The Abbey Lawn

Torbay – England’s Riviera Coast with its contrasting and captivating coastline, its fine sandy beaches, stunning rocky woodlands and the tropical palms, which abound in the gentle climate. Torquay offers a cosmopolitan atmosphere, which specialises in the needs of the visitor.

This elegant Georgian hotel, in the grounds of the former Torre Abbey, has recently been refurbished and now offers the discerning holidaymaker an exceptional standard of comfort throughout. Many of the bedrooms offer panoramic views of the bay. There are graceful and spacious comfortable lounges, a conservatory overlooking the bay and an in-house leisure centre.

Torquay is most certainly one of the UK’s finest resorts and the heart of the English Riviera. The harbour town is birthplace of the famous crime novelist Dame Agatha Christie and the beauty of the area is captured in many of her famous novels. In keeping with its name, the Riviera of Britain enjoys an enviable climate, a distinctly European atmosphere and a host of sandy beaches and secluded coves.

If you are looking to unwind in style, this elegant Georgian hotel is the place to stay. Located in the grounds of the former Torre Abbey, overlooking Torbay, there are superb facilities. These include indoor and outdoor swimming pools, gym, steamroom, sauna and a spacious conservatory. As with all our own hotels a night porter ensures 24 hour reception service.
