We spent four nights here for a short break. Great location just across the road from the sea, and about 15 minute walk into Torquay, although there is a bus stop right outside the hotel with a frequent service into Torquay. The hotel is old fashioned in the nicest possible way. All staff are uniformed, the public areas have that... More

We were hosting a group visit to the South West and all sang the praises of the Livermead. Excellent value and the staff could not have been more welcoming and helpful. True some of the décor could be updated, but so what, the hotel was clean and comfortable, the food excellent and we loved the feeling of being transported back... More

WOW, I returned today from a week at the Livermead House with my grandparents. This was my third trip to the hotel in 11 months, and I will be returning a further twice by the end of 2013. I travelled with the coach company, Marine Travel, and driver John was lovely. When we arrived at the hotel, we were greeted... More

Yesterday, I took Afternoon Tea at The Ritz in London. They always offer friendly service, the staff are liveried, and the piano player pushes out popular tunes and some of the classics. All in the rococo surroundings of Palm Court, with its chandeliers, patterned carpets, heavy draped curtains, gilded statuary and mirrors. I had just come back from my annual... More

I first visited this hotel on my honeymoon some 55 years ago when it was being run by the same family who run it today, i.e. the Rew Family. I have visited it a number of times over the years the last being on Saturday, 25th May 2013. It has changed little over the years and maintains its friendly atmosphere... More

We have just spent another weekend break at the Livermead. It is an excellent hotel for food with a large selection of high quality fare. We like the hotel for the excellent ballroom but are disappointed with the decor and furnishings in the rest of the hotel. It really does need updating and some of the rooms are very small.... More

The Livermead House Hotel is very charming as the staff are so polite and helpful and the dining is silver service and four courses. The rooms may be dated but we had a wonderful sea view room with pretty decor. Would highly recommend this hotel as it is very classy for not a very high price tag and it is... More

I loved this place it is quite charming and I would recommend you book a sea view room as it's well worth it, our room was large and although it was a little dated I rather liked it as it would of been my dream room in the 1980's. We visited in March and it was a little chilly in... More

It's easy to see both side of the arguments put here on Trip Advisor... so here's me trying to be balanced. First of all be aware that "Club" rooms appear to be small rooms at the back of the hotel. I booked a Club room for 2 nights at a very reasonable price. Based on comments here left my partner... More

We stumbled upon this hotel by chance as we were going to have afternoon tea further along Torquay sea-front but there were no parking spaces on Saturday 9th of March only over-priced car-parks. I have been to this hotel on various occasions from weddings to dinner events and it has remained pretty much the same. We parked our cars for... More
