Located a short walk from Torquay's attractive harbourside, marina,
town centre and local amenities, Braddon Hall is the ideal base from which
to enjoy your Holiday or Short Break in Torquay, for a stay at a Grand Hotel in Torquay, the Braddon Hall fits the bill.
Part of "The English Riviera" and based on the stunning South Devon coastline, Torquay is one of the UK's leading holiday destinations and it's easy to see why! It's the place to relax, soak up the atmosphere, take in the scenery and experience a holiday in a classic English seaside resort.
Walk down the avenue to the park you'll find the palm-lined promenade, seafront gardens, a lively harbour and an International marina. The yacht masts and luxury sports boats lying in the marina framed in front of an illuminated bridge and the coastal footpath make for a great backdrop to enjoy an evening drink after visiting Living Coasts, Torquay's coastal zoo or enjoying a show at the Princess Theatre.
Spread along the 22 miles of English Riviera coastline are 19 beaches and coves, incorporating long, open stretches of sand with plenty of facilities, through to much more secluded and private coves, including Babbacombe Beach & Oddicombe Beach. Many beaches in Torquay hold coveted blue flag awards for their cleanliness.
