“Great find in “rural” part of Torquay and yet very near the coast and town centre.”
Really nice and well presented house attached to the owner’s main house. Very private and well equipped. Our kids loved the pool!

“Loved it! Great for families and would love to go back.”
The pool was lovely and the hosts were generous in warming the spa on request. The guesthouse was spotless with modern, bright bathroom, handy kitchen with Weber bbq for outdoor dinners. Beach towels and luxury linen as well as complimentary snacks, fresh bread and cold drinks was unexpected and much appreciated.

“Not long enough .”
Location was really nice, close to Beaches and main town, but far enough out to have the bonus of a Rural surround. The host family were so warm and friendly, nothing was a problem.

“If you are looking for a cabin at a caravan park, then this place is a far better option.”
This was a fully self-contained two-bedroom unit on the owners two-acre property. The kitchen was equipped with ample necessary items and the owners supplied unexpected extras such as milk, bread, a bottle of wine, nibbles and a bar of chocolate, The bathroom had everything needed including extra towels for the pool. The unit faced a large (and very clean) swimming pool, and a heated spa, which our two grandchildren, 9 and 12, loved. There is also a large trampoline and play area, with a cubby house for the little ones. Our three-night stay was perfect, the owners should be proud of what they are offering.
