We really enjoyed our stay here. The location is excellent, with Torquay town centre, the harbour, bars and a great choice of restaurants all within easy walking distance. It made exploring the area really convenient.The accommodation itself had everything we needed for a comfortable stay and was well suited to our visit.The nearby Babbacombe and Oddicombe beaches are also well worth a visit. If heading down to Oddicombe Beach, we’d definitely recommend using the cliff railway, as the roads and footpaths down to the beach are very steep!The main downside was the parking. Although we had an allocated parking space, it was used on several occasions by other guests staying in the connected properties. This made parking more difficult than it should have been and was frustrating when returning to the accommodation. Clearer signage in the car park identifying the allocated spaces and reminding guests not to use spaces belonging to other properties would make a big difference.Overall, a great location and a comfortable stay, with the parking arrangements being the main area that could be improved. We would happily stay here again.
