent fish restaurants, specialising in South Devon’s world class seafood, and possibly the best hamburger joint in the South West! There is something for every pocket!
