About this property
Bayfort Sea Studio - cosy, terrace, sea views
Wake up to breathtaking sea views across Torquay Marina and Torre Abbey Sands at Maidencombe Studio — a stylish, contemporary seaside apartment perfectly designed for two. Set within a beautifully restored Victorian villa in the prestigious Bayfort Mansions, this modern Torquay holiday let offers an unbeatable position above the English Riviera, with sweeping panoramas that set the scene for an unforgettable coastal escape.
Just moments from Torquay’s vibrant waterfront, beaches, shops, and award-winning restaurants, Maidencombe Studio is ideal for couples seeking a relaxing break, a romantic getaway, or a convenient base for exploring South Devon. Pets are warmly welcomed, making this the perfect pet-friendly coastal retreat.
A Stylish Coastal Studio with Stunning Sea Views
Inside, the studio is fresh, bright, and thoughtfully laid out, blending contemporary comfort with calming seaside tones. A cosy double sofa bed offers the perfect spot for morning lie-ins or relaxed movie nights after a day discovering the English Riviera. Slide open the balcony doors and step onto your private sea-view balcony, where you can enjoy sunrise coffees, evening drinks, or simply watch the boats drift across Tor Bay.
A compact yet fully equipped kitchen provides everything you need for easy self-catering, including an electric oven and hob, microwave, and under-counter fridge-freezer. A modern shower room with electric shower, basin, and WC ensures a comfortable stay and a refreshing start to each day.
Guests have exclusive use of the studio and balcony, as well as shared access to the beautifully kept communal garden.
Explore Torquay and the English Riviera
Located just a short stroll from Torquay seafront, Maidencombe Studio puts you in the heart of South Devon’s most iconic coastal resort. Wander the palm-lined promenade, enjoy classic beach days on Torre Abbey Sands, or discover the dramatic viewpoints along the Royal Terrace Gardens and the newly installed illuminated staircase.
Torquay is home to some of Devon’s best attractions, including:
- Kents Cavern Prehistoric Caves
- Babbacombe Model Village
- Torre Abbey & Gardens
- Cockington Country Park
- Bygones Victorian Museum
- The Agatha Christie Mile
Food lovers will be spoiled for choice with everything from fine dining to fresh seafood and harbourside bars. Enjoy West Country flavours at Rockfish, Michelin-star dining at The Elephant, or relaxed meals at Visto Lounge, On the Rocks, or Ephesus.
Outdoor enthusiasts can join the South West Coast Path directly from Torquay, exploring breathtaking routes to Babbacombe, Paignton, and Brixham.
Perfectly Positioned for Easy Travel
Maidencombe Studio sits in a central Torquay location with excellent transport connections:
- Torquay railway station (10 minutes’ walk) — direct links to Exeter, Paignton & beyond
- Frequent bus services around the English Riviera
- Seasonal passenger ferries to Paignton, Brixham & Dartmouth
- Convenient taxi services for short or long journeys
On-street parking is widely available, though many guests choose to explore on foot or by public transport due to the excellent local network.
