  • A modern three-storey townhouse in an exclusive gated development
  • Occupies an elevated position overlooking Torquay Harbour and waterfront
  • Affords stunning views of the English Riviera from the balcony, lounge and master bedroom

Property code: OC-H93492

Stay in a homely two-storey seaside cottage with harbour views in the cosmopolitan Devonshire town of Torquay. Soak up the sunshine with your group of friends or family with a bottle of bubbly on the terrace while admiring the views before wandering into the vibrant centre of the town where you’ll find cocktail bars, seafood restaurants and plenty of opportunities for some retail therapy. Benefit from having a harbour, beach and numerous attractions on your doorstep.

Enter the property through the hallway with a WC, which leads to the open-plan kitchen/diner. This space is bright and airy with a good-sized kitchen to one side of the room and a dining table, sofa, and doors to the terrace with seating on the other. Upstairs is the living area, where you’ll find comfortable sofas, a gas fire, a TV and doors out to a balcony. There is also an en-suite bathroom and three bedrooms – a double with an en-suite, a twin with an en-suite and a bunk bedroom.

This property is located next to the harbour (less than 0.5 miles), where you can choose from a fabulous array of restaurants and pubs. Spend your time away exploring the attractions on your doorstep, including a theatre, bowling alley and dinosaur exhibition (within 0.5 miles). If you’re an adventure seeker, jump on a boat or jet ski from the harbour. For the history geeks, Torre Abbey (1.5 miles) is 800 years old, with 7 acres of gardens to explore. Even if you visited a new nearby beach every day for a week, you still won’t get to check them all out. The best ones around are Torquay Beach (1 mile) because of how close it is, Meadfoot (1 mile) for its surf, and Maidencombe (4.5 miles) if you want somewhere secluded.

  • 3 bedrooms – 1 double 1 bunk bed, 1 twin
  • 3 bathrooms – 1 bathroom with a bath, hand-held shower and WC, 2 en-suite shower rooms with WCs, plus 1 ground-floor WC

Very nice apartment across three floors, enough rooms/bathrooms for all of us no issues there.Nice location overlooking the harbour and no noise, short walk to a few pubs (5 mins max) and 7 mins to the harbour. All beds were comfortable and clean, bathroms also clean and tidy. Able to cook/warm up our dinners in the kitchen/dining room which was niRead morece and tidy, also had the nice harbour view. Quite enjoyed the stay at this place. Hide

A lovely property in a fabulous location! Just a short walk to the harbour and all that it offers. Plus you know your car is safe behind electric gates (particularly when its difficult to park in Torquay on busy, sunny days). The house is a home from home and has everything you could possibly need for a great holiday. The cleaning team do an amRead moreazing job getting the house ready for each occupant and we wouldnt hesitate to recommend Riviera if youre looking to relax in South Devon. Hide

This property is acceptional, the best we have stayed in. Spotlessly clean and well equipped. The views were amazing and only a short walk to the seafront. Regular bus service to local resorts and near the coastal path which is well worth walking. Andy was very helpful when the television gave up on us . Would recommend.

As a group of 4 adults and 2 teenagers Riviera had plenty of space to accommodate us all without getting in each others way. For older adults it is important to remember it is a town house but bringing your days items down in the morning will save repeated stair climbing. The property had everything we needed to cook for the family. The patio and kRead moreitchen area was ideal for family relaxing, using the first floor living room for tv and quiet reading. Two on suites the family bathroom and the cloakroom at the property entrance provided more than enough facilities to prevent any morning hold ups. Parking and the gated entrance was perfect to remove any worries in the busy area and the property was close enough to enable walking to the marina and town. All in all a great 2 weeks, perfect location for Royal Torbay Yacht Club, excellent communications in the run up to the stay and would definitely consider coming back. Hide

This was our second time at the property and it was still as lovely as we remembered it. Its meticulously clean and anti-bac hand wash is provided in each of the bathrooms (a nice touch given the current climate). The property has wonderful views across the harbour and bay and is within easy walking distance of all that Torquay has to offer. TheRead more house is located in a prestigious gated development which makes you feel very safe (and the car is too). Paignton and Brixham are within a short driving distance and Exeter is about 40 mins drive away (ideal for the serious shopper). All-in-all lots to see and do . if you can bear to tear yourself away from those fabulous views from the two balconies! Hide
