The Duchy Hotel Group are synonymous with style and good service and our holiday is based at one of our favourites – The Belgrave Sands. Explore the underwater world in Plymouth, taste some excellent gin, visit Exeter and Dartmoor National Park, or just relax and enjoy Torquay and the wonderful hospitality of our hosts.
Day 1 After your taxi pick up, we make our way west, making suitable refreshment stops along the way. We arrive in Torquay and reach our hotel, where we are greeted with tea or coﬀee. Tonight there will be a welcome drink before dinner and entertainment.
Day 2 This morning we travel to Plymouth to discover the incredible underwater world at the National Marine Aquarium. After an expert introduction talk, you have free time to explore. In the afternoon we visit the Plymouth Gin Distillery, for an introduction to the distillation process and the botanicals which are used. There will also (of course) be a chance to taste the delicious wares.
Day 3 We drive into the wild beauty of Dartmoor National Park visiting Princetown and Buckfast Abbey. On our return we stop at Trago Mills Shopping Outlet.
Day 4 A free day to enjoy the elegant resort town of Torquay, or join your driver on a half day visit to Exeter. Either way, make sure you don’t miss the lovely cream tea available at our hotel this afternoon, along with a fun quiz.
Day 5 We depart after breakfast and stop in Salisbury with time for lunch and shopping. We then make our way to our taxis and home.
Situated close to Torquay’s seafront, the hotel boasts leisure facilities which include swimming pool, sauna and steam room. Bedrooms have TV, telephone, WiFi, hairdryer and hospitality tray. The hotel has a lift to most rooms and there is nightly entertainment.
