Torquay – The Jewel of the English Riviera – has a lively harbour and marina, busy shopping centre, pubs and restaurants to suit all tastes and is surrounded by 22 miles of beautiful beaches.
The Lindum Lodge is a family-run hotel with an emphasis on comfort and service. It is also one of the few central Torquay hotels to have ample on-site car parking.
Torbay is one of the premier holiday resorts in UK and has the highest number of Blue Flag beaches in England.
Digging and paddling or swimming from the safe and gently sloping beach of Torre Abbey Sands is what beach holidays are all about. Regular ferry services cross the Bay from the Marina and are a wonderful and inexpensive way of getting to see the adjacent towns of Paignton and Brixham, as well as the picturesque port of Dartmouth.
