Livermead Cliff Hotel

From our very first meeting with Kerry, we could tell that the Livermead Cliff hotel was on another level to all of the other hotels we had considered on our wedding planning journey. The hotel ticked every box for us – not only is it an excellent location with such stunning views of Torquay (perfect for wedding photography!), but also the function room is a fantastic size and very modern. This altogether allowed a perfect amount of flexibility for our big Greek wedding of around 180 guests. Charles, Kerry, Anthony, head chef Darius and all members of staff at the hotel worked so hard from start to finish. Charles and Kerry answered all of the questions we had along the way and also helped provide us a bespoke wedding menu of Greek food which chef Darius honestly got down to t! The wine provided was also so lovely – you can tell Anthony has great taste and only provides the best quality. The hotel worked so well with all companies involved in the organising of our wedding, and our photos speak for themselves, showing just how stunning the function room looked and how well the room was set up to accommodate all our guests, as well as our eccentric entertainment and high energy Greek dancing. Charles is just such a personable guy and remembering back to how he waited for us at the front of the hotel with our glasses of prosecco on our arrival is such a lovely memory to have and showed us how much care he had put into our wedding. We knew that we were in safe hands with Charles and Kerry – the success of our day speaks volumes about their expertise in organising large events. Even months on family and friends haven’t stopped telling us how amazing the venue was, how much they all loved the food and overall just how well that it was organised. Livermead Cliff, we can’t thank you enough for giving us the most amazing and unforgettable wedding day!

If it hadn't been for the celebration of life I would not have stayed, the room was a box room the pillows were very hard and flat, the carpet was filthy and ridged, the bathroom had one white tile stuck on which it looks like the tile had been broken and the white one was all they could find. The trim on the bath was dirty and could have done with been changed. The window in the room was filthy. I know I only paid £80 but to be honest I wish I had slept outside.

Although the hotel could do with a little updating I have to say the staff were fabulous. My initial room was a bit of a dark prison cell but I upgraded easily and had fabulous sea views, they were so accommodating on reception. Breakfast was great with lots of choice and all serving staff were lovely.

Came here for lunch on our walks. The views were beautiful. We had a lunchtime meat and cheese panini, which was nice, but if critical, the cheese was not melted, barely warm. Not sure if supposed to be hot though. Would eat and drink here again. Danke

Real luxury and service as standard a real jewel in the crown of Torbay. We are a group of like minded people who live and work in and around the Torbay area. We have formed a Sunday Lunch review club with the aim of finding Quality in food , customer experience, nice surroundings and above all to encapsulate all three. Torbay has many hotels and many establishments that serve a decent Sunday lunch as always we go with an open mind and no preconceptions. The Livermead Cliff Hotel cannot be recommended highly enough, thus far it has ticked all of the points set by the team. Staff Professional, Smart, can do attitudes, polite and attentive. Food absolutely gorgeous on quality (all locally sourced) as described by the manager. Furthermore the culinary imagination sough no bounds, it was exactly what it states on the menu. I would highly challenge anyone to find an establishment that brings professionalism, caring attentiveness and Quality of food in one establishment. The location on sunny day is akin to any area in Europe, beautiful views of the sea and outlying areas across to Torquay. Todays visit was credit to all at the Livermead and if I could give some advice, it would be to those who pass by, or want quality look no further than this gem.

We had a wonderful weekend here as a Church conference. Apart from the fact that you are on the sea with heavenly views, the hotel is warm and comfortable, and we were well looked after in their conference room below. The staff could not have been more helpful and efficient, and the food was simply phenomenal. Although we had a lot of choice, and waiters came to take our orders, the food was delivered fast and efficiently. I had fish for all three main meals - red mullet, hake and seabass - and it was perfectly cooked and really delicious. Starters and desserts were equally delectable; this dining-room is as good as any top restaurant. I hope we'll be there again next year! A lovely place to be at a cold grey time of year.
