🚐 Pre-book an airport transfer →Getting Around
Find train tickets →Exeter St Davids (via shuttle bus from airport) → Torquay Station
💡 Hop the 56 airport shuttle bus to Exeter St Davids (single £2.30) then catch the train. Buy an off-peak day return on GWR’s website—saves a third on walk-up fares. From Torquay station it’s a 10-minute uphill walk to Arran Lodge; a short taxi costs £5.
Torquay Bus Station (8-min walk from Arran Lodge) → Paignton, Brixham, or Teignmouth
💡 Buy a day rider ticket (£5.20) if you’re making more than two local trips—it’s valid on all Stagecoach buses in Torbay. Bus 12 runs along the seafront, so grab a window seat for the full coastline view.
Exeter Airport (EXT) → Arran Lodge, Torquay
💡 Book with Apple Taxis or Torquay Taxis online a day before—costs £5 less than hailing at the rank. Ask for a fixed price quote upfront.
Exeter Airport (EXT) Bus Stop → Torquay Harbour (adjacent to Arran Lodge)

💡 Walk the full loop around the harbour to see the working fish market (early mornings only). Grab a pasty from the harbour kiosk—it's cheaper than the sit-down places.
💡 Visit at low tide to walk right around to the harbour wall; the cafes at the back sell decent pasties for under £4.
💡 Bring a picnic and sit on the grass near the bandstand. Free outdoor concerts happen on Sunday afternoons in summer.
💡 Free live music at the bandstand most Sunday afternoons in summer. Grab fish and chips from a nearby takeaway and sit on the sea wall to watch the boats.
