TORBAY – that’s the place to be! The towns of Torquay, Paignton, Brixham and Babbacombe Bay, clustered around the blue Tor Bay make up the ENGLISH RIVIERA and each town has its own special character. The English Riviera is the year round premier holiday destination in South Devon for all ages, with something for everyone.

Tailor your holiday to your requirements and needs by going self catering. Self Catering gives you an independence that other holiday accommodation cannot achieve, and Torbay is a perfect base for just relaxing and savouring the wide variety of restaurants, cafés and takeaways available. You aren’t tied to meal times and can eat ‘at home’ or try a different cuisine every night in one of Torbay’s many restaurants.

If you book accommodation with members of the Torbay Self Catering Association you can be sure you are staying in an apartment that has been quality inspected. And you will receive a leaflet from your TSCA host that will give you special discounts at restaurants, attractions, theatres and on boat trips.

Come by plane to Exeter (Flybe) or Plymouth Airports Air South West) from many UK or International cities and let the plane take the strain. Hire a car and pick it up from the airport so you can explore while you’re here, or let your accommodation provider help to arrange an airport transfer.

With a bus service every few minutes you can leave the car and from the upstairs have a view not available to drivers. Just stroll along the sea front, or, if you are feeling more energetic, walk a section of the South West Coastal Path or bring or hire a bike and bowl along Devon country lanes or go scuba diving or sailing or take a boat trip across the bay or round the coast.

Whichever of our accommodation providers you stay with, you’ll be sure of a warm welcome. Come to South Devon and fall in love with the English Riviera. Once you’ve been we’re sure you’ll want to come back.
