The mild climate, sandy beaches, leisure and recreational facilities have led to the Torquay area of Devon being nicknamed the English Riviera. Our hotels in Torquay put you right in the heart of this wonderful part of the UK, and with the seaside resort of Torquay itself being a popular holiday destination since Victorian times, the villas, gardens and elegant street-front facades still recall a bygone era. Yet, Torquay has today a vibrant and modern outlook, with entertainment venues and fine dining choices that won’t let you down.
