Fonthill

Lovely property, had everything we needed.

Everything was ready when we arrived , we were welcomed by the owner . A chilled wine was a nice touch after a long drive. We highly recommend staying there.

Very clean, comfortable accommodation within a few minutes walking distance to Wellswood offering selection of shops and restaurants.

Our cocker spaniel enjoyed the enclosed garden. We were able to walk to Torquay harbour and town from Fonthill but quite a steep climb back.

Wonderful stay at Fonthill!

Owner couldn’t have been more helpful and the accommodation was beautifully presented. Brilliant location. Would definitely want to stay here again next time we’re in Torquay.

The house was very comfortable and we enjoyed our week spent there but there were no instruction manuals for the appliances nor information about recycling or bin days.

We had a very comfortable week in Fonthill cottage.

Owner/family members very friendly and communicated well without being intrusive. The cottage was well equipped and had quality furnishings. The garden was small but very secure for our little Cavelier spaniel to wander in unsupervised. Torquay is very hilly but it is a nice downhill 20minute walk to the Harbour. There is a regular bus service from end of the road to the town. This is by no means a criticism as we had a wonderful week but we would have liked to have seen a visitors info pack and also the main bathroom has a great jacuzzi but no shower which would have been helpful.

Great clean accomadation and a short walk down the hill to Torquey.

We loved our stay at this lovely house, location was excellent, very clean and tidy had everything needed, short walk from a lovely pub and just a stroll downhill to the harbour where there are lots of shops, bars and restaurants.

We would stay here again and highly recommend

Wonderful house with huge clean space inside.

Close to the beaches and the centre of the town. Up and down hills, but so is everywhere in Torquay! One of the very best.

beautiful and secluded, it felt like we were in a villa abroad rather than a busy suburb

Fantastic week at Fonthill.

The property is ideally located within easy walking distance of Torquay. The walk back uphill is more challenging but bus fares capped at £2.00 and very frequent make it easy to leave your car parked up. The property was clean and well equipped, the property owner was very obliging. A minor criticism would be the absence of a welcome folder containing details of local facilities and recommendations etc. but this in no way impaired our enjoyment of the week. This property would definitely be our number one choice should we be back in Torquay.

Lovely property, the owner met us when we arrived and offered to show us around the property to explain how things worked then told us we could phone if we had any problems then left us to enjoy our holiday.

Everything was very easy to use the kitchen was full and had everything we needed and the owner had even left us a pint of milk and tea bags to start us off which we were very grateful for. The house was very clean with big bedrooms and plenty of storage, the bathrooms were of a large size aswell. I felt the garden was very secure so I didn't have to worry about our dog escaping so he had a great time coming and going as he wanted. Everything was very easy from starting our holiday to leaving. The location is great, we was a 2 min walk from a bus stop to town or 5 mins from a shop. I would highly recommend this property.

The cottage was amazing.

It had everything, you needed. It was a pleasure to come back to at the end of the day. It was very dog friendly which made our stay perfect. It had all the facilities you would need and everything was all good quality. We would definitely recommend the cottage and would come back again.

A lovely house in a quiet residential area but close to amenities and bus route.

Off road secure parking always a bonus. Small but adequate garden garden furniture would be desirable for outside seating on warm summer evenings!

Lovely accommodation not far from town.

Spacious and everything you could possibly need for your stay. Good bus links to other main towns. Would definitely recommend.

The property was fabulous, so comfortable, spacious, clean with every convenience you needed.

The owners were so welcoming & helpful. Location was great with a bus stop at the end of the road so that although it was a fairly long hill back you could walk down into town then get the bus back at the end of a full day exploring the area. Property was ideally situated for lots of pretty places to visit.

Wow what an amazing Cottage.

Everything you could want and more. We took my 86 year old mum for a few days break and it was perfect! Great quiet location too. We would certainly holiday here again.

Thus house was superb Everything was spot on, couldn't fault anything Can't wait to go back Great area 15min walk to the harbour liner back as it's uphill lol first time using Sykes was an easy simple process Booked 2 more for this year Thank you

Lovely location, we enjoyed our holiday there.

The house was very spacious & warm. That said - an information pack for use of oven/cooker & microwave appliances would have been helpful. We found the mattress in the on suite room uncomfortable /lumpy. We would go back there again.

A lovely place to stay lovely and clean and well looked after.

we had a warm welcome and the owners are at the end of the phone if you have any questions would strongly recommend the hymus family and Billy the dog

The house was beautiful everything had been thought about to ensure your stay was perfect.

The position of the house was about a mile walk from Torquay which was good for us and our dog we all had good daily exercise

In a good location and we’ll appointed.

A nice quiet neighbourhood away from the huddle and bustle when you want to chill. Could not wish for much more.

The house was a lovely secure base to explore Torquay & surrounding areas.

A car was useful as the house is located at the top of a long and steep road from the town centre, however there are bus stops very close by. The house is tucked away behind the Fonthill apartments and everything leading off the driveway was very quiet and well maintained.

Lovely property, nicely situated in a quiet residential area, local shops and cafes/restaurants nearby and located within easy reach of attractions by car or bus.

Cottage well appointed. Friendly and hospitable host.

We had a fab weeks stay everything was lovely and clean, and everything that you need to enjoy your holiday.

The house is ideally located with only a 15min walk to Torquay harbour, which is great that we didn't have to drive everywhere. The garden was a sun trap and we enjoyed soaking up the sun in the afternoon. Would highly recommend the Lighthouse bar and cafe on Torquay Harbour it is on the same side as the amusement arcade, they are such a friendly bar and great with my boys, they are also dog friendly and even have treats for the dogs.
