Welcome to the Mariners

Welcome to The Victorian Mariners, a lovingly restored 1882 Victorian guesthouse tucked into Torquay’s charming Belgravia district, just moments from the sea. A gentle six-minute stroll leads you to Torre Abbey Sands, the cafés and restaurants along the promenade, and the vibrant heart of the English Riviera in beautiful Devon.

Behind our historic doors, you’ll find six individually styled en suite rooms, including King, Double, Single, and Family accommodations, each designed to offer a warm and relaxing retreat after a day exploring the coast. Every room includes complimentary high speed Wi-Fi, a TV, tea and coffee facilities, mini fridge, and a desk or dressing table for quiet mornings or unhurried evenings.

Guests can enjoy breakfast in our spacious dining room, which also serves as a welcoming place to gather later in the day, whether for a board game, a quiet chat, or a relaxed evening with friends.

The Victorian Mariners also offers complimentary limited private parking and is conveniently located within a short walk of Torquay town centre, the railway and coach stations, making it an ideal base for romantic seaside escapes, family holidays, and memorable stays on the English Riviera.
