Hotel recommendations for Torquay

[Cloud44]

What’s the best hotel recommendations for a hotel in Torquay? Adult stay but doesn’t need to be adults only, ideally nice view and good food! Pool and spa if possible.

I live within 30 minutes so haven't stayed in Torquay but a friend of my cousin runs this place https://www.berburryhotel.co.uk and my cousin raves about it. Sadly no pool or spa but they may have recommendations.

I have been to events at the Palace Hotel in Paignton. The food was very good and they do have a pool and spa but it's not in Torquay. It does look out over the sea though.

This is just up the hill and very lovely "Luxury 5* Hotel Boutique Hotel in Devon | Cary Arms & Spa" www.caryarms.co.uk

Surely Fawlty Towers!!!!

Was just here to say that, you beat me to it.

In Torquay? I've had the misfortune to stay there a few times for family reasons and none have been good, very noisy (which is the other guests quite frankly not the hotel per se but does affect your enjoyment). Inland a bit you'll get something nicer. If it needs to be Torquay just book a chain, won't be amazing but shouldn't cost too much at least. Definitely avoid the Redcliffe in Paignton, was one of the worst hotels I've stayed in and was £££ (wedding, no choice really)

The imperial, the grand, hilton are all nice

I can personally recommend The Belgrave Sands. It’s absolutely beautiful, near to the seafront. It’s got a small pool and steam room/sauna. Food is fantastic.
