Guests say
Riviera Mews in Torquay receives high praise for its breathtaking sea views, spacious and modern interiors, and excellent location for exploring the area. Guests consistently mention the well-equipped kitchen, comfortable bedrooms, and relaxing spa bath. The undercover parking and outdoor spaces are appreciated, though some note the steep steps to the beach and minor maintenance issues. Thoughtful touches such as welcome refreshments are highlighted, but not guaranteed. Overall, guests feel at home and are eager to return, with positives far outweighing any minor drawbacks.
Multiple reviews mention the property being very clean and well-presented, with no significant complaints about cleanliness. One review specifically states they could not fault the cleanliness.
The location is widely praised for its stunning views over the bay and proximity to the beach and town centre. The only recurring note is the steep steps, which may not suit everyone, but overall the setting is considered exceptional.
Guests frequently describe the property as spacious, comfortable, and cosy, with blackout curtains and a spa bath adding to the comfort. A few minor issues are mentioned, such as mattress quality and a window that couldn't be opened, but these are outweighed by positive comments.
The property is generally described as well-equipped, with a modern kitchen and amenities like a jacuzzi bath and outdoor heater. Some guests mention minor maintenance issues (e.g., broken patio furniture, shower temperature, missing balcony key) and a desire for more utensils, but overall facilities are rated highly.
Several guests appreciated thoughtful touches such as milk, biscuits, tea, and coffee on arrival, as well as clear instructions for appliances. Please note, however, that these welcome gifts are not guaranteed for every stay.

Second time here, always great except for a few things like the shower wasn’t adjusting for temp, unable to open bedroom window.We did email the owner but no response which was disappointing.

We had an absolutely amazing stay at the Riviera Mews! The accommodation was fantastic with views to die for! The upstairs balcony was a beautiful place to sit and look out onto the amazing views Torquay had to offer. Bedrooms were clean and comfortable and all the amenities we required were there. The outside heater was perfect for once the sun had set so we could still take in the surroundings. If you get worried about missing out on a workout whilst on holiday, don’t be as to get down the the town there are plenty of steps to keep you fit! Would highly recommend Riviera Mews and would 100% return! Thank you for a lovely stay!
