The property is within walking distance to the beach, local shops, and Torquay, with a generally favourable location. Some guests found the nearby roads steep and parking a bit tricky.
The property is spacious and well-appointed, contributing to guest comfort. However, there were comments about creaky furniture that could be updated.
Facilities are described as excellent and well-equipped, but there are remarks about the lack of a connected garden for dogs and the 3-piece-suite needing an update.

The property is nicely kept and well equipped. Personal touches, like cream tea and greeting on arrival, by Olwyn and Trevor made all the difference. Furniture and fittings generally excellent, but the 3-piece-suite has creaky legs and could do with an update.

A lovely property as the pictures show , welcomed by the owners who were very helpful. Location is within easy reach of the local shops and about a 10 minute walk to the beach ( maybe 15 minutes coming back!)Lots to see locally and further afield. The welcome cream tea was delicious

Just returned from a lovely stay in Red House. We were received with a warm welcome from our hosts, Olwyn and Trev. The cream tea and milk was much appreciated, after our long journey. Red House is spacious and well appointed. It’s perfectly located for exploring the surrounding area. We visited a number of National Trust properties and took the train from Torquay to Exeter, for a break from driving. The journey was spectacular!! Getting in and out of the drive was a little tedious. We preferred to park on the main road.
