About This Property

Cockington Lane, Torquay, TQ2 6QT

Family-run Edwardian guest house with seasonal heated pool and locally sourced breakfasts

Key details

Accommodation

The Charterhouse offers 10 individually decorated bedrooms, including family suites and garden rooms with direct access to the gardens. Two of the garden rooms are designated pet-friendly, with their own patio and private entrance. Rooms designed for guests with mobility needs are available alongside deluxe sea-view rooms that overlook Torbay.

Dining

Breakfast features a full English cooked to order using locally sourced produce, alongside homemade breads and jams from the in-house chef. A vegetarian alternative and continental option are offered, and the menu accommodates dietary needs such as coeliac with gluten-free choices. The breakfast ordering system runs via text message the evening before, so each meal is prepared fresh without waiting.

Grounds & Facilities

The property sits within mature gardens that include a large lawn, a patio, and a seasonal outdoor heated swimming pool fenced for safety. A qualified beauty therapist provides on-site wellness treatments such as full body massage, back massage, and head massage. The gardens offer multiple seating areas, a sun terrace, and a picnic area for guests to use throughout the day.

Location & Activities

The Charterhouse is located 100 metres from the seafront and Livermead beach, and borders Cockington Valley Country Park with its scenic Water Meadows walks. Torquay town centre is within walking distance along the shoreline, and the hotel provides a large private car park exclusively for guests. Nearby attractions include Torre Abbey, Cockington Village with thatched cottages, and several sandy beaches reachable on foot.

Pet-friendly & Family

Two pet-friendly garden rooms allow dogs to stay with their owners and provide direct outdoor access via a private patio. Family suites accommodate larger groups, and a kids' menu with special diet options is available at breakfast. The property also offers a shared lounge with TV, and the heated pool is shallow enough for children to enjoy under supervision.
