This little house is well appointed and kitted out. The parking in front of the garage is virtually impossible to get in and out of in all but a very small car. We got in (just) when we arrived but afterwards parked on the road at the back of the house just below the garden. This worked out fine. The area is very quiet residential which we liked. TRead morehe walk into Torquay centre is challenging if you do not do steep roads. It would have been nice to have a visitors book as we always look at that for recommendations from previous guests as to where they have gone to eat etc whilst staying at a property. Hide

Beautiful views across the bay. Parking in estate garage block was okay. Cottage was comfortable, and it was useful to have a bus stop close so we could use the public transport.
