Please note: Sorry, no hen or stag parties. The charging of electric vehicles is prohibited at this property.. Riviera Mansion is a high-profile property in an unparalleled, commanding position overlooking Torbay. From its south facing, large balcony you can have morning coffee and watch the sun rise, and then later from the same large balcony, watch it set over distant Dartmoor. It was once the home of the Victorian super rich on a grand scale with 11 live in servants, this now a very large, lavish two story apartments in an ideal setting. With bay windows that showcase the sea view to perfection, the living area has the kind of décor that’ll make you want to stay forever. With its ornamental ceilings and chandeliers that glint, the fireplace offers a traditional touch and there’s seating for eight for those cosy evenings in.
Both the living and dining rooms lead out onto your balcony, to what many believe offers the best views of Torbay, so there is no finer vantage point to while away an afternoon watching the boats out on the water while you unwind. Back inside, the dining area seats up to eight, so you’ll be able to dine in style and catch up with the rest of your group after a busy day of adventures. There is also a utility room with a pub-size table football.
Upstairs on the first floor, you’ll find four welcoming large en-suite bedrooms designed with true relaxation in mind. The master bedroom and bedroom two have king-size beds, and bedrooms three and four have twins, so they’re perfect for younger members of the group.
Riviera Mansion is found within easy reach of Torre Abbey Sands, one of Torquay’s best-loved sandy beaches, as well as Torre Abbey House and Gardens, and the Princess Theatre. You’ll find the bustling harbour area just a short stroll away, and it’s lined with cafés and restaurants perfect for those lazy days watching the world go by.

We, family of 6, had an amazing experience. The view from the enormous balcony is second to none. This place is huge and has so much character. I will be booking again as I have severe post holiday Blues from having such a great experience with my family

We really enjoyed our stay at the riviera mansion stunning views of Torquay beach & marina from the fabulous balcony.The facilities in the house were very good plenty of room for a family of 8, the only downside was the single bed mattresses were not very comfortable they really need replacing, we contacted the owner who tried to find a solution.Would we stay again? Yes 100%
