The Victoria Hotel. Belgrave Road. Torquay. TQ2 5HS
The Victoria hotel has en-suite accommodation for just over two hundred dancers, it offers two fabulous dance venues ideal for this number of dancers (and more), and has a top quality restaurant able to seat everyone at one sitting.


As with our more usual venue (The Derwent hotel), the Victoria is part of the TLH holiday resort. It therefore shares the abundance of leisure facilities, and is an ideal holiday resort location making it the perfect place for you to join us for a Rock Bottoms Weekend.

Hotel Facilities

We take over the Victoria Hotel, and so we get exclusive use of everything in it. This includes two superb large ballrooms, 2 separate bars, and a very sociable open plan dining room (potential for extra entertainment).
The Victoria Hotel has amazing staff, provides fantastic food, and all residents get access to all facilities in the entire hotel complex.

Dining
A friendly, informal restaurant makes for a fun and lively atmosphere at breakfast and dinner. Buffet style breakfast – continental or full English, you’ll be greeted with tea or coffee as you stagger in any time up to 9:45am. You can then help yourself to as much hot and cold breakfast as you wish.At dinner you’ll get full waiter service bringing you a fine choice of starters, main courses and desserts. In addition there’s a salad bar and hot buffet. Cheese and biscuits and coffee available to round off that perfect meal. On arrival day, you must be seated by 8:30pm to be sure of being served. Cold buffet available until 9:30pm.

The Aztec Bistro
The only meal not included in your package is your lunch. Fortunately there is a very classy bistro which tends to be buzzing with Rock Bottomers throughout the entire afternoon.
The Aztec Bistro, overlooking the Aztec Falls indoor pool, is open daily from 10.30am-11.00pm. The Bistro offers an extensive range of drinks, including teas, coffees, smoothies, frappes, soft drinks and a full range of wines, beer and spirits. There's a tempting menu where you can choose from deli sandwiches, toasties and paninis, or jacket potatoes, Bistro salads and pasta dishes, plus a selection of daily specials. The Bistro extends outside onto a patio area to make the most of those sunny afternoons. (10% discount for all at Rock Bottoms)

The Dance Venues
The Victoria Hotel has two luxurious ballrooms, which we have exclusive access to for the whole weekend. So no wandering around the hotel complex looking for a workshop - they're easy to find.
Workshops run in both venues from 10am through to 6pm each day, and freestyles take place in both venues from 8.45pm until the early hours.
For the evenings, in addition to the main ballrooms, we will most likely be having Blues late into the night in a third venue (in the same hotel). Opening times will depend on demand.

The Bedrooms
All rooms have en-suite bathrooms, TV & radio, Tea / coffee making facilities, Direct dial telephone, and plenty of space needed for all that dance clobber.
All rooms are nice, but if you want to get more space for yourselves, 3 of you could share a large family room – no supplement required here.
There are a small number of single rooms which sell very quickly. Unfortunately we are unable to offer single occupancy of doubles or twins, so please book early if you need a room to yourself.
