We only visited Mount Edgcumbe House and Country Park as we used Torpoint as a one-night stop over whilst traveling from The Midlands to South Cornwall. We only had time for a little walk round the gardens but what we saw was lovely and we wished we had more time to explore.

Torpoint may not be the prettiest little town in Cornwall but it has a lot going for it. There is a really good range of small independent shops, plus a Sainsburys & petrol station. Plenty of feeding options. We were only there for a couple of days & used 'Asian Wok' & 'Hearts Kitchen', both of which impressed. There are also several pubs, (some with food), at least two chip shops, a couple more Asian options plus Pizza & Kebab. (possibly others that we missed!) We were struck by the friendly service we received throughout our visit. The ferry to Plymouth is a good service & cheap / free. We did not use the busses but they seemed frequent. They ranged through the countryside, to villages, beaches, & they go over on the ferry too. There are some great views from the town, some amazing scenery & fabulous beaches nearby.

A good community small town close enough to coastal areas. Good place to stay if visiting Family in area. Ate at Wilcove Inn. Easy town to get around. Good place to be away from Tourists. Not enough Accommodation for travelers.

Torpoint is a good place to base yourself to tour the area, and away from the bustle of Plymouth, lots to do nearby. Ferry closing at 21.30 is the only limitation, in terms of connectivity to Devon- Torpoint is in Cornwall...

We found Torpoint a nice quiet place during the mornings and evenings, but was in a position that it was easy to get to Plymouth via the passenger ferry which only took 8 mins to cross over the River Tamar and then connected with a Bus into Plymouth City Center and was next to Edgecumbe Park and House

I think it is misleading to call this Torpoint, as the place I stayed is actually Seaton, a lovely little village by the sea. The apartment was on a small complex in a lovely setting with fabulous sea views. Excellent accommodation - no phone signal but good wi-fi connection. I ate at the Smugglers Inn and the Beach House, both walking distance from the apartment and excellent food. I also tried the cafe right on the beach for coffee and a very large slice of cake. I walked along the beach to the Inn on the Shore in the next village Downderry, where coffee and free cake was on offer. There is a small shop here for basics but would recommend stopping in Liskeard for a bigger shop. I saw an Aldi and Morrisons. There is a bus service to Plymouth and Liskeard but you need to plan as they are only about every two hours. I caught the bus from Plymouth to Liskeard ( due to rail strikes) and then booked a cab with a very friendly and helpful lady at MYKabs from Liskeard to Seaton. All in all a very relaxing break and the weather was very kind for October.
