Brilliant beachfront accommodation
We arrived to a spotless town house with beautiful views and modern coastal furnishings. The kitchen was equiped with everything we needed as was the bathroom. We walked into town along the beach, it was so convenient. We will be returning to Torquay and staying here again.
