When we arrived we were thrilled at how lovely and comfortable the house was, the bedrooms are to a high standard and downstairs very cosy and comfy. We have been to Torquay many times in different accommodation, but this week has been brilliant, comfortable, and warm, everything we needed. Thank you so very much especially for the lovely touch of the flowers in the lounge. Once again thank you, we would certainly come again.

This was our first visit to Torquay and we had a lovely time. The house is in a great location and was immaculate throughout. It was good to be welcomed by Mark upon our arrival as this helped us to feel really at home straight away. Unfortunately the weather wasn’t great during our stay but the house proved to be a cosy place to shelter from the rain. Thanks again for a great stay.
