Torquay Harbour

Located on the stunning English Riviera, Torquay has plenty to offer including exhilarating water sports, breathtaking scenery, 22 miles of golden beaches and plenty of Torquay hotels to choose from. A short distance from many of the hotels in Torquay you will find plenty to see and do. Visit Splashdown @ Quay West Water Park for an action packed family day out or Torquay’s coastal zoo Living Coasts. Babbacombe Model Village, Kents Cavern and Paignton Zoo are also worth a visit. Plus our hotels in Torquay also provide an ideal base from which to explore the Dartmoor National Park, which offers 450 miles of open countryside, a must for all outdoor enthusiasts! Much of the activity in Torquay centres round the new waterfront, where you will find a tree lined promenade and lively harbour. There is also a wide variety of pavement cafes, restaurants, pubs and nightlife close to our hotels in Torquay, plus some great shopping opportunities. After you have spent the day seeing the sights, having fun on the beach, or taking a scenic walk along the coastal path, head back to one of our great Torquay hotels and take a well earned rest. We have a great range of Torquay hotels with something to suit every budget and taste, with many offering some great food and leisure facilities for you to enjoy.

Disappointing For A 4* Hotel

A customer who stayed at 4* Barcelo Torquay Imperial Hotel in Torquay wrote this review.

Stay Date: 25/09/11

Overall Hotel Rating:

2 out of 5

The hotel reception appeared understaffed, the room was tired in appearance and the furnishings were worn. The restaurant above was hosting a wedding and there was a rain of lit cigerette ends on the terrace outside our room. Plus, we had to pay for parking. The views were stunning, but as there were large patio doors rather than any windows, if you wanted fresh air you were very exposed i was surprised at the change in the area over the last 10 years, it seemed full of young drunken people, even at 6 in the evening there were people staggering about the streets.

Torquay Short Break

A customer who stayed at 4* Barcelo Torquay Imperial Hotel (2 Night Offer & 1st Night Dinner) in Torquay wrote this review.

Stay Date: 21/09/11

Overall Hotel Rating:

4 out of 5

The two night break was great. We had the extra bonus of a room upgrade, as we visited the barcelo before. The meal was good value as this in the price, but to eat there is very expensive.
