Orestone-Sea-View-685px

Orestone Manor Hotel is situated on the breathtaking South Devon coast, in picturesque countryside, approximately 5 miles west of Torquay. Easily reached by road and rail, yet protected from the hustle and bustle of the surrounding areas.

Enjoying an idyllic location, guests will appreciate breathtaking views over the bay and towards the Orestone Rock itself - from which the establishment derives it's name!

There are two towns very close by, Torquay, which has a very cosmopolitan feel with a range of boutiques, wine bars, bistros and restaurants to choose from. There are plenty of attractions for you to enjoy. Take a horse drawn carriage ride from the sea front to the ancient village of Cockington or visit the Living Coast where you can see aquatic life close at hand, or even play a round of golf at Torquay Golf Course just over a mile away.

Teignmouth is our other nearest town which has a great deal to offer for the visitor. It is an historic port on the mouth of the Teign estuary. It has all the attractions of a seaside town with its Victorian Pier, elegant prominade, quay and harbour. The beautiful beach and "den" area often hosts activities throughout the summer and has a newly refurbished mini golf "pitch and putt" and childrens play area.

Shaldon is also well worth a visit with its beautiful old fashioned fishermens cottages and botanical gardens. Take a visit to the rare breeds Shaldon Wildlife Zoo and secluded Smugglers beach. 

There are a host of other delightful areas to discover in and around the bay. Ask at the reception where a member of staff will be happy to help.

Being situated on the South West Coastal Path, we attract many walkers - and we can recommend three beautiful walks very closeby:
