Staying and Eating<\/h2>\n

After the celebrations for Helens 50th birthday, we have found ourselves in a pleasantly busy spell of trade until the end of September, and the weekends are filling up fast for October too. We do find that in the out-of-season months we can generally accommodate couples coming down for a two-three day break, with guests often taking in some of the excellent restaurants within walking distance of the Somerville . (I have my favourites and I am very happy to help you choosing your restaurant or making a reservation for you – which can be especially important at weekends.) <\/p>\n

Fishstock!<\/h2>\n

We recently spend the day at Fishstock in Brixham. it’s an annual weekend festival where the trawlermen of Brixham raise money for charities and sell a wonderful array of fresh fish. There are demonstrations on preparing fish, local crafts for sale, a good selection of bars selling local beers and ciders and lots of live music as well. In essence, it’s a proper Devon day out before the trip back on the ‘Western Lady’ ferry to Torquay. Recommended!<\/p>\n

More Entertainment<\/h2>\n

And if Fishstock isn’t enough, last weekend we discovered a delightful walk starting at the delightful Broadsands Beach before then heading up (and I mean up -it’s not for the faint hearted), following the South West coastal path for a bit before following the signs to Churston Manor. (Where you can stop for a decent pint. As regular readers will know, most of my walks involve a beer stop !!) Very enjoyable.<\/p>\n

For things to do in the heart of Torquay, we have the wonderful Elaine Page coming to the Princess Theatre on Thursday 12th October. As I write there are still tickets available, plus we are offering a one night stay in any of our suites for \u00a3100 for the event. Please contact us directly to book.<\/p>\n

We also have Priscilla Queen of the Desert arriving at the Theatre for four days, 25-28th October. We’d call it a rather amusing West End production for the open minded! Alternatively, if you are looking for a bit of rock then the Illegal Eagles are playing on 1st November. <\/p>\n

Don\u2019t forget – whenever you’d like to visit, call us directly for our best rates: 01803 294 755.<\/p>\n

Whatever you’d like to do for a break, hopefully we’ll see you soon.<\/p>\n
