“Loved our stay at driftwood home from home just better.”

Facilities excellent including such comfortable beds and hottub an added bonus after a day's exploring. Proximity to shops, pubs, restaurants and other entertainment was excellent with most within 5 to 10 minutes away. Would definitely stay here again and would certainly recommend to Friends and family

“Great property in a great location close to the town centre, and attractions.”

The house has a lovely hot tub which is great for relaxing in when the kids have gone to bed! The only thing that let it down for us were a few cleanliness issues; the fridge had a nasty smell and needs a good clean, in the en suite bathroom there was black mould all over the shower head. We also felt the house needed a good dust, lots of cobwebs on the upstairs windows, dust on the blinds etc. There was also a very drippy tap in the kitchen.

Listened to your comments all been resolved. Thank you. Property Owner

“We had a lovely stay.”

Just a few points: The temperature inside the house - too hot. We had to buy a fan as air con wasn’t working. Also the door latch was broken on so my 2 year old could open the door. It’s worth mentioning that the hot tub maintenance people turn up regularly without warning. Finally a 9am check out is soooo early! Otherwise we had a wonderful stay, thank you!

“The property is amazing.”

Stunningly looked after and in a perfect location. We had such fun in the hot tub after walks along the coastal path and around Torquay, Babbacombe and Paignton. Can't wait to come back

“A beautiful place in a lovely area, very clean and modern inside and beds are so comfy.”

The hot tub was bliss in the mornings along with the tassimo drinks provided. Its location is literally a 5 minute walk from the town centre which is far enough from the hustle and bustle at night. We absolutely loved it and are hoping to return in the future.

“The house was fantastic.”

Great location, central to everything and exactly as described. Great hot tub to relax in. Good parking. The only thing I would change is a second shower as we were 3 Adults and had to use the same shower. But we did know that from the description and it did not deter us from booking. 10 out of 10 from all of us.

“We have stayed at a number of Sykes properties but this has to be up there with the best!”

The house is a real gem, such a great location for the town of Torquay but also for the surrounding area as well. We walked and used buses most days, only getting in the car to venture further afield a couple of times. There is a shop close by and lots of places to eat in town, we hardly needed to use the kitchen at all! The house is very clean and in excellent condition. The beds were comfy, the bed linen and towels all pristine. We loved the style of decoration and the uncluttered air of the place. The house was plenty big enough for 4 although might feel a bit cramped for 6. The hot tub was brilliant, in a really quirky backdrop with the church right behind it. The owner was most helpful on the one occasion there was a small query re the water levels in the tub. 2 small points that could be improved - a clothes airer would come in handy for wet hot tub towels (I know there was washing line but this was quite short and went across the top of the tub so was a bit compromised). Secondly the shower arm in the ensuite bathroom would not hold the shower head up - ok for a 4ft midget but no good for my 6ft husband!! Minor problems on an otherwise great stay.

“Absolutely fantastic property, with the added bonus of a hot tub.”

“This property is clean, well maintained, has all the appliances and utensils you will need for a holiday stay.”

The jacuzzi is fantastic and situated in a secluded rear yard which gets the sun from dawn to dusk. This semi detached house is ideally situated about 10 minutes walk down hill to the town centre. The walk back could be problematic for the elderly or infirm. All in all a brilliant choice for a vacation in Torquay we would highly recommend it to all.
