So what is there to do in Torquay?
Torquay on the English Riveria, Devon was made popular by the Victorians who visited to take advantage of the mild climate and many of the beautiful Victorian villas still remain, now being used as hotels or guest houses. Today it is still a very popular destination for short breaks, business and training events and summer holidays. Even if the weather is not too good there is still plenty to do and below are just some ideas for your next holiday!
Attractions:
Kents Cavern, one of the most special caves in Britain, people have been exploring it since 1571
Paignton Zoo, fab day out at this large environmental park
Bygones, step back in time to see how we used to shop in the Victorian times
Babbacombe Model Village, everything in miniature!
Paignton and Dartmouth Steam Railway, lovely journey along the coast
visiting the towns of Totnes, Kingswear and Dartmouth,
playing golf at the numerous courses,
visting Agatha Christies home Greenway Mansion
Cockington Village, Court and grounds

Wow its hot here in Torquay!
What an amazing Easter weekend its been down here on the English Riveria, the weather has been and is set to be lovely for the next few days, lets hope this lasts until the Summer months to ensure guests have the best holiday here in Torquay, Devon.
Our two new bathrooms are complete and are looking very smart, makes such a difference to the feel of the room, more modern and contemporary with big walk in shower cubicles and environmental flush toilets to save water (and money!)
With families in mind for the coming summer we now have a family room with big bathroom - sleeps 4, a suite of two rooms (double and twin) and also a double and single room accessed via its own private door. A number of guesthouses in Torquay have decided not to take families anymore but we feel this is an important part of our guest market so hopefully we will be able to cater for many needs. Why not call us direct to find out best prices for your family holiday.

A day at the Zoo
Invited to a trade day for hoteliers yesterday at Paignton Zoo. Great opportunity to have an tour so we can pass on information to our guests when visiting. Paington Zoo is a fantastic day out for all the family and has certainly grown from its hubble opening in 1923. Today it is home to thousands of animals living across 80 acres and is dedicated to education and conservation of our wildlife. Anyone visiting our guest house can pick up discount vouchers for this attraction and also Living Coasts6 ,a small coastal zoo in Torquay housing seals, penguins and other various sea birds.
