We stayed here for a birthday weekend. The hosts were really attentive from the beginning and couldn't have been more helpful. The personal touches were really appreciated and we particularly liked the hand-made folder of suggestions of what to do locally with photos so we knew we were in the right places! We'd definitely book again. Thank you!

We were well taken care of from the start to the end. We loved the location having the view of the sea from the top of the hill, yet walkable down to the town centre conveniently. The recommendations to places of interest and restaurants around the area was extremely useful. We thoroughly enjoyed staying here and felt very welcomed. Thank you.

Modern, luxury, accommodation. Waterfall taps no less!!

Wonderful accommodation overlooking Torquay Harbour. Luxury is the word. Fantastic "goodies box" on arrival and Martin was full of good advice regarding the area and days out. Ideal for those, like us, wanting to explore the area, not just Torquay. Lots to do within 10 miles, some places we would not have known about without Martins knowledge. We had a lovely holiday and did have the bonus of unbroken sunshine.

The perfect location in a wonderful setting. Generous parking space, easy to get to. The accommodation is exactly as promised and more with lots of little details that make a big difference. Very comfortable and extremely clean. Quiet surrounding but a short walk to the center. Beautiful view of the sea. The hosts are not only helpful, caring and friendly but they also gave us plenty of good tips for restaurants and places to visit which we enjoyed a lot. Thank you ever so much for making our stay cozy, comfy, relaxing and memorable.

Amazing stay- Martin and Diane are cherry on top!!

We can’t thank Martin and Diane enough for letting us stay in their beautiful home over Easter weekend. They went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and had more for us than what we needed. Chilled bottle of Prosecco, variety of drinks and snacks all waiting for us in their beautiful, modern, clean eco-friendly home. Martin’s thorough knowledge of Torbay was fantastic and it meant we had many places to visit on our trip, all as fantastic as described. They also made our little boy feel so welcome and had lots of toys/dvds to keep him occupied! Massive thanks Martin and Diane, we had the most amazing break, we will definitely be back!!

No words!!

I think we as humans have a nack for picking fault but I think if you tried you couldn’t. As soon as we arrived the place looked stunning (even in the rain) and the little things that most do they did more.... above and beyond, a great wealth of knowledge of the area was given but not enough time to do everything so most definite a return on the cards.
