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.

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

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.

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.

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.

Victorian Escape

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.

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

Parking On Street

The English Riviera provides the perfect opportunity to sail away on quintessential British seaside charm. And this home, perched above Torquay Harbour, invites you to pause, relax and experience the magic of Devon’s south coast.

From the mesmerising views across the coast to the snug furnishings and large terrace, every detail of this apartment inspires a wonderful sense of warmth and welcome. So whether you’re here for a quiet retreat or a sea-faring adventure, this is the kind of space that provides a constant sense of sanctuary. 

Set across one floor, the living room is perfectly designed for heartwarming evenings with a glass of wine by the fire, while the bedroom transports you to your own private cabin. And with the meditative sound of the waves in the distance, you’ll wake up feeling refreshed and ready to explore. 

Stepping outside, days can be spent savouring the delights of the sea. From invigorating coastal walks and award-winning fish and chips to lingering drinks in cosy pubs, there’s everything you could need to soak up the abundant charm of Torquay and beyond. 

The Admiral

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

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. 

Azure Marina

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

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

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

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

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

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

Safe

This stylish flat with peeks of Torquay Harbour is the perfect seaside escape. Here, the seagulls will organise your morning wake-up call, so treat yourself to a cup of tea and an extra thirty minutes in bed. Lie back and listen to the sound of lapping waves and the gentle knocks of butting moored boats; breathing in the salty sea breeze that drifts through your open window. After a hearty breakfast whipped up in your own kitchenette, it’s time to explore the English Riviera. You’re a ten-minute walk from Torquay Beach and a hop, skip and jump from a clamour of continental cafes, trendy boutiques and waterside cocktail bars. When you return home salt-tinged and worn out, fall back into that sumptuous chocolate brown sofa before tucking into hot fish and chips on the balcony, watching the sunset melt across the port.

Peppermint Rock

This lovely holiday cottage situated in the picturesque village of Paignton features stunning sea views and offers the perfect retreat for a family looking for a relaxing Devon escape. 

The home will welcome you warmly, with a cheerful exterior, a huge garden and those instantly calming views of the countryside and the sea in the distance. Step inside to be greeted by a cosy living room, decorated in tones of blue, which seem to subtly hint at the sky and sea outside. Lounge on the comfy armchairs and sofa and settle in for an evening of movies in front of the fire. 

You’ll be able to rustle up delicious meals in the bright and well-equipped kitchen, and weather permitting, the best place to savour them is out in the garden. Should a rainy day catch you by surprise, there’s also a dining table inside, as well as a light-filled conservatory where you can sip your morning coffee. 

For a night of restful sleep, head over to the comfy bedrooms – one featuring a double bed, and the second boasting a double and a bunk bed, perfect for younger guests. 

When you’re ready to head out and explore, there are plenty of choices here. From cycling and hiking the coastal trails to idyllic beach days and a variety of water sports to be enjoyed. You can also visit the local farm, and there’s a good number of shops and dining options nearby too.

With stunning sea views and an enviable location in the attractive hamlet of St Marychurch, this holiday home has everything going for it. Just a nine-minute drive from Torquay, and mere minutes from the beach, this beautiful home is a wonderful base from which to explore this part of Devon. 

You might want to start your day on the balcony, sipping coffee and admiring the sweeping views of the sea. After a hearty breakfast in the sun-drenched dining room – the perfect setting for celebrations – head off with your bucket and spade. Oddicombe and Babbacombe beaches are five and six minutes away by car, so you’ve plenty of choice. Rent kayaks or paddleboards to admire the coast from a new perspective, or settle down on the beach with fish and chips. 

Keen hikers will be pleased to learn that the house has direct access to the South West Coast Path. There’s a whole host of walks so you’re sure to find something to suit the group, with glorious views of the English Riviera ready to be devoured. If you’re more of an ambler than a rambler, you might prefer to pop into Torquay instead. Settle into a cosy corner of a cafe with a cream tea before exploring the shops.

Back at the house, you can look forward to making happy holiday memories. The outside space is wonderful, with garden games and a trampoline, as well as a fire pit to sit around when the sun starts to set. Head inside after dark and set up in the cinema room for a family screening.

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. 

The Peacock's Feathered Plume

This seventeeth–century property overlooks the sparkling blue waters of the seaside town, Brixham. Situated next to the charming harbour, you're only a short stroll away from the waterside. Head up the three-tiered garden to admire the view from atop. You'll be greeted with clear skies, the hum of the waters, and the sounds of the harbour. 

The large windows throughout the home light up the space as you play on the vintage arcade table that offers the classical Space Invaders and Pacman. Whoever gets to sleep in the Captain's Cabin bedroom gets a gorgeous view of the surrounding harbour right from the comfort of their own bed – imagine waking up next to that blissful sight every morning.

The beautiful yet convenient location makes this the perfect place to reside on a family getaway to a seaside town. There's a fantastic selection of eateries by the harbour front as well as a cosy pub that serves delicious local produce. Wander the streets of Brixham to discover a ton of local hidden gems and treat yourself to sugary sweet treats and savory snacks.

Captain Curious

Access to Gym / Spa

Wheelchair Access

Dramatic views and stylish interiors are the names of the game at this home overlooking the coastline between Paignton and Brixham. A big, bright family home with a rear garden that drops away, it offers up staggering vistas, with big windows and a huge terrace built to make the most of it. Period touches like parquet floors, fireplaces and bay windows nod back to the 1930s, while luxurious, modern furnishings bring everything right up to date.

Perfect for families, there's a great deal of space to spread out in, with an open layout to the fully equipped kitchen and dining space – with one of the best views in the house. Elsewhere, a cosy living room boasts velvet sofas, a log burner and sliding doors to the terrace, while a second sitting room doubles as an extra bedroom, with a wheelchair-accessible ground-floor bedroom off it.

Upstairs, the main bedroom is a lesson in elegant styling, and we love not only its far-reaching views across the hills but also its stunning en-suite – the freestanding tub is such a treat. And we'd have been quite content if it stopped there, but this home also comes with a slight surprise – underneath the rear terrace, you'll find a bonus room used as a gym, with a treadmill, bike machine and weights.

Enjoy all your meals on the sunny terrace during the summer months, gaze out across the sea and even watch the steam trains go about their business at the local heritage railway. It's just a walk or a short drive to Broadsands Beach, and you can choose between heading out for a day at Paignton Zoo, visiting Brixham Harbour or even grabbing your clubs for a game of golf nearby – it's all within easy striking distance.



In Perspective

Swimming Pool

Shared Pool

Within the popular beach town of Paignton, this home is ideally located for exploring North Devon. You’ll be able to stroll down to sandy Goodrington Beach in just seven minutes – from there, admire the unusual red colour of the sand and go for a walk along the pretty pier. While in town, why not pick up some fresh produce to cook on the barbecue for the ultimate British summertime meal back home. Upon your return, knock up a few light bites in the swanky kitchen before sipping bubbly on your private glass-fronted balcony – we can vouch for the sea views. Come evening, enjoy an al fresco dinner or watch the sun go down over the water with a glass of chilled wine. While you won’t have it all to yourself, the large pool will be a welcomed sight on sunny days. However, the real highlight of this home is access to the neighbouring boating lake which lets you hire out swam boats and bob along the peaceful waterway below. Bliss. 

Nautical Reflection

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

This apartment's showstopping feature is its idyllic view of Paignton harbour, complete with boats bobbing about in the sea and the town of Torquay visible in the distance. This postcard-perfect panorama can be enjoyed from the bay window in the living room or out on the home's large, private terrace, which also has seating for an alfresco supper. Though naturally overshadowed by what's happening outside, this home's interior is well worth closer inspection, too. The stark white walls reflect the copious amounts of natural light nicely and the tiled kitchen is welcomingly sleek, too. The two bathrooms have a bath and a shower, and although it may only be a small thing, we certainly appreciate having the choice. When you're ready for a day out, there's plenty going on in the immediate locale. The red sand of Fairy Cove is just two minutes' walk away, although there's a wealth of other nearby beaches to choose from, too. The park at Roundham Head is a lovely spot for coastal views and can be reached in under ten minutes on foot.

Bayside

Courtyard

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

Sitting less than 100 metres from sandy Paignton Beach, this modern studio apartment offers an ideal seaside getaway for a couple or solo traveller looking to explore this scenic slice of the South Devon coast. 

Inside, the decor is all crisp whites and nautical nods to the home’s privileged locale. An inviting king-size bed takes centre stage, while a window-side reading nook welcomes early morning coffees in the armchair while taking in beautiful beach and promenade views. For even more uninterrupted vistas, step out onto the small private balcony and breathe in the fresh, salty air. Enjoy the sunset here over a glass of wine before rustling up a tasty meal in the kitchenette or going out to explore the many nearby restaurants, treating yourself to their catch of the day, of course. 

When it comes to ways to fill your days here, Paignton Beach is an obvious must, as is its promenade with its views across the bay towards Torquay. You’ve also got the delights of Paignton Pier nearby – dating back to 1897 and boasting a plethora of amusements, games and cafes – while the popular seaside resort of Torquay is ten minutes away by car.

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.
