Torquay

[Caran]

We are off to the Tor Park hotel tomorrow until Monday. Fairly good reviews on trip master, has anyone on here been? No wifi in bedrooms though have to use the lounge.

Was it's original name Fawlty Towers Caran? Haha :0)
Have a great weekend x

[Caran]

I hope not Ann. Looking forward to the break. Thank you.

I've not been but, since everyone else is ignoring this thread, I'll wish you a lovely weekend.

If you don't want to use the lounge for wi-fi access there are two Wetherspoons pubs (about 150 yards apart) in the town centre (which is about a mile from the hotel), where you'll find free wi-fi.. As the Green Ginger is a Llloyds No.1 bar (which can often be rather loud and noisy, especially at weekends), you'd probably prefer The London Inn (15-16 Strand).

If you need a bus timetable for services to/from the town centre, it's here:

(Use the Newton Road Asda times for the hotel).

If you're considering travelling further afield, the rail timetable is here:

(Torre station is nearer to the hotel, about a quarter of a mile away, than Torquay station is).

Chris, you are a fount of all knowledge, so useful to have around, our own AB travel agent, brilliant! :)

[Caran]

Chris thank you so much you are a star.
I feel I could cope with Fawlty Towers after our escapade at the FT dinner at our local restaraunt.

Thank you Ann

[Ken4155]

Surely that should be "Hola" or even "Buenos Dias" and not hello:-)

[Caran]

Thank you methyl I appreciate your comments.

[Caran]

Thank you methyl, I had thought about it, but it was a long time ago!

Last time I went, the big hotel overlooking the sea did a very good Sunday lunch.

Remember to keep an eye open for the Herds of Wildebeest.

Have a great weekend.

Thanks Baldric I certainly will.
