  Spent a weekend in this house in Torquay. House was comfortable (beds/duvets and pillows were great), warm and clean but facilities basic. Took us a while to work out how to get TV and DVD player to work without instructions. Internet did not connect for us either. Hired bed linen which was clean but left in bag for us to put on beds ourselves. We did not spend much time in the house as we were out all day and ate out at night so kitchen was adequate for us, but if a family was staying for a week and wanted to cook then the fridge was very small. Luckily I know Torquay well as it wasn't the easiest place to find but once in car and moving it was within 2-3mins of shops, pubs, sea etc. Parking was another problem. We were advised that we should use the garage or park in front of it and certainly there was extremely limited parking otherwise. However the garage was not easily identified at 10.00pm at night and as we have a larger car (S-Max) it was very difficult to manoevre in and out of the small courtyard where the garage was. We didn't even try to get it in the garage! The view from the back of the house of the bay was lovely.

  The house is at the end of a small cul de sac with no through traffic so nice and quiet. it is well located for visiting the Agatha Christie Festival as the Museum, Imperial Hotel and Little Theatre were in walking distance were events were held. The view from the back of this property is well worth the steep climb up to it. You definitely need a car if you're not extremely fit. During the week there is a local bus every hour at the end of the street but nothing at weekends. Having a bathroom for each bedroom was very useful. There is a well equipped clean and tidy kitchen and the furniture in the sitting room was comfortable. Having a large warm conservatory at the back was a real bonus when the weather was not so good. The only downside to this was the constant drip from the water outlet pipe onto the plastic roof could be a bit annoying if under it for any length of time. I would definitely stay here again.

  Lovely little cottage, very centrally located in Torquay town centre.

  We were left a thoughtful gift of a bottle of wine, fudge and a dog toy on arrival by the owner, Joff. The cottage was clean and the white decor maximised the space and made it feel fresh. It was the perfect size as a base for our party of two adults, one teenager and our dog. I would have been slightly apprehensive about the stairs in the property if I’d been staying with a very young child, as they are fairly exposed at the top of the landing. The kitchen was well stocked with utensils and opened out onto a patio area which was nice to sit out on. If, like us, your dog will only toilet on grass, there is a park about 5 minutes from the cottage called ‘Torwood Gardens’. To find it, turn right when you come out on the road, walk past the doctors surgery and Trinity House and walk along Torwood Gardens Road. We would definitely return to this delightful property.

  The view from the garden is wonderful and the cottage is OK in itself. It could do with a couple of tweaks. They provide a tea towel in the kitchen (which had seen better days) but could do with a hand towel in there too. There is also a conifer that you have to negotiate to actually get up the step in to the house which could do with some SERIOUS pruning. Beds were comfy, TV/DVD required a PhD in Physics to get it to work but we managed eventually! The whole place just felt a little tired but was perfectly serviceable as a holiday home for a week. We have booked using Holiday Homes and Cottages several times before (and they are always lovely and helpful) and always used a different property which was the same price as this one but much higher standard (that was not available this year)

  It is a nice, little cottage in the second line, very near to the harbour.

  There are Pubs and clubs and stores...you can reach everything you need by foot. The cottage itself ist very nice and has a lot of facilities. However, a few small negative remarks need to be made: It is very small and narrow. You can just be in it with 3 adults. The skylight in the bathroom cannot be opened, so you always have a tropical climate there. Unfortunately, the cupboard was locked with the cleaning agents. Also a vacuum cleaner was not there. A glass bottle in the kitchen was broken on the floor, that was very tedious to clean. But they're just little things. The holiday home is a great address for a relaxing holiday on the English Riviera.
