Best restaurants in Torquay
"The 4 star, Grand Hotel occupies pride of place on the Torbay seafront, commanding majestic views over the bay and out to sea. Since being purchased by the Richardson Group in 2001, it has undergone a sympathetic restoration that has exposed its magnificent Victorian and Art Deco architectural characteristics. Whatever the weather, the comfort and luxury of the Grand has something to offer everyone."
"Located in the heart of the town, The Grand Hotel is a four-star hotel with beautiful views of the sea. The hotel is designed in a fancy English way and almost resembles a castle or a big mansion. There are two pools on-site, one indoor and one outdoor, that face the glistening sea."
"This Victorian boys’ grammar school on the edge of Dartmoor National Park is now a 17-bedroom boutique hotel. It’s perfectly placed to explore South Devon’s attractions, a short drive from the A38."

"St Pancras' immense 40m tower has seen it dubbed the Cathedral of the Moor. Inside, search out the boards telling the fire-and-brimstone tale of the violent storm of 1638 – it knocked a pinnacle from the roof,..."
"Not so much a pub, more a museum with beer," is how its owners describe the Bridge. It has been in landlady Caroline Cheffers-Heard's family since 1897, and, in many ways, little has changed over time. Beer is still gravity-dispensed from the barrel (from £2.80), mobile phones are discouraged ("The Bridge is a place of conversation between people and not machines", reads a sign) and its rooms are decorated with the sort of antique bric-a-brac - grandfather clocks, mounted butterflies, rifles, tattered union flag bunting – that might have once cluttered up a Victorian gentlemen's club."
"has been run by the same family since 1897, offering a service that has changed little since then. This makes the Bridge Inn a refreshing change from the droves of identikit chain pubs that surround it in Britain. Serving lunchtime food only, they offer a selection of authentic British pub fare with their immensely popular ever-changing cask ales."
