We live in Bristol and use Torquay as a destination to have a relaxing short break. We used the Westbrook for the first time last year and have already stayed there 3 times since August 2011. We have always found Maureen and Mike to be very hospitable and there establishment is always very clean and tidy. They will do all they can to make your stay enjoyable and provide the little things to assist, like games, toys, puzzles & dvds in the family room to entertain your children and umberelas are left in the hallway for guest use if it is raining. If you are venturing to the beach they can provide you with buckets and spades. For couples the room sizes are adequate for your needs, and each room has a fridge for your convenience. For those looking for a romantic time away one room does have a Four Poster bed (I believe there may be a higher rate for this room). The hotel is off the main road and therefore it is quiet at night and you should not be disturbed when sleeping.
The hotel has free parking for 5 vehicles and there is limited free road parking. The hotel is idealy located for the Riviera Centre 5 mins walk and 10 mins to the Pavillion Theatre. The beach and gardens are only a 5 -10 min walk. The stroll into the shopping area if you go by the seafront and harbour is about 20mins but if you go the backstreets it is only 10 mins.
The TLH resort (Derwent Hotel) on the main road opposite has a lovely indoor swimming pool which non residents can use, they offer a DipnDine ticket £10 Adult £6 child (at time of print) where £4 and £2 goes towards the swimming and the remainder goes towards eating in there Bistro, highly recommended. Also in the summer months they have an outdoor pool which you may be able to use.
With places to visit Paignton Brixham Cockington Babicombe and Goodrington Sands only a short drive away and the bigger cities of Exeter and Plymouth within easy reach this is an ideal location to book for either a short or long stay.
So when coming to Torquay book your stay with Maureen & Mike at the Westbrook and you too will be booking repeat visits.
Oh yes the breakfasts are great and will set you up for a great day.
