Overlooking the beautiful Torquay seafront and Torre Abbey House and Gardens, the TLH Carlton Hotel offers a central yet peaceful and comfortable retreat ideal for elderly guests seeking relaxation by the sea. Torquay, known as the “English Riviera,” boasts gentle coastal walks, charming gardens, and a mild climate, making it a perfect destination for a restful holiday.

September is a lovely time to visit Torquay, when weather is usually still pleasant and this bridge break represents excellent value for money, with buffet-style breakfasts and table d’hôte evening meals of very good quality. The hotel boasts excellent service and great facilities, including an indoor pool and spa, ensuring a comfortable and relaxing stay.

When you’re not engaging in an enjoyable bridge session, explore the picturesque Torquay harbour, nearby parks, and local shops — or simply unwind on the hotel’s terrace with stunning sea views.
