Guests say
Harry's Cottage in Torquay is highly praised for its fabulous location, cleanliness, and comfort. Guests appreciate the well-equipped kitchen, spacious bathroom, and comfortable beds. The secure garden is a hit with dog owners, and the property's proximity to shops and the coastline adds to its charm. While there is a mention of a less satisfactory experience, the overall sentiment is positive, with guests looking forward to returning.
Most guests found Harry's Cottage to be spotlessly clean, contributing to a pleasant stay. However, one review mentioned a dirty kitchen and shower heads, which slightly lowers the overall cleanliness score.
The location is consistently described as excellent, being local to shops, eateries, and Babbacombe's beautiful coastline. Its proximity to amenities and attractions is a highlight for guests.
Guests report that the beds are comfy and the house is comfortable overall. The presence of a well-equipped kitchen and spacious bathroom adds to the comfort level of the property.
Facilities are generally well-received, with a well-presented accommodation and thoughtful additions for children. However, one guest reported issues with the electric fire and a lack of utensils, suggesting room for improvement in maintenance and facilities.
The property is commended for thoughtful touches such as a 'Devon Cream Tea', fresh flowers, and additional treats on arrival. While these gifts are warmly received, it should be noted that such offerings are subject to change and may not be guaranteed for every stay.

We had an amazing stay at Harry's place, I couldn't recommend it enough. Location was fab, local to shops and places to eat. The house was spotlessly clean, beds were comfy. We had everything we needed for our stay to make it perfect. Already recommending it to others, honestly 10/10. Thanks so much.

A BIG Thank you to Harry’s for providing everything we needed for our stay, very comfortable well presented accommodation, within a few minutes walk to shops cafes and Babbacombe’s beautiful coastline but with the added bonus of a peaceful garden setting, dogs will love the safe secure garden.A thoughtful addition for children is the garden beach hut play house ideally kitted out for hours of fun in the sun.The first class ‘Devon Cream Tea’ and the fresh flowers made for a really lovely welcome, the Prosecco and little extra’s all very much appreciated. We look forward to returning to ‘Harry’s Haven’ to make some more happy memories….highly recommend this ‘home from home’ property.

Lovely comfortable house. Our welcome was brilliant scones, strawberries clotted cream James crisps chocolates and more thanks that touch was appreciated. The kitchen is well equipped, the bathroom is really big with bath and walk in shower. The beds were really good too, plenty of wardrobe space with loads of coat hangers. The house is within a few minutes for a parade of shops where you could get all you need the small bakery was especially good it was an old fashioned one and everything was reasonably priced. Within 5 minutes walk, through the car park of the model village and you are on the cliff top of Babbacombe where there the cliff railway is ( lovely breakfasts in it cafe) there are also lots of bigger places to eat and drink. If l had to be really picky it was sometimes very tight to get into the drive because of the way others in the road park but it’s not really a negative as we had a wonderful stay and would look at booking again
