Torquay's waterfront and marina is the focus of life in the town, which is graced by the palm-lined promenade and seafront gardens. The harbour has many pavement cafés. There is an abundance of restaurants catering for every taste, including a Michelin Star restaurant.
The location of The Daylesford makes town, coast and countryside equally accessible.
A car is not a necessity as the town is within walking distance. Key routes are easily accessible from the Daylesford. We will be delighted to offer full advice to guests as to where to visit.
