Another great stay at the best apartment in Torquay. Spacious rooms with spectacular views over the marina, beach and bay. The adjacent private garage is a valuable feature. Highly recommended.

A fantastic and comfortable apartment, very private with an amazing view. Not the best approach from the rear, especially from a parking perspective, although if you only have one vehicle then this is not an issue with sole use of a garage. Please note, Do NOT PARK on the double yellows as you will definitely receive a ticket. We didn’t as we didn’t contravene the regulations, but others did and paid the price. Garden area somewhat untidy and in need of renovation - not the fault of the apartment itself as it is shared amongst other accommodation. Nit picking but the kitchen area is small, and we were only given minimal toilet role, refuse sacks - just two for a whole week of 6 people - spare cleaning materials. I’ve stayed in multiple properties where, for example, surface wipes and kitchen towel have been evident. Minor detail but it’s a relatively expensive apartment which suggests better facilities. The cupboard under the sink also needs a good clean. That said, I would still recommend. The owners are lovely, very appreciate and supporting, and it seems that they may be being let down by the management company. Overall I’m so glad we stayed, obviously helped by the weather but in all honesty I don’t think I’ve felt so relaxed for some time.
