“The Somerville stands out, even in Torquay, for its dedication to luxury that doesn't feel staged. It's the kind of place where the hosts remember your name and the shortbread is homemade, reflecting a rare blend of seaside relaxation and tailored service. A Gold Award winner, and it shows, from the mood lighting to the generous breakfast-the attention to detail elevates it beyond the typical B&B, making it a true boutique experience.”
