The Cleveland Bed & Breakfast

Where Warm Hospitality Meets Boutique Comfort

?>

A little more than a B&B...

A warm welcome, beautifully appointed rooms, exceptional breakfasts and relaxed evening meals — all in a peaceful setting, just a short walk from Torquay's seafront. Run by Matt & Lissanne, The Cleveland is a small, independently owned B&B where personal service still matters. From the moment you arrive we want you to feel relaxed, looked after and very much at home.
Torquay and The English Riviera

Torquay and The English Riviera

Set along the scenic English Riviera in South Devon, Torquay is a charming seaside town blending classic British holiday traditions with a hint of continental flair. Known for its mild climate, palm-lined promenades, and elegant Victorian architecture, it centres around a picturesque harbour perfect for strolls, café stops, and shopping. Nearby Babbacombe offers stunning sea views, a historic cliff railway, and access to beaches like Oddicombe.

History lovers can explore the prehistoric Kents Cavern or follow the Agatha Christie Trail, celebrating the town’s famous literary daughter. With golden beaches like Meadfoot and Torre Abbey Sands, plus dramatic coastal walks along the South West Coast Path, Torquay is a haven for sunseekers and outdoor enthusiasts alike. A growing food scene and year-round festivals add to its lively yet laid-back charm, making it a perfect spot for a relaxing seaside escape.
