“When we arrived we were thrilled at how lovely and comfortable the house was, the bedrooms are to a high standard and downstairs very cosy and comfy. We have been to Torquay many times in different accommodation, but this week has been brilliant, comfortable, and warm, everything we needed. Thank you so very much especially for the lovely touch of the flowers in the lounge. Once again thank you, we would certainly come again.” Loraine and Brian, October 2010.“Lovely property has everything we needed and all very convenient for town and harbour, the weather was great this week too.” Alan and Jenny, September 2010.“This was our first visit to Torquay and we had a lovely time. The house is in a great location and was immaculate throughout. It was good to be welcomed by Mark upon our arrival as this helped us to feel really at home straight away.
