This luxury, detached Victorian villa with beautiful private gardens, is set in a peaceful part of Torquay, a short walk from Torquay's conference centre and Abbey Sands beach and harbour. The Hotel has undergone a substantial transformation over the past few months and has a complete new look for 2007. In March 2006 the Carlton Court Hotel was one of the first in Torbay to be given the prestigious silver award under the new harmonised common standard of quality assessment. This hotel has been awarded stars under the heading 'hotel accommodation'. An additional silver award has been given for exceptional standards of quality in all areas of accommodation, hospitality, facilities and service. The standards of the silver award from January 06 have been enhanced and much more difficult to achieve, which is why we are so proud of our award. All beds in the hotel are extra length (6ft 6') and a minimum standard of king-size. Nearby are the Torquay Riviera Conference and Sports Centre, with indoor swimming pools wave machine and water chutes; and Torre Abbey with its beautiful gardens, including pitch and putt, tennis and bowls. The beautiful thatched village of Cockington is only a mile from the hotel, with its attractive lakes and gardens. Torquay has something for everyone: a walk along the promenade, the beach, marina and harbour, theatres, cinemas, quality nightclubs and access to many of the South West's major attractions. Breakfast in the restaurant includes a self-service buffet with fruit juice, fruit, yogurts and cereals, a full traditional breakfast, toast, tea or coffee.

Guests are at liberty to bring their own drinks for consumption in their bedroom only. Please note that The Carlton Court Hotel is entirely non-smoking, does not cater for children or pets.
