Lyme Regis Marine Aquarium Tours and Activities

The Grand Hotel in Torquay has an excellent position when travelling without a car. The hotel is a minute away from Torquay station on one side, four minutes at the back (which means disability access to both train platforms). The beach is right across the road. The bus stops are in front of the hotel, going to the port and central town. My room was much more spacious than I expected, with a sea view, very comfortable, twin beds, tea, impeccable sheets and towels. Tea bags, hot chocolate and coffee and biscuits with kettle. The bathroom has everything needed and there was a hair dryer in one of the draws. As for the swimming pools! They scored the full five stars! Heated! The outside swimming pool was warm, even on a windy day it was well sheltered. The inside swimming pool was also warm, the room well heated. I would come back for that swim under the sunshine and that terrace overlooking sea and swimming pools. The people working at the hotel were very professional and friendly. We will be back.
