Perched above Torre Abbey Sands, this apartment earns its place on the seafront through one standout feature – a private balcony with panoramic views stretching across Torbay towards Brixham and the marina. The living area connects directly to it, so whether you're brewing a morning coffee or winding down in the evening, the bay is always in front of you. Three bedrooms with a lift to ease arrival makes it a practical base, too. Torquay Harbour is a nine-minute walk, and the English Riviera Geopark's limestone coastline is just ten minutes on foot.

Home truths
If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a high chair – worth requesting in advance to make sure it's ready for your arrival.
