We would totally recommend this property. The standard of cleanliness was exceptional and everything you could need was available in the well equipped kitchen. The garden was beautiful and with the use of sunloungers available was a bonus if we wanted a lazy stay at home day which is often lacking in other properties. We also felt that the propertyRead more was quite central to go off and explore but the property itself is in a lovely quiet area. We would definitely recommend this property and the hosts were extremely friendly and we would give this an 11 out of 10 and would love to return Hide

Lovely property in an excellent location, approximately 15 minute walk to Broadsands beach. Very short drive into Paignton, Brixham or Torquay. Great local facilities at the end of the road such as a decent sized coop and a great bakery. Also local large supermarkets just a short drive away. The house and garden are well equipped and maintained. PaRead morerking next to the house was ideal. Couldnt have asked for more from the property or location. Hide
