When we arrived we were greeted in a very friendly and reassuring way by Julia. She gave us a lot of information regarding the local area and where the best restaurant's were to eat. She also showed us a map of the local area, pointing out places of interest which were suitbale for myself and my wife. The facilities at the Cimon were excellent and we would definitely come again. Breakfast was top notch and whilst we didn't use the pool, it was very well maintained and warm to the touch. Thank you for a lovely stay

Julia and Jamie were incredibly friendly and welcoming throughout our stay. Breakfast was freshly cooked every morning, with plenty of choice available. The seafront with lots of restaurants and amenities are within walking distance, making it a very convenient location. The mattress was a little too firm for our liking. We would also have appreciated the option of later breakfast slots (the latest slot was 9-9.15am) and blackout curtains/blinds in the bedroom, which would have allowed us to enjoy a lie-in whilst away. Otherwise, thanks for a lovely stay :)

Superb hosts and lovely property located ten minutes' walk up a hill from the main beach in Torquay. Two upstairs rear bedrooms have a sea view, and the interior is wonderfully in keeping with the Victorian building. Double-glazed windows and own pool a bonus. Made to feel extremely welcome and would have no hesitation in returning.

Loved our 2 night stay at Cimon. Fantastic owners Julia and Jamie. So friendly and accommodating.Room was lovely, comfortable bed and very clean. We had a sea view which was lovely. Breakfast was delicious, plenty to choose from. Plenty of parking on site. The pool was an extra touch as it was so hot when we went. 5 minutes walk to the seafront and shops so perfect location. Would definitely recommend it to anyone. We would with no doubt use The Cimon again.

Julia & Jamie were the perfect hosts. Friendly & helpful. The accommodation is really clean and well maintained. Cooked breakfast was always nice and hot with a plentiful supply of fruit, pastries and cereals available. The pool/patio area looks a lovely place to relax and the pool looks really inviting. Overall I have no hesitation in recommending this hotel.

My little boy (7) and I have just come back from a wonderful half term week at The Cimon & I could not recommend it enough. A quick stroll to the beach, offering plenty of eateries, with options for all. The pool was an absolute god send as the weather was just perfect. Julia & Jamie were so lovely & helpful offering lots of ideas in and around Torquay. We will definitely return.
