Well worth a stay with stunning views from the balcony.
The location was great for us, just a short stroll into Torquay along the promenade. The studio was perfect it had everything you needed, small and compact , the views from the balcony were stunning of the coastline.
Could have done with some firmer pillows , to be more comfortable at night.

Incredible views & very clean property . If I could change anything it would be the uncomfortable sofa bed . Apart from that I wouldn’t change a thing . Had a lovely 2 night stay . Highly recommend . There was no noise from surrounding properties and in a great location
Stayed for 6 nights. Great location and view from the room gorgeous! Everything we needed. Only one complaint we were by the door to where the garbage is put....lots of garbage laying around not put in bins. Figure it was previous guests. I would recommend

Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback and for staying with Fresh Escapes
From May 16 to May 20 I stayed at the Maidencomb Studio at Torquay. My expectations were more then fulfilled: what a fantastic view! To experience that I could enjoy any time these sights, like the pier where Agatha Christie used to roller skate when she was young, was like being in paradise 😉 The studio itself was clean and perfect for me to be there alone. So if you like to come at peace, I really recommend this studio!
