This is a well positioned holiday home that puts many of Torquay's attractions in walking distance. The home itself is spacious with a large, stepped garden and well sized lounge and dining room.Our stay was comfortable and quiet, allowing us to walk up to St Marychurch within a few minutes. Some of the bedding could have been more comfortable and the TV was a challenge to say the least, but this was more than made up for by the overall good character of the place.We would not hesitate to stay there again if we have opportunity.

Lovely modern interior clean and spacious. Great to use as a base to explore sth Devon Torbay area. Sadly due to the drought the garden looked very tired. Has all the basic equipment you need in kitchen. Beds fairly comfy but I used the duvet as a topper. (It was too hot anyway) There’s no larger mirrors in bedrooms which would be nice when yr doing your hair and need a plug socket etc. The sofa bed in the lounge was comfy.

We had fabulous week staying at Harry's .Arriving to a clean spacious home with a lovely welcome gift 🥰 much appreciated. The garden is well maintained and secure if you have dogs.The house is in a great location . At the top of road there are many shops butchers , bakery , co op , cafes , pubs. At the bottom of road if you cut across miniture village car park and you are at sea front ..with most idyllic views and restaurants, bars .Harry's was perfect location for exploring torquay, Brixham cockington counrty park and so much more all so close .We would definitely consider returning as we had so much more we wanted to see the week went by so quickly.
