House was great, well appointed, had everything you needed, could have styed longer, our dog loved the backyard as much as we did especially when the sun was out. Will definately book this again.
Stayed 3 nights with fam and pooch. Simple but clean and cosy. Loved the fireplace on cool nights. Nice backyard space. Only downside was double bed in main bedroom a little on small side for us, we do have a king at home! Great location, close to beach and restaurants/ pub. Highly recommend!
My adult daughter and I were looking for a little beach getaway. This house was withing walking distance to the beach and takeaway shops. Torquay was just down the road. We enjoyed plenty of walks, fresh air and good coffee with my little dog, Josie.
A Great proprety to stay in with our family, it had everything we needed for a fun week3nd. We walked to the local pizza restraunt for dinner (Which had delicious food).
So close and easy to the beach, the coastal walks and a great coffee shop.
We had a wonderful time at this property in winter. We were toasty warm and made use of the heaters and fireplace. The house was perfectly clean, beds were comfy and suitable for our young family. The location is awesome- walking distance to the shops and beach. Property management were also really helpful. We would love to stay here again.
We had the perfect stay when I recently travelled down for work. The house was really well located, immaculate, and very well appointed with great amenities, furnishings and appliances. Really appreciated the coffee machine, fire place, extra blankets, kids games and activities, and the beautiful hot shower. Thanks so much for being so accommodating with a late checkout too! It was so appreciated. The perfect cosy, clean and modern house for a small group while exploring this beautiful region!
