Around the house
Local area guide
Marldon, Devon · For larger groups, always phone ahead — even the most group-friendly places need notice.
Eating & drinking
The Church House Inn, Marldon — The village pub, a 15th-century inn overlooking the cricket pitch, with five dining areas and an upstairs room that regularly hosts parties of 10–20. Your first booking to make.
Occombe Farm Café — Preston, a few minutes towards Paignton. Farm shop and café with countryside views, serving breakfast and lunch daily — a handy group brunch spot, and the farm itself entertains children with trails and animals to see before or after you eat.
Pier Point Bar & Restaurant — Torquay seafront, by the marina. Open all day for everything from breakfast to dinner with big bay views; roomy enough for a large table.
The Boathouse — Marine Drive, Paignton seafront. Casual bar-restaurant on the beach doing pizzas, seafood and Thai curry; relaxed enough for a big mixed group with kids in tow.
Things to do
The pool and games room at Compton Pool Farm — With a swimming pool, a games room with a pool table and table tennis, a fire pit and a big garden for a summer BBQ, there's a full day's entertainment on site for the days nobody fancies loading everyone back into the cars.
Compton Castle — A fortified medieval manor (National Trust) in the next village, five minutes away; open April–October and a lovely low-effort outing.
Dartmouth Steam Railway — Steam trains from Paignton along the coast to Kingswear, with river-boat combo tickets on the Dart. The set-piece day out that works for every generation, and worth booking ahead in the school holidays when it gets busy.
Greenway — Agatha Christie's holiday home on the Dart (National Trust), reachable by ferry, foot or the steam railway's Greenway Halt; 2026 is a big anniversary year for Christie events locally.
Paignton Zoo — 80 acres of wildlife ten minutes away, open daily; the dependable crowd-pleaser for a family reunion, and big enough that a large group can split up and regroup for lunch.
Kents Cavern — Prehistoric show caves in Torquay with guided tours — the go-to wet-weather plan for a big group, and the caves stay a steady temperature whatever it's doing outside.
Good to know
- Morrisons on Totnes Road, Paignton (TQ4 7ET, open to 10pm) is the nearest big supermarket, about five minutes from Marldon, and there are Tesco and Sainsbury's stores across Torbay.
- Paignton and Torquay both have railway stations (Great Western), and Torbay is well served by taxi firms — but for 56 people, pre-arrange minibuses.
- Torquay harbour's restaurants and bars are around 15 minutes by car for a night out.
- Compton Pool Farm has 20 parking spaces on site, which is worth knowing if your group is arriving from several different directions rather than one convoy.
- The property is split across several separate cottages — from the two-person Bow up to the ten-person Farmhouse — so multiple families can each have their own front door while still gathering together for meals and the pool.
- Dogs are welcome (charges apply) in a number of the cottages, including the Farmhouse and Rookery, so a big family group doesn't have to leave pets behind.
- Check-in at Compton Pool Farm is from 4pm and check-out 10am, with a three-night minimum stay — worth building into travel plans for anyone coming a long way for the weekend.
- Marldon sits right on the edge of the English Riviera, so Paignton, Torquay and Brixham are all genuinely close — a group can easily do a different stretch of coastline each day without a long drive.
- Restaurants, opening hours and attractions change over time — the details above were correct when researched, so it's worth double-checking anything time-critical directly with the venue before you go.
