“This property is very welcoming and boasts great views of Torquay harbour.”
There is great natural light into the property also. We were impressed with the excellent facilities including the well equipped lounge, dining room and fully equipped kitchen all with the views of Torquay harbour.

There is great natural light into the property also. We were impressed with the excellent facilities including the well equipped lounge, dining room and fully equipped kitchen all with the views of Torquay harbour. The two en-suite double rooms had a luxury feel to them. The games room was a great addition as were the smart TVs. The sun deck and hot tub were lovely, and the outside spaces were great for a small explore. We fitted two vehicles on the driveway (just) which was handy. It’s a short but steep walk down into the harbour. A taxi back up the hill was an option for some. Communication from Sykes and owners was very good before and during our stay. A few things need work including the welcome information/folder, the double bedroom, twin room, bathroom and toilet in the corridor and a few little things like the curtain rails and bannisters which need a bit of TLC. This gives the impression of a work in progress feel to the property, rather than fully finished. We were a party of six adults and one child staying for four nights during Easter holidays 2025.
