This is an excellent very well equipped modern penthouse apartment with stunning views over Torquay. A comfortable walk into Torquay or Paington and a regular bus service very close by if you dont feel like walking. Generous allocated parking and the host was most helpful in providing all of the information we required. We will be back!

Fabulous accommodation

Was everything we hoped it would be. Comfortable, clean and fabulous location with a view to die for! Only possible downside is flight of steps to reach the access door if you have mobility issues. We would definitely return.

I am glad it was a good holiday, and thanks for the positive review. The 16 steps with handrail from the car park to the building entrance could be a problem for some with restricted mobility.

Excellent property and location.

Excellent from the go. Book and communication with brill. Apartment is amazing, modern, clean and the views ……well they are just out of this world! Only one little criticism was the decking on the balcony …….started to rott and a lot have come loose and come easy to trip on. Overly 10/10 will definitely be booking for next year.

Thanks for the review. The decking has to be replaced, and some planks were lifted so that the waterproofing below could be surveyed.

Location excellent. Layout of apartment good as was the space, especially just for the two of us. Decor was tired and dated, needed brightening and refreshing. Balcony was unusable due to loose decking. Lift out of order, suggest checking this prior to booking. We booked this apartment based on previous reviews, mistake. We will not be returning.

Great location/accommodation.

Located in a fairly quiet good residential area about one mile outside torquay. Spacious flat with great views and balcony. We were warned that the buzzer may not work on checking in. This was the case and we had to ring another flat to gain access. This seems to have been a problem for a while and was the only downside. Comfortable chairs on the balcony would be a big improvement.

All round excellent

Thank you for our excellent stay at this apartment. Lovely views across the sea with wrap around balcony, spacious two double bedrooms plus a couple of singles in the other bedroom, all kitchen equipment etc you will need. 2 private parking spaces, easily accessible. Property has a handy lift to outside apartment door. My only VERY minor suggestion is to have more soft lighting in the lounge, perhaps by the TV. Very close to attractions in Torquay, Paignton etc, and others in Totnes, Dartmoor etc close by too. Walk to sea front in a couple of minutes. Would happily recommend this accommodation.

A wonderful, peaceful apartment with amazing views!

We've just spent a week in this gorgeous apartment, with ages ranging from 15-83! The apartment is as good as it looks in the photos; there is plenty of space, it's very clean with a large balcony looking out over the water to Torquay. We were glad to be staying a few minutes away from the harbour but walked there several times in just 15 minutes. We were blessed with sunshine and blue sky every day! A couple of small issues cropped up but David's response was really quick and helpful. Bear in mind that there are 16 steps up to the 'ground floor' where the lift is, but there were handrails so my 83 year old mum coped fine. The block is lovely and quiet, and even though some small trains pass by not far away, the noise is not at all disturbing and they don't run at night. I would recommend this apartment to anyone - we loved being there.

The apartment is spacious, comfortable and well equipped. It's in a great location, easy walking distance to Torquay and Cockington village. You can walk to the Drum Inn Cockington (20 mins) which is a lovely dog friendly pub. The views across the bay from inside the apartment and the large balcony are wonderful.
