Room was very clean and quiet we had a great view. Breakfast was fine and the restaurant areas were clean and pleasant. Hotel needs a lick of paint outside, and probably some money spent. But overall the Grand Torquay is a perfectly adequate hotel in a good location especially if arriving by train.

Arrived and greeted by the most incredibly kind staff. They really couldnt have given us any more to make us feel welcome. Want to give a huge thanks to Robin on reception. My husband has a neck injury and the staff even offered to get pain medications from the local Pharmacist for us. The food in 1881 resturant within the grand hotel was delicious and served by Felix. What a kind gentleman he was also. Even making my young boy happy by giving him free mocktails! Both inside and outsoor pools area great addition to our stay, the breakfast is tasty and always left each morning with full bellies. We will definitely be coming back. We were so sad to leave today. Thank you all for a wonderful stay
