    The apartment was in a great location, literally less than ten minutes to walk to the centre. The area was also very quiet. A huge bonus to have free private parking too. Love that the apartment was pet friendly to bring our dog too. Hosts are...

    Lovely comfy bed and comfy pillows. Great views over town due to elevated location. We could even see as far as Dartmoor. Great place to stay with our dog due to having access to the garden.

When guests book with us you can rest assured that you will be dealing with people that really care about our holiday home and our guests.
The neighbourhood was originally built in the late 1800's and consists of many large properties. Some of the residents were high ranking officers from the Royal Navy as well as the London aristocracy. Nowadays the neighbourhood is largely resided by local residents and is very quiet and secluded, yet with very easy access to the town, harbour and beach. It is one of the most sought after areas of Torquay nowadays.
