Anyone else staying down there for a night or two? Im taking girlfriend down and was wondering if anyone has any recommendations for Hotels or things to do as ive never been down there myself. Preferably after a hotel in walking distance to the sea front. Any suggestions, give us a shout.

Judging by a few years ago - if you want to get a few autographs your best bet is The Palace. I remember almost exclaiming out loud 'holy s**#t is that really Jason Crowe sharing a lift with me??!' Mind you, I'm sure he thought the same about me. Quite the exciting experience.
But yeah, if you wanna treat the GF I'd say there's nowhere better - but it's a bit of a hitch from the seafront.

There is a Premier Travel Inn on the sea front at both Torquay & Paignton. They are not as cheap as most PTI's. But they are both in a prime locations on the sea front. Unfortunately you can't specify sea views either with PTI's. There is also a Travelodge in Torquay, but it's set a long way from the sea front.
If you really want to treat the wife I recommend The Imperial. The Palace, Or the Livermead House. Avoid the Grand Hotel. The food at the Livermead House is some of the best around.
If you want a bargain. I would go for the Sandpiper B&B. Lovely owners, and a top breakfast. Tidy as well.

I'll ask a quick question if you don't mind... There's about 18 of us going down Torquay for this game as it's doubling up as one of our's stag do..... Most of the group are in their mid 30's so what nightspots would you recommend for us? We can't be done with any of this modern music rubbish |

I'm staying at the Richwood. I've no idea how good it is but it has a heated swimming pool and is near the beach so that'll have to do.

Fella..try Stuarts of London..online..loads of sales: retro lads gear..you pay about 3 quid p&p..but get it in a couple of days..also probably get 5 pound off next puchase voucher too. ...Oh and Hole in the Wall pub down at the Harbour for real ales...Cider Press had gone decidedly downhill on the reccy trip Monday! |
