Racing breaks at the Toorak Hotel…. a run away winner!
Written by Nigel Beck on 19th May 2010Picture the scene – thoroughbred race horses in full flight, thundering around a course set in the rolling Devon countryside. Then combine this with a couple of nights stay in a 3 star hotel to make the perfect racing break.
The Toorak hotel in Torquay has just held its Spring racing break. National hunt racing fans arrived for a 3 night package that included a tipster briefing on the first evening and a fun racing quiz to test their racing knowledge, plus an evening visit to Newton Abbot race course followed by Exeter Races at Haldon for their season finale.
Transport and tickets are provided as part of these breaks, which is great because you can enjoy a drink to celebrate your winnings!! You even get a complimentary copy of the Racing Post to help you make your selections.
On the recent break a Mrs Taylor won the tipster competion and enjoyed a bottle of bubbly for picking the most winners. As always there was plenty of friendly rivalry and banter between the group, who obviously enjoyed their racing holiday and had a lot of fun too.
The Toorak Hotel at is ideally located to get to 3 local racecourses – Newton Abbot, Taunton and Exeter – and back at the hotel guests can enjoy all the facilities of TLH Leisure Resort on offer and of course the stuning beauty of South Devon, whatever the season. Perfect for non-race loving partners too.
Don’t miss our next racing holiday in Devon which is a 3 night package arriving on 20th August and will include 2 days racing at Newton Abbot racecourse for their Summer Jump Festival. for further details and bookings you can call 01803 400500.
