Although the classic sitcom Fawlty Towers gave the impression that accommodation in Torquay left much to be desired, this majestic townhouse completely dispels that notion. 

Having been renovated in 2022, the design brings together boldly patterned wallpaper, a smattering of antique furnishings, some well-chosen pieces of artwork and tufted furnishings to create an interior that feels traditional but far from stale. The bright blue tiling in the bathroom is rather fetching, too

It must be said that the standout features are found in the garden, which is filled with flowers during the warmer months. As well as offering plenty of seating out on the terrace, there's also a hot tub in which you can pass summer evenings.

If the weather gods are smiling down upon you during your stay, the shingle beach at Anstey's Cove can be reached in under fifteen minutes, while Babbacombe Beach takes ten minutes more than that. The Kent Cavern caves are only eight minutes away on foot, too.


A Pocket Full of Rye

First Aid Kit

Located in one of the most desirable areas of Torquay, this elegant home is the perfect setting to experience the atmospheric charm of Devon. 

As you make your way up the grand staircase and into this apartment, you’ll want to pause and soak in the bright and warm presence. With views across the beautiful garden, there’s an uplifting and romantic tone here. And whether you’re relaxing in the tower bedroom or preparing your morning coffee in the kitchen, it’s easy to enjoy the intimacy of this space. 

Outside, it’s only a five–minute walk to the centre of the village where you’ll find local shops, cafes and a pub. From here you can walk to the Prehistoric caves at Kents Cavern and then on to the stunning Meadfoot Bay.

Devon is brimming with natural beauty and this home makes the perfect setting to explore its stunning coastline. After a day full of fresh sea air, you’ll love the feeling of coming home to relax in this stylish space. 

The Love Note

Balcony

Upon the English Riviera, staying in the warm climate of the sophisticated town of Torquay feels like the equivalent of Cannes. Hop off a yacht at Torquay Marina and take an eighteen-minute stroll to this fabulous apartment, fit for any VIP. Upon arrival, your host will have a bottle of wine waiting for you. Before you even start exploring this modern flat, pour yourself a glass and say cheers to the start of the holiday. Do you like a home with a view? Because this one offers several. From its many large windows, you can spot the bay, beaches, harbours, the marina, and of course the big blue sea itself. On a sunny day, we recommend taking a bowl of olives and a chilled prosecco out to the private balcony – pop up the parasol if it gets too hot. Indoors, pristine white and cream interiors make the space feel fresh, with a mint-green sofa which you can sink into after a long day of beachside activities. South Devon might feel distinctly Mediterranean, but you’ll certainly enjoy ending the day with a refreshing cup of Earl Grey.

Pollock Palms

There’s no doubt you’ll be dazzled by this spectacular apartment the moment you step through the front door – the views of the sea alone are enough to wow anyone. But then there’s the gorgeously decorated, luxurious interior, which makes this sea-facing pad a truly rare gem. 

Nestled in the idyllic town of Torquay, this is a dream base for a coastal getaway, especially if you’re here on a romantic holiday. Inside, you’ll find a stunning living room, with those huge windows letting in streams of natural light and offering unmatched vistas. We love the sleek, modern décor and the plush furnishings, inviting you to make yourself right at home and relax after a day of coastal exploring. 

While there’s no shortage of excellent dining options in the area, you may also opt for rustling up something delicious in the well-equipped kitchen, in which case the stylish island and stools will provide the perfect setting for a romantic supper. 

Enjoy a night of restful sleep in the plush bedroom, but not before an indulgent bubble bath in the spa-like bathroom. In the morning, you’ll wake up restored and ready for another day in sunny Devon. 

With A View Like That 

Free Parking

Two buildings make up this family-sized home on the outskirts of Torquay. It’s a fifteen-minute walk from the town centre for all the seafood and sailing you can handle. Large families or groups of friends can spread out between two living rooms, two indoor kitchens and a basement chill-out room complete with arcade games, beanbags and a huge flatscreen TV. We love the long dining table in the conservatory, crowned with twisting vines. But it’s the outdoor space that drew us in, with a hot tub on the covered terrace, curtained lounge area and a full outdoor kitchen protected from the elements.  

Seaview Glory

Once upon a time this unique building was a working mill, but it has since been lovingly restored to create a cosy holiday cottage. The traditional thatched roof and stone walls are typical of Cockington – a historic village nestled in a tranquil wooded valley. Inside, you’ll find vaulted ceilings, wooden beam and plenty of space for a small family or few friends. The terrace is ideal for an alfresco breakfast before you head out to explore – after all, Cockington Country Park is right on your doorstep. The resort town of Torquay is under a mile away, where you’ll find bustling restaurants, sandy beaches and a variety of unique seaside attractions. Everything is easy here – your host will even provide you with a parking permit for some of the local beauty spots, and a delicious complimentary Devon cream tea to indulge in.

Thatch & Stone

This chic apartment not only boasts tranquil views of the English Channel, but it’s also within 250 metres of Torquay Beach. Inside, the place is fresh and funky – we loved the pastel pink furnishings and bold accent walls. After a restful sleep in the comfortable beds, rustle up a full English in the sleek kitchen or pick up some freshly baked pastries from the coffee shop opposite your building. Soak up the warm sunshine on the terrace before slipping on your sandals and strolling along the South West Coast Path. 

When lunchtime rolls around, head into the heart of Torquay, around a ten-minute walk away, to sample the independent eateries. If you fancy swapping the seaside for the country, Dartmoor National Park is less than an hour’s drive from your building.

For a taste of the Med upon British shores, there’s no place quite like the English Riviera. One of its fabulous waterside towns is Torquay, a haven for foodies, sun worshippers, and surfers alike. Just a mile inland from its bustling marina, and around a ten-minute walk from Kents Cavern Prehistoric Caves, you’ll be delighted to call this peaceful mews home.

From the outside, the honey-coloured stonework and floral window boxes create a picture-perfect scene. Quaint and delicate, the unassuming, homely vibe continues indoors. Kick off your walking boots, or peel off your wetsuit – whatever you’ve been up to in the day, this house is the place to relax and recline.

Single-Level Home

This delightful Devonshire home perches above Torquay’s iconic Rock Walk and enjoys sweeping views across the bay. Located within beautiful Victorian building, this superb apartment features a grand living room with stunning triple aspect sash windows from which to enjoy spectacular coast and sea views as well an amply equipped kitchen and stylish master bedroom.

You’ll love flinging open the French doors in the master bedroom and listening to the sound of the sea. Whip up home-cooked classics in the monochrome kitchen and dine alfresco on the beautiful balcony or à deux around the glass-topped table in the living room, all while admiring stunning sea views. Unwind with a glass of wine or cosy up on the lounge-worthy leather sofas in the living room for movie night.

Positioned within easy reach of all that Torbay has to offer, this heavenly home is just a few minutes’ walk from Torquay’s palm tree lined seafront and vibrant promenade. Why not spend the day at the beach before sample of many seafood restaurants either overlooking the marina or the town’s harbour? Cockington Village and Country Park is just 2 miles away and can easily be reached on foot while Babbacombe Downs is just a short drive away and offers unrivalled views of Lyme Bay and on towards Weymouth.


Seaview Splendour

Private Dryer

Underfloor Heating

Nestled between Torquay Marina and Babbacombe Beach, which boasts England’s highest cliff top promenade, this charming home places you in a prime spot for exploring this part of Devon's impressive beaches, the bustling harbour and coastal walking paths. 
 
Inside, an elegant and soft yellow-hued interior welcomes you to unwind from the moment you step through the door, whether that’s reclining on the plump leather sofa with your holiday read, gathering around the sleek dining table for an intimate family meal, sharing a bottle of wine on the terrace at the golden hour, or sinking into the hot tub as night falls. The two bedrooms, meanwhile, are equally as stylish with their floral wall prints, vaulted ceilings and sumptuous throws, while wake-ups are made all the more effortless thanks to the bathroom’s pristine, glossy-tiled bathtub.
 
Slip on your swimsuit and head to Babbacombe Beach or Meadfoot (both within a short drive), or make a beeline for Anstey's Cove where you’ll find a quiet shingle beach tucked between high red cliffs and a luscious wooded hillside. If you are here to hike, the legendary South West Coast Path will take you to the vibrant centre of Torquay, where you can reward yourself with a seafood platter overlooking the Marina.

Gypsophila & Sand

Stair Gates

Everyone loves a home with a story, and this former coastguard's cottage overlooking Torbay must have many. It's been standing here on the clifftop since the 18th Century, just steps from the seven-acre nature reserve of Daddyhole Plain. Complete with the old 'coastguard hammer', once used to wake the men when needed at sea, it's been through a careful and stylish renovation lately – resulting in a stunning home in a knockout location.

Entering through the tile-floored lobby, you first come to the open-plan living and dining room. With modern, comfy furnishings, crisp white walls and a log burner, it's an absolute delight and flooded with natural light. A sleek, contemporary kitchen is perfectly practical for meals at home and you'll have a choice of outdoor spots to enjoy – a courtyard garden at the rear and a south-facing terrace at the front. Upstairs, the bedrooms are beautifully styled and some boast sea views.

Well-placed for exploring nearby Torquay and the English Riviera, it's perfect for families, and the ability to let them run loose just outside on the Plain is a god-send for those with young children. And keen walkers will love this location too – the South West Coast Path is just ahead of you.

Guardian of the Bay

Named after the beautiful blue waters that this apartment overlooks, this coastal getaway couldn’t be better placed to explore all of Torquay’s scenery and attractions. Take in the sweeping view of the sea and boat-lined harbour from the light-filled living area. 

For a leisurely approach, you can also watch the sea wake up from the master bedroom. When you've awoken from your slumber, we suggest enjoying alfresco meals overlooking the bay on the terrace. 

If you can drag yourself away for some activity, you’re perfectly located for venturing further afield. Whether it’s to the award-winning restaurants on the doorstep or the vast selection of outdoor activities, you’ll have plenty to keep you busy. 

You’ll also have access to the residence’s communal gardens, along with easy access to Rock Walk in the Royal Terrace Gardens. Back at home, the relaxing interior, with a calming nautical tone, offers the ideal spot for a bit of downtime with the family.
