3 Welcome let us look after you. The Palace is a luxurious haven of calm and outstanding service at the heart of the English Riviera. Comfortable rooms; fabulous gardens; unrivalled leisure facilities and personalised service make this a very special destination. The location is truly enviable. Tucked away in a quiet wooded valley and surrounded by splendid coastline, the privately-owned hotel still echoes many of the attributes that once made it home to the Bishop of Exeter. Torquay has something to suit everyone. The renowned town centre and vibrant harbour are just a stone s throw away, unspoilt beaches provide a yearround delight and the temperate climate is a welcome companion at any time of the year.

4 elegant indulgence

5 Restaurant Evenings spent at the Palace are a delicious combination of elegant indulgence, good company and a real sense of occasion. Crisp white linen tablecloths and napkins together with polished silver set the scene for a sophisticated and memorable dinner. Using ingredients from the South Hams and the fishing port of Brixham, the daily changing menus resonate with freshness. Locally caught sea bass, lemon sole, scallops and lobster feature alongside fresh meat, game, fruit and vegetables. For those who can indulge, the sweet trolley is amazing. Devonshire clotted or double cream is an optional extra!

6 room to relax

7 The Lounges Rarely does a hotel have so many bright and spacious lounges with space to relax, read the paper, while away the day or enjoy a traditional cream tea. The Georgian architecture immediately draws the eye with high ceilings, plush fabrics and impressive fireplaces. Smartly uniformed waiters ensure guests want for nothing. Large French doors open out onto a lovely terrace with superb views over the attractive Italian gardens - the perfect suntrap for long, lazy summer days.

9 The Rooms There is a wide variety of accommodation available including luxuriously appointed suites and executive rooms. Many have wonderful views over the gardens.

10 an oasis of calm and tranquillity

11 The Grounds The Palace is a place for all seasons. As Spring sweeps in on a white tide of magnolia blossom, the twenty-five acres of private grounds begin to erupt into colour. Summer days spent around the heated outdoor pool, or in a friendly battle on the 9-hole golf course, are hard to beat. The Italian rose garden, long cool drinks on the sun-soaked terrace and gentle walks down to nearby Anstey s Cove all contribute to the oasis of calm and tranquillity.

12 Leisure There is plenty on-site to occupy even the most active. The 25 acres boast a 9-hole, par 3, short championship golf course; putting green; heated swimming pool; croquet lawn and four all weather tennis courts. The grounds themselves provide the perfect backdrop for a pleasant, invigorating walk. Indoors, guests are invited to make full use of the snooker room, saunas, fitness suite, heated swimming pool, squash and tennis courts. Tuition from our own on-site LTA qualified coach can be booked with a little prior notice.

13 something for everyone

14 The Area Torquay has, since Victorian times, been a very popular holiday destination. An enviable microclimate influenced by the Gulf Stream encourages tropical plants to flourish and gives this special part of the English Riviera a very distinctive, continental feel. The busy harbourside boasts a wealth of holiday attractions from pavement cafes and buzzing restaurants to the renowned theatre, promenade, pier and glorious gardens. There are no fewer than nineteen beaches and coves to explore. Dartmoor is within easy reach as is the lush South Devon countryside, whilst picturesque towns like Sidmouth and Dartmouth provide lovely days out.
