Wellsway

Torquay


In a radical move for an English seaside B&B, Wellsway has opted to have fewer rooms rather than squeezing them in. The result is wonderfully spacious bedrooms, decked out in subtle stripes using sea tones.

The breakfast spread includes smoked salmon and scrambled eggs, and pancakes with maple syrup.
