High-quality four-star hotel for visitors in the heart of Torquay
Rob Woolcock, director at Willmott Dixon, said: “We are looking forward to creating this fantastic new four-star hotel in the heart of Torquay that will become another high-quality venue for visitors to enjoy the town and surrounding areas.
