We had a great stay. We were warmly welcomed and our room with bathroom was a good size and really clean. The bed was perfect. Breakfast was fantastic and we were really well looked after. Location is great for the sea front, bars, shops and bus and train station. Highly recommended.

This is a great place to stay in Torquay. We were met with a lovely warm welcome from the owners who made us feel very welcome from the start. The room was immaculate and nicely decorated. Breakfast was delicious and the owners couldn't do enough for us and our 1 year old. We will definitely be returning.

Brilliant attention to detail !! The owners treated us like old friends, and as it was or 34 wedding anniversary they had laid on various presents and extras. Thoroughly recommend.

We received such a lovely warm welcome from Vanessa and Cameron on arrival at the Millbrook, which immediately made us feel at home. Hotel was absolutely spotless, and breakfast was piping hot and delicious, in fact it was the best breakfast we have had. Vanessa and Cameron worked so hard to make everyone’s stay perfect. They took the time to get to know each guest individually. We loved the well-stocked tea tray in our room and the mini fridge, which was restocked daily with fresh milk and...

I was frankly amazed at the quality of Briarfields immediately I walked through the front door. Everything looks freshly decorated, neutral colours, spotless carpeting... My room (No.8) on the top floor looked like it had been decorated yesterday, a small fridge with fresh milk and a bottle of water, comfortable bed, good quality clock/alarm. The bathroom was spotless.

Really enjoyed our weekend away. The Charterhouse is within walking distance of the beach and the town. Perfect on a sunny day! Beautiful, well looked after grounds with outdoor seating and a swimming pool. Marion and Les are lovely and very helpful, they go out of their way to make you feel welcome. They have a vast knowledge of the area and lots of ideas for days out. Breakfast is great and so much choice, definitely sets you up for a busy day of sightseeing! Their homemade bread, jams and...

We had a fantastic break, the hosts were perfect, the facilities great and we enjoyed the most amazing food. The breakfast buffet was extensive with a great range of local and home made produce and this was all followed by a mesmerising choice of hot food which included local produce. There was cake on hand all day along with fresh tea and coffee and the hosts couldn't do enough to ensure we had a great stay.

What an amazing find. I have been going to Brixham since I was 6 years old (now 40) and had never stayed here, but so happy I did.
Super friendly staff and the breakfast was amazing.
Keep it up guys! I would definitely recommend and stay again without hesitation.

The stretch of Devon's coastline between Torquay, Paignton and Brixham is known as the English Riviera - and with good reason! If you choose a hotel, guesthouse or B&B in any of these towns you can save yourself the trouble of travelling to Spain or Italy in the summer. Along with award-winning beaches, a stunning coastline and even rows of palm trees lining the main promenade in Torquay, you'll find a wealth of other attractions and numerous accommodation options to suit all tastes and budgets.
Hotels in Devon for Fun Nights Out on the English Riviera
Although this stretch of Devon's exquisite coastline is famous for its daytime attractions, the interest doesn't let up in the evenings either. Paignton, Torquay and Brixham have some of the best bars, clubs and nightspots in Devon, along with excellent restaurants serving a range of local and international dishes. Whether you're staying up late to boogie the night away or just fancy a drink and a snack, you'll find what you need in the local pubs and dining venues. With so much going on you can choose a hotel, guesthouse or B&B right in the heart of town or further out that will suit your budget and your needs.
Activities from Devon Hotels on the English Riviera
Many locales like Torquay along the English Riviera are fringed by palm trees and overlook award-winning beaches. There's always plenty to do in the water here during a family holiday, and also attractions like the magnificent Geopark. This stretch of the coast is recognised by UNESCO and is a unique environment in which to get the kids interested in fossils and dinosaurs.
Babbacombe Bay is especially popular for its cliff top walks and stunning vistas. It has England's highest promenade and the views from here across south Devon are simply breath-taking. In nearby Paignton there's a famous zoo as well as lots of family-friendly attractions. Crabbing and rock-pooling are great fun here and on Goodrington Sands there's a Seashore Centre for visitors to the shoreline to learn more about the various things they've caught at low tide. This makes a great day out from your Devon hotel or B&B, whether you're based on the coast or inland.
