This hotel of great warmth and character is situated between Torquay's town centre and marina, and Babbacombe Downs with their magnificent sea views.
The hotel derives its name from the enchanting Ansteys Cove, Torquay, once a smuggler's haven. Ansteys Lea was originally a Victorian gentleman's residence and became a small hotel in 1946. The building’s traditional Victorian ceiling with cornices and roses are a wonderful architectural feature.
The hotel is on the main bus route into Torquay city centre, which takes a matter of minutes. Within 10 minutes’ stroll you can be in Torquay's centre enjoying the Edwardian Pavilion, the lights and the harbour. The nearby village of Wellswood in Torquay has a selection of all kinds of shops, including a supermarket, a cash point, shops, a florist and a pub. A short walk in the other direction takes you to Babbacombe with its famous model village - cited as one of the ‘20 Places In Britain You Must Visit’ by Woman magazine. Babbacombe also has ‘Bygones’ a museum and curiosity shop with a genuine railway engine.
Torquay is the heart of the English Riviera with some of the sunniest weather in England.
The hotel’s main lawn sees the sun for the best part of the day, and is so sheltered that almost anything grows. A well laid out rockery meanders round the lawns.
