Bosuns Cottage in Torquay is highly praised for its excellent location, character, and nautical theme. Guests appreciate its proximity to the marina, shops, and nightlife, as well as the thoughtful touches like milk and biscuits. While some minor issues were mentioned, the overall sentiment is positive with many guests looking forward to returning.

Guests that stayed at this property said

Most guests found Bosuns Cottage to be clean and well-maintained, with only a few mentioning issues with dust and cleanliness behind doors and radiators. The quick resolution of these minor points and the overall high standards reported contribute to a high cleanliness score.

The cottage's location is consistently lauded for being central, quiet, and within walking distance to the harbour, seafront, shops, and restaurants. Its convenience for exploring Torquay and the surrounding areas is a highlight for many guests.

While the majority of guests found the cottage comfortable and the beds cosy, some noted that the armchairs and mattresses could be improved. However, the overall comfort of the cottage is well-regarded, with many guests enjoying their stay.

The cottage is equipped with essentials and guests appreciate the Wi-Fi and parking permit. Some guests mentioned the lack of an iron/board and mirrors, and steep stairs could be a concern for some. The presence of a full-length mirror and the resolution of minor issues indicate good maintenance.

Guests frequently mention the thoughtful extras such as milk, biscuits, and bathroom essentials. These gestures contribute to a welcoming atmosphere, although it is noted that such gifts, while appreciated, may vary and are not guaranteed with every stay.

  • Ms Williams

    Lovely, cosy and well equipped cottage located near the harbour and town shopping centre. If using public transport bus routes within a short walking distance. Great pub called The Hole in the Wall under 5 minutes walk. I would definitely book this cottage again if visiting Torquay.
