With warm and cosy interiors alongside elegant styling and finishing touches throughout the home, enjoy a comfortable stay, where mastering the art of relaxation comes with ease.

This fantastic Victorian villa in the English Riviera is the perfect home for family holidays. Located in Paignton, this home is only a short walk from many great activities including Paignton Beach – a nineteen-minute walk away – where you will find the pier, the Geopark, a fairy cove, pirates bay adventure golf, and even a multiplex cinema perfect for those typical rainy British days. What’s more, Splashdown water park is a short nine-minute walk away and Torbay Leisure Centre – with its pool, gym and squash courts – is reachable in twelve minutes on foot.

Your little ones will love letting off steam in the home’s large, enclosed garden too, with the kid's swing, trampoline, treehouse, football goal and pirate boat. Meanwhile, you can relax on the garden bench with a good book or enjoy an afternoon Devonshire cream tea alfresco at the outdoor dining area. 

When it’s time to come indoors, head from the decked veranda through the French doors into the living space. Curl up on the sofa to watch a family film and even make it cosier with the wood-burning stove, which can be lit for additional warmth or roasting marshmallows. Your little ones hopefully won’t object to bedtime with the twin rooms one of which is Star Wars-themed and the other which features a dollhouse mounted on the wall and a whimsical fairy wall hanging to decorate. We can’t promise they’ll want to stop playing and go to sleep though.

This is a barn conversion in which the standard of the renovation has been of such quality that it's nigh-on impossible to picture its functional past. Set in twenty-six acres of Devon countryside, the building has been given some hi-tech features, including a ground-source heating system and an intelligent lighting system, as well as a lot of large glass windows that make the space a lot brighter than could be expected of an old barn. Our favourite space has to be the mezzanine lounge, reached via a glass spiral staircase and with a skylight on one side that's perfect for stargazing. The large kitchen looks the picture of modernity, but there's an Aga in place for a touch of rusticness. Stepping outside, there's a large patio area complete with an alfresco dining table, barbecue and fire pit, so you can sit out here on summer evenings and bask in the spectacular view of Longcombe Valley. The medieval town of Totnes can be reached in seven minutes in the car and offers plenty of quaint shops and restaurants to explore. Paignton Beach is a seventeen-minute drive away, too.

Watercress Soup

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.

Tucked away in the countryside yet just ten minutes from Maidencombe beach, this home offers up the best of both worlds. With three bedrooms, one of which is perfect for children with its bunk bed setup, this home is ideal for families – and your four-legged friend can join in on the fun, too. The wi-fi can be patchy here because of the rural location, but with a hot tub to occupy your time and the coast on your doorstep, surfing the web is likely to be the last thing on your mind. 

Coastal Serenity

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.

A collection of character homes, rented together, and set on an historic Devonshire farm – this place is a dream come true. At its heart there's the manor house. An imposing place, built from local stone some 200 years ago, it's set over three floors and is the star of the show. On arrival here you can bag yourself one of the plush, en-suite bedrooms, before gathering for drinks in the formal entertaining space downstairs (there's a dining table with places for eighteen). Elsewhere, the barns have been converted, creating six one-bed cottages and suites around a shared courtyard. If you're planning a big celebration, you can also rent the enormous glass-roofed barn nearby, with its event kitchen. Around the estate you'll find all the things you'd hope for in a farm. Meet the farm animals, explore the pond and even – if the good old British weather is on your side – grab your towel for a swim in the outdoor pool.

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

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. 

Ambient Works

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

Settle into this charming cottage in South Devon, one of five luxury stone cottages nestled in the rural landscape on the outskirts of the English Riviera. If you're looking for somewhere to recharge your battery from the everyday hustle and bustle of modern life, you've come to the right place. Enjoy your morning coffee in the outdoor seating area in the fresh area as you plan how to fill your day, or gather in the open-plan living area in the evening for a board game night or a movie on the TV, or curl up on the couch and enjoy a good book from the provided collection on the shelf. When it comes to enjoying some good food, who up something to delight everyone in the well-equipped kitchen, just as cosy as the rest of the home, or head out into Marldon or Paignton where you can find some wonderful restaurants and discover your new favourite dish.

Thanks to the location of this home, you'll be in close proximity to all the necessities you might need during your stay. Just a short drive away you'll reach Paignton, where you'll be able to enjoy a plethora of amenities including a gorgeous beach where you can stroll along the coast, or get some sunbathing in while the kids play in the sand. You'll also be within easy reach of Dartmoor National Park – this home lends itself perfectly to exploring the surrounding area.

Sunflowers & Posies

Situated in the quaint village of Marldon, this cosy cottage guarantees rest and relaxation after busy days spent exploring the English Riviera. The interiors are inviting, with ceiling beams adding a touch of rustic charm and tartan armchairs in the living space providing homespun comfort. Spend mornings pottering around the kitchen, rustling up a full English breakfast, followed by mugs of tea on the patio in the warm sunshine. 

When you’re ready to explore, the seaside town of Paignton is a fifteen-minute drive from your building. Stroll along the promenade, with an ice cream in hand, before finding a spot on the beach to watch the waves roll in. If you’d prefer to head inland, Dartmoor National Park is less than an hour away by car. Return home in the early evening for an alfresco glass of wine and an early night in the sumptuous four-poster bed.

Watch Flowers Bloom

Sitting just a short walk from Torquay Beach, this apartment boasts a stellar location. Though the interiors are fairly simple and it might feel a little cramped with four guests, it’s perfectly practical for a coastal stay. After a day strolling along the promenade or soaking up the sun on the beach, you’ll enjoy unwinding in the cosy living room with a glass of wine – though keep in mind the sofa bed will accommodate your third and fourth guests. From here, you’ll be able to enjoy the Torquay Seafront, seafood restaurants and watersports on offer, while boat trips can be taken from Torquay Harbour.

Torquay Tranquillity

Playstation

Private Washing Machine

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

Video Intercom

This 16th-century townhouse is right on the historic High Street of Totnes, an easy walk from independent boutiques, cafes, bakeries and restaurants. Both moor and coastline are within a few miles, with Dartmoor National Park only a twelve-minute drive away and the golden stretches of Broadsands Beach just a twenty-minute drive. Back at home, you’ll find a thoughtfully designed home whose historic ceilings and original features are complemented by contemporary furnishings. Unwind in the elegant sitting room under the stately chandelier and enjoy afternoon tea. The kitchen is well-equipped for home-cooked meals, and we especially love the oval dining table with a view of the street for entertaining. At the end of the day, you’ll find the bedrooms share the same elegant atmosphere and eye to comfort. Settle in for a night of dreamy, restorative sleep.

The Merchant's Prize

It’s all about the seafront location here – just moments from the sands of Torquay Beach this minimal apartment provides an ocean view from your private balcony. There’s a simple but well-equipped kitchen here, though with a promenade and seafood restaurants at your fingertips, you can make the most of the waterfront dining. Keep in mind there are some stairs to climb here, and the second bedroom lacks some natural light, but it’s perfectly comfortable for a coastal stay.

Breezy Bay Retreat

Foosball / Table Football

Ping Pong Table

What's better than a cedar hot tub with a sweeping view of the Totnes countryside and the River Dart? In the case of this colossal former barn, the answer is two of them. This isn't the only thing that the home doubles up on, as there are also two Webber coal barbecues on the patio for grilling up smoky flavours, which lucky guests will be able to enjoy underneath the parasols on the alfresco dining area. This is very much an address where outdoor pursuits are the number one priority. On the grounds, there's a hard tennis court, trampoline and children's play area, but beyond the perimeters, there's plenty to see, too. The town of Totnes takes forty minutes to reach on foot, and there are a number of beaches — including those at Broadsands and Paighton — that can be reached in less than half an hour in the car. However, don't worry if you fancy staying indoors for the day — or if the weather leaves you with no choice — as there's plenty to keep you occupied inside the four walls. A games room on the top floor has tables for both foosball and ping pong, as well as another stunning view out of the floor-to-ceiling window. Alternatively, what's to stop you curling up on one of the sofas in the living room with a book in hand and the log-burner crackling away comfortingly in the background?

The Shippon

Meeting / Conference Rooms

This is one for those who demand a quintessential English retreat from their country escape. A tranquil manor house located in the town of Ashburton, it's got Dartmoor’s wild landscapes right on the doorstep and the Devon coast just half an hour away. Original wooden ceiling beams and stone walls provide a historic backdrop to activities, whether that’s dining together at the large rustic table or relaxing in the free-standing bathtubs. Hosts offer a hotel service with breakfast, cleaning, welcome drinks and hamper. The expansive grounds have a private swimming pool, crystal lake and a garden allotment, making it the perfect setting for weddings and parties, or even just coming together with loved ones for a well-deserved getaway.


Cream Tea

If you want to feel the sea breeze in your hair then this home in Torquay – right on the English Riviera – is the one for you. It's situated just steps away from the harbour, so you don't have to go far to watch the boats bobbing in the water and hear the chatter of seagulls in the sky. Inside, you'll find a cosy space where you can kick back and relax between adventures, and we love the nautical blue and grey colour palette. The private balcony is the perfect place to enjoy your morning coffee as you make plans for the day – perhaps you'll discover the town's unique charms, with its Victorian pier and Ferris wheel. Or, take a drive along the coast to discover hidden beaches, beautiful walking trails and cosy country pubs to warm up in after your adventures. 

Devon Dreams

This cosy white cottage is set in the beautiful village of Lustleigh, named one of the prettiest UK villages by The Telegraph in 2019. Wander through the intimate interior and onto the quaint streets and it's a postcard picture image at every turn.

The restful haven has a warm energy that makes it a dreamy spot all year round. In the spring and summer, the sun shines on the cottaged houses and Lustleigh radiates in a jubilant mood. Come the colder months, the snug living room, with a log burner, is a quiet spot to curl up with a book or film. 

If the weather allows, you're expertly placed to explore the natural beauty of Dartmoor National Park. Bring snacks and plenty of water before you embark on a journey across the scenic walking trails. It's an idyllic location for picnics underneath the summer sun.

If the weather isn't on your side, settle into the comfort of your home. The deluxe bathtub is tailor-made for those wet, winter nights when you want to escape to your tranquil refuge.

A Chocolate Box

Is there anything better than a seaside holiday? This lovely stone cottage is in Marldon, on the edge of the English Riviera. Bring your bucket and spade, as you’re within easy reach of several beaches. We love paddling at Paignton, which is a twelve-minute drive, and exploring the harbour in Torquay, which is sixteen minutes away. 

If you prefer to keep your feet dry, there’s still plenty to enjoy here. The South West Coastal Path is a dream for hikers and cyclists, and you have all of Dartmoor’s delights to discover too. 

When you’re not exploring, you’ll be relaxing at the cottage. Curl up on the sofa beneath wooden beams for a cosy afternoon in, or spill out onto the courtyard for games in the fresh air. Head out to a pub for dinner, pick up fish and chips, or cook in the well-equipped kitchen. Everything you might need is close to hand at this comfortable and convenient home-from-home. 


Cream Then Jam

Beach Essentials

If the gentle trickle of water helps you relax and you're a lover of the great outdoors, this fabulous home is sure to delight you. Right next to a narrow part of the River Harbourne, which leads to the Dart, it's a converted fruit barn with bags of character and more than its fair share of chic styling. 

Built around 1825 and once a rubble ruin, the home has been completely modernised, with plenty of contemporary luxuries blending with the building's original structures. We love the extended kitchen and dining space, where beams and exposed stone walls give way to gunmetal grey patio doors and a glass ceiling.

Designed to be cosy for four but with the option of adding two children in the spacious master suite, it's a beautiful home with several standout features. As well as the modern log burner in the sitting room, there's the private garden beside the river, the high-spec kitchen, glamorous bathrooms and comfy beds. Plus a friendly local host who'll be on hand with tips and recommendations about the area.

On the outskirts of a village near Totnes, you'll be ideally positioned to access all of the South Hams easily by car. And keen walkers can head off to Totnes, Tuckenhay, Cornworthy and more. There are two good pubs within walking distance and the nearby Sharpham Estate has a great farm shop. 

Run with the River

Tucked in the heart of Devon, this old dairy farm is perfect for those seeking flexible holiday living. The layout is spread across six cottages and suites, all based around the pretty courtyard. Some can be linked together for larger groups, too. We love the traditional character here – expect exposed stone walls, wooden ceiling beams, and plenty of rustic-chic charm. Set in the glorious Devon countryside, you won't need to leave this home for an authentic country experience. The grounds have a flourishing garden, full of lush greens and a turquoise lake. For a change of pace, stroll down to the local town for traditional cream tea shops, or take the short drive to awe-inspiring Oddicombe beach. After days exploring the unique landscapes, there's nothing better than coming home to the sunny courtyard, where you can enjoy a few tipples while little ones let loose.

Lime Tree Arbour

Despite its small size, this studio apartment's proximity to Paignton's seafront gets full marks from us. The water is so close, you could practically reach out and touch it from the living area, making it the perfect spot to enjoy some sand, surf and Devon sunshine. 

We love how the coastal scenery is reflected in the sleek and stylish design. Yellow chairs invite you to kick back and relax with a glass of wine, admiring the views framed in the full-height windows. The compact but well-stocked kitchen is ideal for romantic dinners at home, while the lush rainfall shower is just the ticket after a balmy day by the sea. 

Of course, days here are best spent wandering along the traditional pier, snacking on fish and chips at Goodrington Sands and dipping your toes in Tor Bay. The beach is a mere 100 metres away, but if you're keen on exploring a bit further, you'll find the South West Coast Path, Torquay and Exeter are just a short journey by car.

Balmy & Clear

Lift Access

Boasting sea views out towards Shaldon and across the Teign estuary, this apartment is an ideal base for a coastal retreat. Situated next to the West Coast railway, you’ll hear some train noise throughout the day – that said, the balcony’s a great spot for watching the steam trains that pass through during spring and summer. There’s an on-site fitness room for those keen to keep up with their exercise routine, but for us, this home’s all about the location. With Back beach less than five minutes away on foot and Teignmouth's vibrant bars and eateries within easy reach, you’re well-placed to enjoy all that this stretch of Devon has to offer.
