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.

3 nights for the price of 2!

Happy New Year to all our past and future guests, hoping that your Christmas was a happy and relaxing one. For us it was a chance to evaluate the 2017 season - the highs and lows and throw around some ideas on what to do during the Winter months in the way of renovating and redecorating. Along with this we have had some lovely professional photos taken of room 2, our Kingsize room which was decorated during the year and the guest lounge and dining room redecorated and kitted out with some new wicker style chairs.  Really pleased with the result.

7 Things to do in Torquay during June

Its nearly June!  In our 13 years running our bed and breakfast in Torquay we have found June to be a really good month in which to visit this area, the weather is normally beautiful and there are events happening which can be enjoyed without the crowds that July and August brings. There's always something happening on the  English Riviera and with that in mind I have handpicked 7 activities to enjoy during June here in Torquay and further afield. 1. Torbay Air Show 1st and 2nd June Back for its third year in Torbay, the airshow has certainly grown in popularity bringing in excess of 165,000 spectators to the Bay of Torquay, Paignton and Brixham.

Including the Red Arrows.  Or sit in one of the many cafes and bars to watch the live show! We have a couple of rooms still available and as we are only an 8 minute...
