Situated in Torquay, the heart of the English Riviera, this family-run Bancourt Hotel provides the perfect base from which to explore the surrounding Devonshire coast and countryside.
The Bancourt Bancourt Hotel aims to offer an oasis of calm and tranquility, a place to escape from the pressures of life and relax in clear sunlight and the gentle sea breeze. This wonderful ambience is complemented by the on-site facilities, including an indoor heated swimming pool, large private garden, well-equipped function room, bar and dance floor.
With ample free off-road parking, friendly and dedicated staff and regular live entertainment, the Bancourt is the perfect place to enjoy all that the English Riviera has to offer.
Hotel information
The heated indoor pool offers relaxation after your excursions or a hard day's shopping in the town centre. It is approximately one metre deep, so doesn’t require you to be an Olympic swimmer to stay afloat. Early birds can swim from 07:00 through to 19:00.
Unfortunately, due to the age of the hotel, not all the rooms in the Bancourt Hotel are accessible by wheelchair (yet!), but there are ramps to the restaurant and a lift from the front entrance to reception and the first floor. Once in reception, you have easy access to the Cabaret Bar, which has disabled toilet facilities, and the pool area – please note that there are no hoist facilities or a ramp into the pool itself. Parts of the garden are accessible by wheelchair.
If you have any mobility problems, it would be helpful if you inform the Bancourt Hotel at the time of booking before rooms are allocated.
For business events, the Bancourt Hotel provides a high-quality large-screen projector, (free for use), Wi-Fi internet and a PA system. The Bancourt Hotel can also tailor-make a conferencing package for you, including accommodation and hospitality service.
The main function room can accommodate up to 150 people, whilst downstairs there is a large pub-style function room, complete with stage, bar and dance floor, that can hold 120 people.
Room information
All of the hotel’s 52 comfortable rooms are well-equipped with all the modern comforts and facilities you need in a restful, relaxing base. Whether you are exploring the region as a tourist, visiting the area on business or attending a conference, these peaceful rooms provide a relaxing haven.
