    Gorgeous little place in the best location! Would highly recommend for a weekend getaway.

    The beds are within living areas of the cottage rather than separate spaces. Not an issue for us but worth noting.

    Fantastic location in a quiet area. Very clean and comfortable.

    The shower taps were a little difficult to reach with the location of the shower screen

    The location was perfect. Bindy, the host, was beautiful. Could not have been more accommodating. Very helpful and happy to assist with any suggestions and recommendations.

    It would be great if there was a better path to the cabin!

    The property was really spacious and clean - my mum and I loved the set up and it was a short drive to the main strip of Torquay. Very close to the beach - so perfect if you’re planning to come during summer or just enjoy the sound of the ocean. Bindy was very welcoming and hospitable, she was really communicative via the message feature on the app. Will definitely stay here again in the future if I come to Torquay!

    Great property, met our needs for our stay in Torquay.

    On arrival it felt a little strange entering through a side gate into a garden area, passing the owner's house to the rear building and not knowing if you were in the right place. In general it did not feel right. A hand rail on the second flight of stairs would make it feel safer when using the stairs both ways.

    The location was very convenient. The property was neat, clean and well presented. It is ideal for short stays, though we only slept there, spending most of our time visiting family or at the beach.

    The wooden doors were hard to close and so were some of the windows. Apart from that everything else was great.

    It was very private and everything you needed was there. Decorated lovely and a really comfy bed. Lovely hosts.

    Not a concern for us, but the fact you’re semi private at the back of the main house may be a choice for others.

    The cottage is 2 mins from the beach, well equipped for cooking, and set in the quiet back garden. Bindy was fabulous in resolving the internet issue. For other guests looking to work from this property, Bindy has gone out of her way within 2 days to purchase stable internet for the cottage. I got speeds of up to 220mbps download. This is fast enough to run work meetings easily - even for both my husband and I running calls at the same time.

    The place has more than what you need. Such a beautiful setting! Right from the moment you open the garden gate, you're met with a luscious garden, and a gorgeous outdoor wooden table under cover. Everything is so homey, so welcoming and just so beautifully done. It really is a2 min walk to the beach, and a gorgeous 20min stroll to amazing restaurants.

    Excellent, quiet location. A minute or so walk to the beach. Only a short drive into the town centre. Nice and quiet accommodation surrounded by well maintained gardens.

    The location - so peaceful, yet still handy for Torquay centre. The areas to relax - lovely private garden area and open upstairs deck. Clean big bathroom with bath was a treat.

    A perfect getaway with all the amenities

    A minor thing - the queen bed upstairs is positioned in the corner of the space where the ceiling is low. Easily solved by moving the bed to avoid hitting my head on the overhead beams. But the upstairs is otherwise very spacious and very comfortable to sit on the couches to read a book or watch a movie (or in front of the wood heater in winter).

    Spacious and comfortable, lots of places indoor and outdoor to relax, excellent kitchen with basic cooking supplies provided (coffee, oil, salt, sugar, etc), beach right nearby, town centre a short walk away.
