About this property
Torquay 2 miles. Fowey Cottage is a stylish bungalow within the district of Shiphay, a quiet area of Torquay just a couple of miles from the main sea front, marina, and town centre. Set on a slope with eleven steps up to the front door, and offering contemporary furnishings throughout, this modern holiday home has far-distant views over the town and feels light, bright, and cheerful. There is a sitting room with large comfy leather sofas, a well-equipped fitted kitchen and two spacious bedrooms sharing a bathroom. A particularly attractive feature of this cottage is the sunny, private patio garden, which is a real sun trap and completely enclosed, providing a private spot for catching some rays and enjoying your morning coffee or enjoying alfresco meals. There are a few local shops within a short walk, and plenty of larger supermarkets a short drive away. For tasty carvery lunches, be sure to visit The Hare & Hounds and The Willow Tree, ideal for refuelling after an adventure-filled day. The English Riviera boasts several beaches including Meadfoot Beach and Oddicombe beach in Babbacombe, which is reached by a quirky old cliff railway. Visit Kent's Cavern, an astonishing series of underground caves, or the Living Coasts Zoo with penguins and puffins, or the amazing Babbacombe Model Village. Further afield, Teignmouth is an old-fashioned seaside town about 20 minutes’ drive away, with a free kid's playground, old fashioned arcades, and a safe beach near the old harbour. A quiet cottage on a convenient bus route to the Torquay seafront, and an ideal base throughout the year.
Famous for its sandy beaches, piers, palm trees and plentiful attractions, the popular seaside town of Torquay in South Devon has been attracting visitors for the best part of 200 years. Torquay holds many delights for both families and couples, from an abundance of childrens activities whatever the weather, to coastal walks, restaurants and nightlife.

Was nice to have a couple of meals out in the garden too! The location of the house is great, with all the places we wanted to visit being within a 20 min drive. The cottage owners had kindly taken the trouble to send us a list of a few recommendations at our request, and we walked to the local Devon Dumpling pub for an excellent meal. The only changes I would recommend are perhaps a blind in the bathroom, maybe also a dishwasher in the kitchen (although that's just me being lazy!).
