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.
