Reviews
Interesting place to visit, but you only need two hours including looking round gardens. Gardens are well kept and have plenty of seating to stop and enjoy the scenery. The museum is well presented with lots of interactive information. pleasant staff and small gift shop. You can get food and drink here.
Torquey is hilly, let me start with that!nnTorre Abbey is rather picturesque, despite the restoration scaffolding on part of the building April 2024. The Abbey has a lot of history and some lovely paintings. They also wheelchair lifts built into the Abbey so definitely accessible to all.nnThe greenhouses are beautiful with some really pretty plants, succulents and cactus.
Just round the corner from my hotel - great for an hour or two in the middle of the day when you need a break - Food van outside do lovely food and drink service Abbey Refreshments close-by is also good for a quick snack. Being externally renovated at the moment, so there is scaffolding over part of the building - but it looks like it will be worth it in the long-run, to secure the future of the property.
We recently had our wedding ceremony at the Palm House in Torre Abbey.nOn our first visit we knew it was the perfect location for our small ceremony.nThe staff were great and made the ceremony run smoothly. A special thank you to Phil, who was so helpful throughout the planning process and also on the day.nThe Palm House is a beautiful venue and we are so pleased to have been able to get married there.
A lot more to see than I imagined. Certainly good value for adults anyway.
