Savour the unique microclimate of the English Riviera while staying in the beloved seaside town of Torquay, with spectacular sea views visible from almost every room. This romantic retreat offers a light and sunny atmosphere for two guests, making it ideal for quality time spent exploring Devon’s south coast with your special someone. A beautiful arc of golden sand lies just moments away at Abbey Sands beach, and you can admire sweeping views of the shoreline from the bay window in both the living room and the dreamy king-size bedroom.

Nautical artwork and soft pops of blue complement the fresh white décor and contemporary fixtures throughout this stylish single-storey property. The open-plan living space is designed for relaxation, featuring a spacious dining area set beside the impressive bay window, a modern, fully equipped kitchen, and a comfortable lounge with a quality Smart TV. A second Smart TV awaits in the bedroom next door, along with blackout blinds and a large, luxurious bed – perfect for late-night movie marathons. Completing the interior is a sleek family bathroom offering both a bath and a separate shower. Outside, the property’s shared gardens provide a peaceful spot to admire the sea views or take a convenient shortcut straight down to the beach.

The neighbouring towns of Torquay, Paignton (3 miles) and Brixham (8 miles) together form the highly sought-after region of Torbay, all waiting to be explored during your stay. Walk between them along the South West Coast Path, enjoying clifftop vistas and beautiful beaches along the way, or take a scenic boat trip across Tor Bay to Brixham Harbour. From here, explore the dramatic cliffs of Berry Head and the picturesque St Mary’s Bay (both 9 miles) before hopping back on the boat for a relaxing return to town.

Very comfortable the apartment is located overlooking the bay , you would have to be very fit as theres 175 steps up 175 down , car parking is not good. Yes we would recommend to a friend, pointing out the above comments.

The apartment was superb. Very high quality equipment and very comfortable. The view of the bay is spectacular. Only negative is the parking. You have to be sharp to get a space.

Highly recommended! Don't think twice to book this flat - the flat is even more beautiful than the photos show and it is in a great location to walk to the town and explore the area.

We had a truly lovely stay at Tides Reach over Christmas while visiting family. From the moment we arrived on Christmas Eve Eve to a beautifully decorated apartment and a generous, thoughtful welcome hamper, we felt immediately at home and were so excited for our stay. The apartment is immaculate and exceptionally well set up, with everything we neRead moreeded for a comfortable and relaxing stay. The sea views are breathtaking, and having Christmas breakfast while looking out over the water was simply magical. We wouldnt hesitate to recommend Tides Reach and very much hope to return in the future. Hide
