Bask in the English Riviera sunshine at this South Devon holiday property after days whiled away on the beach. Sleeping six guests, the three-bedroom cottage is situated in Torquay, less than 0.5 miles from the beach at Torre Abbey Sands. It is well placed for shops, eateries and the many other attractions of the seaside town and offers superb inside and outside space for families or parties of couples. It also welcomes a dog if anyone has a four-legged friend who can’t miss out on the fun.

Enter this bright, modern cottage to find brightly furnished accommodation, with a friendly holiday appeal, across three levels. At ground-floor level, there is a WC and access to the garage. Follow the stairs down to find the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner, where you can spread out and sink back into the plump soft seating to play games or watch the Smart TV. Choose a book from the shelf or head over to the well-equipped kitchen space to start whipping up the next meal. Call everyone to join you at the table when it is ready, with the French doors to the outside space open on fine days. Climb the stairs from the hall to discover your bedrooms. These include a super-king-size, with an en-suite shower room, a double and a twin. The family bathroom is also here. Carry lunch and a bottle of chilled wine out to the gravel garden on warm days. Chat over a glass of wine out here on summer nights. There is private parking for two cars, on the driveway and in the garage.

Great location, spacious and well laid out modern property with all the facilities required for our family holiday. Although adjacent to the railway line, it is in a quiet location whilst being close to the beach, railway station and frequent bus routes.

Lovely cottage in a great location. Parking was an issue with more than one car. If parked in the drive there is no garden.
