Location was fantastic with a most amazing view across Torbay. This side of Torquay was very quiet, close to millionaires road!! With Meadfoot beach very accessible and an excellent large dog walking grass area just up the road , our dog had a great time too. Meadfoot beach cafe was open in the November - great to have close by. Directions to property were very accurate. Property was exactly as described. Very spacious as we used both levels, giving us 2 cookers, 2 fridge freezers and even 2 dishwashers! It was very well equipped , as we catered mostly at home - having found an excellent fish monger nearby in stmarychurch - so we ate local catches ! Property was warm and cosy with efficient central heating. Was a very good base for exploring the area and local walks close by. Car parking was no problem on road right opposite the house. We’d love to stay here again in the future.
