We had a great stay at Bosuns and would definitely recommend the cottage. The location is great for exploring Torquay. So many lovely restaurants and cafs just a stones throw from the cottage. And yet it's a quiet neighbourhood. The parking permit included in our booking was really helpful for our stay including visits to nearby towns. The owner waRead mores very proactive sending helpful info before we arrived and very friendly and helpful during our stay. Hide

Lovely, cosy and well equipped cottage located near the harbour and town shopping centre. If using public transport bus routes within a short walking distance. Great pub called The Hole in the Wall under 5 minutes walk. I would definitely book this cottage again if visiting Torquay.

Bosuns Cottage is a lovely compact cottage, very near to all the best Torquay has to offer, super restaurants, and pubs, super harbour and marina. Parking is local but not at the property, shops are very local too. There is so much to see and do in the town which is great fun, boutique shops and art studios/shops.

Marc and communication / information from original cottages was excellent throughout booking process pre holiday and during the holiday. The cottage itself was lovely , well equipped and was in a very convenient and central location. We noticed that only the obvious areas had been cleaned prior to our stay. However we also noticed certain flat areaRead mores had not been cleaned in a long while. Compared to other cottages we have stayed in the linen , towels and general decor was in need of a revamp. This did not affect our stay in any way however - just a bit of feedback! We had a super holiday - thank you Hide

The Cottage was lovely and in an amazing location to local shops, restaurants and Harbour. Everywhere you go is pretty much dog friendly including the local pub, "The Hole in the Wall" which is a great little pub.
