About this property

Bowden House - Poppy

There’s plenty to do here to make Poppy an ideal romantic getaway. Enjoy views from the gardens or walk the coastal path.

Set on the coastal road, just 600 yards above sheltered Maidencombe Beach and the village’s pretty thatched inn, these six very comfortably furnished holiday properties all have separate entrances and enjoy the use of an acre of attractively landscaped gardens with extensive sea views (except 28865). They are ideally situated for the coastal path, yet still enjoy a peaceful and tranquil setting for abundant local wildlife. Bluebell (ref 28864, set on the first floor) and Foxglove (ref 28867, on the second floor with a roof terrace giving spectacular sea views) are situated in a purpose-built extension to the owner’s Victorian residence, whilst Poppy (ref 28865, a first floor apartment) is part of the original house. Lavender (ref 28868, set on the first floor above the owner’s accommodation) is accessed through the main reception, and Laurel (ref 28863) and Chestnut (ref 28866) are comfortable two-storey properties, and all the properties accept pets, apart from Lavender (ref 28868). The ‘English Riviera’ is famous for its mild climate and is ideal for year-round breaks. Torquay, with its many amenities is only 4 miles away. These are the perfect properties for family get-togethers, friends’ reunions and celebrations. There are 22 miles of coastline, cliffs, coves, beaches and walks with opportunities for surfing, swimming, diving, sailing and angling. Torquay is an ideal base from which to visit Dartmouth, Totnes, Exeter and Plymouth. It is a place in which to relax, soak up the atmosphere and enjoy a holiday in a classic English seaside resort. Torquay town centre and Living Coasts are about 5 minutes away. Oddicombe Beach is also close by, and discover the shopping area of St Marychurch, a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle of the harbour area. Oddicombe Beach can be reached by foot down a very steep, wooded lane, or choose a more gentle ascent on the historic Babbacombe Cliff Railway. One of only a few original working funicular railways, the Babbacombe Cliff Railway has been transporting visitors up and down the 240 foot cliff-face since 1926. A short stroll from Oddicombe Beach leads to Babbacombe Beach and a pub. Nearby, visit the Babbacombe Model Village. Exeter and Plymouth are within an easy drive. There are many National Trust properties, including Agatha Christie’s summer house in Galmpton. Golf and walking locally. Shops 2 miles, pub and restaurant 600 yards.
The properties can be booked together to accommodate up to 24 guests.

External steps to entrance. All on the first floor.
PLEASE NOTE PRICES ARE FOR AN ENTIRE, FULLY EQUIPPED, APARTMENT FOR TWO PEOPLE = £50 PER PERSON PER NIGHT INCLUDING LINEN, TOWELS, BASIC TOILETRIES AND ALLOCATED PARKING, IN STUNNING LOCATION WITH PANORAMIC SEA VIEWS X

Summer holiday
It was a really nice flat in a lovely location. We walked down to Maidencombe Cove for a swim every morning and took the bus that ran up and down the coast every day - the bus stop is right by the house. What's not to like?

Never Again
Poorly equipped. No instructions for TV. Batteries in clock and remote not working. Noisy floorboards. Glass shelf in bathroom loose, (couldn't even stand toothbrush on it). Surly proprietor. (Did nothing even though we told her about batteries and instructions)!

3 night stay with our 2 small dogs
Lovely clean spacious apartment in a lovely setting with views over the sea. Within easy walking distance of a good pub although pub at bottom of a steep hill but worth it and with walks for our dogs and a small beach with cafe would recommend

Just as the listing discribed
Really enjoyed our stay, it was exactly as described. Very clean , everything you needed all there. Lovely sea view. Very quite only an owl hooting in the distance at night. No seagulls non stop screaming at dawn, perfect for short day trips from south to Brixham North too Exmouth. highly recommended
Stayed 5 nights in Aug 2019
