picturesque gardens. A circular cruise

Headland Hotel, Torquay
HHH
The quintessential English Riviera has
miles of breathtaking coastlines,
picturesque villages, palm trees, piers,
dramatic cliffs, and its own mild
microclimate, making it one of the
best places to visit in the UK. We
begin by boarding a Dartmouth Steam
Railway train in Paignton for a 30minute journey to Kingswear, which
offers breathtaking views of the
coastline along the way. We take the
foot passenger ferry across the River
Dart to Dartmouth, where we join a
one-hour circular river cruise. Visit
Buckfast Abbey, perched in the
shadow of Dartmoor and surrounded
by a beautiful, wooded valley and the
River Dart, with a quick visit to the
fishing town of Brixham, before a
return ferry to Torquay admiring the
panoramic views of the English
Riviera.
This beautiful 3-star family-run seaside hotel,
formerly the Russian Royal Family9s home in
Torquay, sits majestically looking out to sea. The
hotel has 2 acres of grounds overlooking Meadfoot
Beach, with a newly built Gallery Lounge and seaview terrace. The spacious and elegant Romanoff
Restaurant has been awarded with an AA Rosette.
All bedrooms include TV, tea/coffee facilities and
hairdryer. The hotel has a lift.
