| Built in 1888, The Shirley is an individually-styled Victorian villa which still retains much of its original charm, warmth and character. Well-situated, facing south it has a heated outdoor swimming pool with a sun terrace. We have a comfortable licensed barlounge and an elegant dining room for you to enjoy your freshly cooked full English breakfast. Evening meals and bar snacks are also available on request. All of our spacious bedrooms are en-suite and fully equipped with tea and coffee making facilities, bottled water, new Freeview colour TVs, FREE WiFi connection, hairdryer and branded complimentary toiletries. The Shirley is quietly located away from the traffic noises of the main road, yet is only a seven minute walk from the harbour, marina and town centre with its vast array of bars, clubs, restaurants and shops. The Shirley is also close to the Riviera International Conference Centre. Our location is ideally suited for exploring the beauty of Torbay with its miles of unspoilt coastline, 18 beaches (many of them have been awarded the Blue Flag award), secluded coves and the rugged Dartmoor National Park. Exploring the surrounding Devon countryside including the coastal towns of Dartmouth, Dawlish and Salcombe is a must with good bus and road links. Exeter is only 25 miles to the east and Plymouth 29 miles to the west. .For those of you wishing to travel to us by car, we also have a private on site car park and easy on-road parking. If the train is your preferred mode of transport then Torquay station is only just over a mile away. Whether your stay is for business or pleasure, you can be assured that our hospitality will allow you to relax, unwind and enjoy yourself. |
