The Devonshire is situated in a quiet and respectable area of Torquay, close to the coastal footpath and five minutes walk from the harbour. For a budget hotel, the package is good value for money and the manager, Nigel, is always willing to cater for individual needs, such as my special diet. That is why I returned for another visit....
