Now This Is The English Riviera At Its Very Best!

One of the great things about the English Riviera is the almost endless offering of simply wonderful guest houses. There are those that question the guest house culture but I am not one of them! The energy and enthusiasm of guest house owners is boundless and once you’ve tasted a real English breakfast there is no going back.


One guest house that really knows how to offer the very best is the Villa Marina in Torquay. That’s not just my opinion because they have just been voted Guest House of the Year by Les Routiers!

Les Routiers say “Competition has been fierce this year but the judges believe that the winners of this year’s awards have consistently demonstrated exceptional service, hospitality and quality of food throughout the year.

Les Routiers UK & Ireland said, “This year has been so competitive! We’ve has such good feedback from the many fans of our nominees, together with outstanding performance by all, that is has made the judging process this year one of the toughest we’ve ever encountered.”

Recognised by Les Routiers, the industry and their customers for being the ‘best in their class’, we extend our warmest congratulations to all of our worthy winners!”

Owners Peter and Vivien Fisher have already collected a number of awards this year and featured in the South Devon College Business Innovation videos showing the beauty of this superb guest house. They really value every guest and even sent out the most amazing Christmas card complete with a recipe for a fig pudding that had one visitor phoning to say that it made him feel very special.

Now that has to be something to smile about!
