We have just returned from The Tor Park at Torquay on a Shearings 5 day inclusive coach holiday. What a difference 5 months makes.! We were there in December 2012 and yes the hotel was a little tired but now what a difference! New chairs and a newly decorated entertainments area. The hotel had been refurbished. All the staff very... More

Just came back from weekend at Torpark hotel on a Shearing Weekend. This is step up from their Paignton hotel Food better and rooms are bigger. Bus stop outside to get you around, very handy. Staff wonderful, especially the girls behind the bar. Well worth the money Coach driver was brilliant giving lots of information and showing us all the... More

Was worried by all the negative remarks but my wife and I found this hotel to be perfectly acceptable for the price you pay. The food was ok except for the last night when there were far too many potatoes and not enough green vegetables and the pudding (pears and ice cream) was almost inedible, the pears being extremely hard!...

We arrived last Friday afternoon for a weekend break half board, 4 free drinks each day and an excursion to Plymouth via Dartmoor national park plus coach travel from our home town. We also enjoyed entertainment each evening, Saturday nights comedian was excellent even though we had seen him before when we stayed at another Shearings hotel in February. The... More

My husband and I and 2 friends stayed at the Hotel from the 19th - 22nd April, and found it to be very good value. Admittedly the decor in the main areas was quite dated but the staff especially Tyler and the ladies behind the bar were very efficient and friendly. We really enjoyed the entertainment each evening. The choice... More

Stayed at the Tor Park Hotel from the 8-10th April 2013 whilst me and a friend visited family in Newton Abbot. The hotel itself is fairly easy to find, the sat nav took us straight to the front door. The decor of all the main parts of the hotel is VERY dated, circa 1980 and is in desperate need of... More

I have just returned from a 5 day Shearings break at this hotel. After reading the reviews I was very worried about arriving. A lot of the reviews left for this hotel are very unfair...it is a good hotel, the staff are excellent and cannot do enough to please guests. Our waiter, Tyler, was excellent and looked after us really... More

The hotel is a typical Shearings establishment... Badly in need of a turn round. The staff try hard to please and generally succeed but oh dear, what a good lick of paint would do. For two of the four days we were there, there was no hot water. Despite chocolates and a bottle of wine, they're not a substitute for... More

I think this is the worst hotel I have ever stayed at. I can't totally slate it, though, because at the end of the day you do get what you pay for. My girlfriend and I opted for a cheap and cheerful holiday and that is what we got. The location was excellent, we loved Torquay and the whole beautiful... More
