Grand Hotel, Devon, Torquay Accommodation, Hotels in Torquay

 Dreaming of a short break in Torquay, in the heart of the English Riviera? The Grand hotel, situated on the seafront is one of Torquay's premier hotels. It is known for the standard of its 4 star hotel accommodation, food and facilities and loved for its dedicated team of staff that makes every effort to deliver a warm welcome and a professional, friendly service.  Testimony to its good food is the award of an AA Rosette - an honour in the industry for a hotel of The Grand's size.

Torquay is at the centre of Devon’s golden mile . The maritime towns of Torquay, Paignton and Brixham line the 22 miles of English Riviera coastline and offer some of the best beaches in the county.  The area is home to some of Devon’s top attractions and you’ll find favourite choices on our Attractions and Local Places of interest pages.

 Torquay is a family friendly destination and children will be enthralled by Paignton Zoo, where they can visit The Grand hotel’s adopted rhinoceros, Zuri, and Torquay's Living Coast, a short walk from the hotel. In Brixham you can step aboard a replica of Sir Francis Drake's Golden Hind. Nearby is Dartmouth with its famous college and rich naval history. All of these towns offer summer long activity on the water.  And you don't have to go by car.  Boat trips are available between towns as well as to places like Greenway - one of Agatha Christie's former homes.

The Devon coast and countryside is littered with charming villages full of character, with shops, galleries and entertainment spots that provide a welcome break from sunbathing and watersports.

No holiday in Devon is complete without a visit to Dartmoor or Exmoor, especially where rugged beauty is offset against the rolling, verdant, pastoral hills. Torquay is accessible to it all and therefore must be considered a perfect base for a holiday or short break in Devon.
