Torquay Hotels

[information]

Hi,

I shall be travelling from Jersey to Exeter Airport.
From there I have no transport. I would like to know of a decent hotel or Inn, within the St. Marychurch area & how to reach it via public transport from the airport.

Many thanks,
Jersey, C.I.

Take a No 56 bus to Exeter St Davids rail station. (On Sundays it's service 379 that you need). The journey takes 30 minutes. Timetable here:

From there, take a train to Torquay. Some services are direct, others require a change at Newton Abbot. Journey times are between 35 and 45 minutes. (If the train calls at Torre, a couple of minutes before Torquay, you could get off there as the distance to St Marychurch is much the same but you'd find it much easier to get a taxi, if necessary, from Torquay).

For alternative travel options (e.g. by bus alone) use the route planner here:
