The wheel loft is a fantastic place to stay !We were in awe of the quality of this place. It was really comfortable, beautiful fixtures and fittings . Brian and Louise should be so proud of what they have achieved there.Every little thing you might need is included. The area is perfect for visiting the lovely towns and villages all within an hour from here . Or just relax and soak up the peacefulness of the place . And of course you have to have a few goes in the perfect hot tub to round off the day . We will certainly be back !!

What a beautiful holiday home, the Wheel Loft exceeded our expectations, everything we needed plus more, Brian and Lou the hosts were lovely and informative, we had a lovely stay here and we are definitely coming back, so close to Torquay, Brixham, Totnes and Paignton it was the perfect location, so peaceful and yet not far from the amenities, the hot tub was a bonus, it was extremely hot because of the heatwave but Brian kindly lowered the temperature of the tub so it was cool and perfect for cooling off 😊 Highly recommend we didn't want to leave 😀 Sue and Andy from Kent
