About this property

Settled within a private development, in the heart of the charming coastal town of Torquay, in Devon, rests this contemporary semi-detached holiday home, Driftwood. Enjoying close proximity to a wealth of the English Riviera's must-see sights and attractions, including the picture-perfect harbour and the pristine sands of Torquay Beach, there's no better place to explore Devon than with a stay at Driftwood. Two sought-after off-road parking spaces greet you upon arrival, leading you through a well-kept front garden and into a hallway space, providing handy storage to store your beach-going essentials away from the main living areas. Unwind following an action-packed day of adventure and move through to the open-plan living/dining room, where you can snuggle up in front of the Smart TV as the designated chef gets to work on preparing a hearty meal in the nearby kitchen. Uncork a bottle of wine and gather together at the dining table with seating for six, or venture outdoors, fire up the barbeque, and soak in the evening sunshine in your private garden. End each day in style with a blissful soak amongst the bubbles of the hot tub, and as the skies grow darker, retreat indoors and prepare for bed with a quick rinse in the bathroom. When sleep calls, you're spoilt for choice between three well-presented bedrooms, with a king-size, a double and a bunk room to choose from, offering flexible sleeping arrangements for both adults and children sharing. The Torquay Museum rests next door to this Devon holiday home, showcasing fascinating displays relating to local history, whilst those interested in crime may prefer a visit to The Real Crime Museum, found a short distance away. Take advantage of your close proximity to the coast and spend a peaceful afternoon lounging on the pristine sands of Torquay beach, or simply watch the world go by as you relax with your favourite tipple alongside the glistening waters of the harbour. More seaside adventures await in Paignton, with its fun-filled pier, sure to keep the little ones entertained, along with the award-winning sands of Paignton Beach, and the exhilarating waterpark of Splashdown Quaywest. Animal lovers will delight with a visit to Paignton Zoo Environmental Park, settled further inland, whilst those looking to uncover the fascinating history of Devon will delight with a tour of Berry Pomeroy Castle and the National Trust 's Compton Castle. The delights of the English Riviera await with a stay at Driftwood.

  • Sean

    Facilities excellent including such comfortable beds and hottub an added bonus after a day's exploring. Proximity to shops, pubs, restaurants and other entertainment was excellent with most within 5 to 10 minutes away. Would definitely stay here again and would certainly recommend to Friends and family

    The house has a lovely hot tub which is great for relaxing in when the kids have gone to bed! The only thing that let it down for us were a few cleanliness issues; the fridge had a nasty smell and needs a good clean, in the en suite bathroom there was black mould all over the shower head. We also felt the house needed a good dust, lots of cobwebs on the upstairs windows, dust on the blinds etc. There was also a very drippy tap in the kitchen.

    Just a few points: The temperature inside the house - too hot. We had to buy a fan as air con wasn’t working. Also the door latch was broken on so my 2 year old could open the door. It’s worth mentioning that the hot tub maintenance people turn up regularly without warning. Finally a 9am check out is soooo early! Otherwise we had a wonderful stay, thank you!
