Amazing property, it has plenty to entertain the whole family. Our group ranged from 3 months to 61 years and each one of us had favourite things about the property; sitting in the window watching the harbour, walking down to the beach, swimming in the pool and the sea, going for a run up to Berry Head. So many things to do we didn't have time to dRead moreo them all, we'll just have to come back again. Hide

A beautiful house, with excellent facilities in a prime location, combined with the best weather, who needs to go abroad for a holiday. Everything that we needed was in easy walking distance, no need to use the car. Whether you choose to eat in or out there is plenty of choice, including the Rockfish restaurant, serving fresh sea dishes or with excRead moreellent cooking facilties at the house, the choice to eat in is an option. There are many places to explore on foot such as Berry Head or along the coastal path. The ferry to Torquay was within easy walking distance plus there were boat trips available to book on Brixham quayside. With a pebble beach across the road and Shoalstone seawater pool a short walk, there was everything for the whole family. Our host Steve deserves a special mention for his help and knowledge during our stay. Nothing was too much trouble for him and he was always there for us. Our holiday at this property would be hard to beat and the whole family enjoyed it. We hope to return next year. Very highly recommended. Hide
