What the Collection Covers

• Guest experience — stays at the Gleneagles, cabaret weekends, weddings on the terrace and Fawlty Towers dinner shows.

• Hotel history — the people, renovations, dining rooms and events that defined different periods.
• Cultural context — the hotel's famous association with British television comedy.

Where the Hotel Stood

The Gleneagles occupied a hillside site in the Wellswood district of Torquay, Devon, overlooking Anstey's Cove — the buildings now on the site are private retirement homes, so please respect residents' privacy. The surrounding area, from the cove to the coast path, is open to all and described in our guides to Torquay and things to do nearby.
