Had a 4 night break at the Belmont, and were greeted by Des the owner who immediately took our bags into the hotel. The accommodation was fantastic. The food was excellent and the hosts Des and Linda were very helpful and friendly. I recommend that you do not miss out on a lovely establishment.- Tony and Norma, Torquay
