Description

Picture this… a luxury mansion dating back to the Edwardian times, Wolborough House occupies an elevated position overlooking Brixham harbour and Torbay - the perfect celebration destination in this popular holiday hotspot.

Opulent Wolborough House dates back to 1910 and can accommodate 16 people in 8 bedrooms with 4 bathrooms and amazing 'fun floor' with indoor heated swimming pool, sauna, gym, bar, double walk in shower, table tennis table and a childrens’ playroom.

From its commanding position on the cliff top the grandeur of this property doesn’t stop at the front door. Step inside and enter a world of beautiful interiors - from the chandeliers, high ceilings and panelled walls to ornate marble mantles, roll top bath and soft plush furnishings. Artworks depicting the old Great Western Railway hang on the walls and add to the charm of this stunning property.

Accommodation is spacious and well proportioned with plenty of bathrooms. Bedrooms are beautiful, the master has a walk in wardrobe and lavish en-suite. A pretty balcony off the third bedroom, to the front of the property is the perfect spot for a little ‘me time’ - just hide away, relax and take in the fabulous coastal views.

This outstanding holiday home is within easy reach of Breakwater Beach beach, shops, tearooms and impressive fish market harbour front. Explore from Berry Head to Sharkham Point, a National Nature Reserve and haven for wildlife. Berry Head is also the site for the remains of an Iron Age hill fort. The former artillery house now houses a public display. Vibrant Torquay with its wide selection of restaurants, bars, shopping arcades and lively nightlife is just over a 25 minutes' drive away and picturesque Paignton with its family-friendly Zoo and fine golf courses is just under a 15 minutes' drive away. Dartmoor National Park and numerous National Trust homes & gardens to visit, are all within easy reach by car.

The Paignton, Torquay & Newton Abbot mainline train stations are very close by and the close proximity of Exeter airport makes it more or less effortless to arrive and be sure of a fabulous and ever memorable Devon stay!

Reviews

Spectacular house, beautiful views and my family had a lovely relaxing holiday.

Mrs S,

A magnificent spacious property in a brilliant location overlooking Brixham harbour. The owner/manager, Steve, could not have been more helpful.

Mr L,

Excellent house to stay in with breathtaking views! Probably the best we’ve ever stayed in. Steve the host is fantastic and went above and beyond to help us. We hope to go again one day! Thank you very much!

Mrs T,

We thoroughly enjoyed our return visit to Wolborough House and will no doubt be returning again in the future. The house is always very well presented and has a superb location. Somehow we always seem to be lucky with the weather. The house manager Steve was helpful and friendly throughout.

Mr C,

What a fantastic place to stay! From the moment we arrived, Steve was there to welcome us and show us the property. He was helpful, friendly and left us some local produce to sample and wonderful flowers. We felt confident that all Covid19 appropriate cleaning precautions had been taken. The house has everything you need for that touch of luxury; full of character and charm. From the Snooker room through to the dining room with excellent views over the breakwater and bay. Family fun time in the indoor swimming pool, table tennis and games area and further wonderful views from the bedrooms. Our family had a wonderful relaxing stay and we will definitely look to return in the future. Excellent property and throughout the week Steve was available to assist with any queries we had.
