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 (available June until September) with a sun terrace. We have a comfortable, well stocked licensed barlounge serving a number of locally produced beers, branded spirits and quality wines from around the World, plus an elegant dining room for you to enjoy your freshly cooked full English or Continental breakfast. All of our bedrooms are en-suite and fully equipped with tea and coffee making facilities, bottled water, Freeview colour TVs, FREE Wi-Fi connection, hairdryer and branded complimentary toiletries. Natural local spring water is also available on each of our landings and in the dining room. '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.
