Ferndale Lodge  

Set in Torquay on the English Riviera, Ferndale Lodge sits about 1 km from the town centre and a short walk from shops, restaurants, the harbour and beaches. Minutes from the Riviera International Conference Centre, Torre Abbey and the Princess Theatre, this 4-star guest house is a family-friendly base for both leisure and events.

Housed in a detached Victorian villa with its own grounds, Ferndale Lodge keeps things small and quiet with just nine rooms. Expect a cozy lounge with an open fire, a south-facing terrace, a licensed bar and a mix of room styles that include en-suite options and a show-stopping four-poster for special stays.

Free on-site parking and complimentary high-speed Wi‑Fi in rooms and public areas. Guests can relax in the bar/lounge, unwind on the terrace or enjoy garden views from select rooms. Family-friendly perks include a kids’ playroom, access to nearby aquapark/diving club activities and bike rental for exploring the bay.

High-speed internet throughout and easy walking distance to the Riviera International Conference Centre make this a practical pick for meetings and events. Free private parking is handy for business travelers arriving by car.

Fuel up with a complimentary English breakfast each morning, plus continental and American options. The on-site restaurant and bar serve local flavours and drinks, and packed lunches are available on request for day trips.
