The cottage had everything you could need for a comfortable stay, with plenty of utensils and crockery. The owner also left us a lovely welcome gift which was a love special touch that we enjoyed. The owner was extremely attentive to ensure we had the best stay with regular communication to ensure we had everything we needed. The cottage is in a great position with Torquay Harbour a short stroll away so the cottage was handy for the town but far enough away to be tranquil and quiet. If I had to give a negative it would only be maybe purchasing a new sofa it was comfy for a short period but then I gives you backache. However this is a very small problem and did not affect our enjoyment on holiday. We had an amazing time thank you Peter would definately recommend.
