Anyone got any good recommendations for these two areas, I down there working Thursday & Friday. Which is the best of the two to stay in for choice i.e.travel to the other



Thanks Graham Mason

They're both pretty bad, Paignton has the JDW (a good one!) and Devonport Arms but most of us would struggle to find a whole nights entertainment there. On paper Torquay has more good pubs, the reality has been less impressive when we've tried it.

Recently there was a thread of alternative suggestions you can search for, I'd suggest you travel a little further and perhaps hit one of the JDW's just for a last drink.

I would tend to agree with those comments. Perhaps a better place for an evenings drinking would be Newton Abbott, just up the road, some good pubs there (see GBG) and also the Cider House!! JL
