A "Grand" weekend

We had a great night away with the family at the Grand Hotel in Torquay.

The Grand is a well-managed, traditional, large hotel, right on the seafront in Torquay on the "English Riviera".

Nice lounge areas, a decent leisure centre and good food. If you book a dinner-inclusive package, you can choose from anything on the a la carte menu, which makes it particularly good value. Breakfast is a very comprehensive buffet (although they seem to have trouble producing toast, which consistently arrived only half-done!).

The rooms vary a lot, in terms of decor, location, views etc - so it's worth making sure exactly what type of room you are booking.

In summary, a very decent, good value, quality seaside hotel, ideal for a family getaway any time of year.
