We think so! You may have guessed it, but we are of course going to be a bit biased on this topic, although we certainly feel that it’s justified. Here at TLH Leisure Resort, we have 4 hotels that share a 7 acre site (close to the sea) and are all linked with unrivalled leisure facilities, when compared to other Torquay hotels.

We are a 4 star holiday village as recognised by www.visitEngland.com offering a whole host of leisure facilities that we receive fantastic feedback for. If you haven’t stayed with us previously, read on to see what we have to offer. If you have stayed with us, this will serve as a reminder of why you’ll want to come back soon.

4 hotels on one site, sharing unrivalled facilities in Torquay

TLH Leisure Resort has four 3 star hotels, all with their own individual personalities and styles:

TLH Derwent  Hotel –  Here you’ll be at the heart of our entertainment as this hotel is home to the Starlight Lounge, our premier entertainment venue. The largest of the 4 hotels, the TLH Derwent Hotel has a contemporary restaurant, serving a seasonal menu all year round, whether it’s a full English breakfast or our table d’hote evening meals. All our food is prepared onsite by our talented chefs and catering staff.

TLH Victoria Hotel – Steeped in history, you’ll love the Victorian features including the great glass dome in the beautiful period restaurant. Home to two of our best and biggest ballrooms, this hotel is popular with dancers, who frequently visit on hosted dance breaks and events. Spacious en-suite rooms, many of which offering panoramic views of Torbay, will not disappoint, nor will the attentive staff at the hotel.

TLH Carlton Hotel – The smallest of our four hotels, the TLH Carlton does not lack when it comes to friendly staff and fantastic service. Closely linked to our Aztec Spa, this hotel is popular with couples, wanting a more intimate hotel experience. The most elevated of all our hotels, the Riviera Front Facing rooms offer superb views, across the bay as well as quick and easy access into Torquay town via Falkland Road and Lucia Street.

TLH Toorak Hotel – Last but by no means least, our TLH Toorak hotel boasts spacious terrace rooms, award winning gardens and stylish restaurant. With a quieter atmosphere, it’s popular with those who wish to have a more relaxing break in Torquay. The TLH Toorak is also the closest hotel to Torre Abbey Historical House and Gardens, as well as being the quickest route to the beach (Only a few hundred yards away).
