Belle Étape au bord de la mer
Bonne étape à Torquay, chambre avec vue mer, accès rapide au bord de mer, restaurants à proximité, parking gratuit (c'est tellement rare en GB...)
Pas de climatisation, c'est peut être le seul bémol vu la chaleur du moment

Great Service - Fab Location
Check in was quick and easy. Room was sooooo hot due to all glass fronted room which had been in direct sunlight all day with the curtains open. Asked for another room which was provided without fuss.
5 min walk (max) to beach & bars, harbour & marina about 10 mins away.

Reasonable stay. Big, clean room, a little bit of a strange smell. Staff friendly. Disappointed that it cost to use the pool, did not see this on hotel details. Also stated that breakfast was included, but was quite prescriptive - 5 options and had to choose one. Would have preferred more flexibility. Lovely views. Room quiet and dark at night.
