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 ...

    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.

Torquay holds many delights for both families and couples, from an abundance of children’s activities whatever the weather, to coastal walks, restaurants and nightlife. Local attractions await at Cockington with its historic Cockington Court and a craft centre with glassblowing, and boat trips over to Brixham or Paignton for a wealth of sea life, whilst more nature can be found at Paignton Zoo. Located nearby is the English Riviera, designated as a UNESCO Global Geopark, the Dartmouth Steam Railway and River Boats, and the River Dart.
