  Our stay at Bridges Cottage was quite nice.

  The cottage has been renovated to a very high standard, and there is everything that you could possibly need for your stay. The cottage is very well equipped and in the perfect location, with many beautiful surrounding town and villages. If you want a peaceful break , then this is definitely the place to stay. It is very dog friendly, both in the cottage and the town. Although we loved the Cottage itself, there were 4 major negatives for us. Having problems with my right shoulder because of a previous fracture to my collarbone,I found it quite difficult to get in and out of the bed. This is because of how the bed is situated, right up against the wall and window, with no gap to walk down. Also the shower/ bath, which i should say is really nice and looks amazing. We both found it difficult to get in and out of. It is an unusual shape and quite a deep bath. The off road parking is in a very tight space and under quite a large tree. Our car was covered with sticky sap like drops all over the car, which took me 4 hours to clean off our car when we got home. The car park space is quite a distance from the cottage, so dropping the luggage to and fro was quite tiring. Although the cottage itself is an excellent place to stay, clean and comfortable. We felt that there are too many negative points for us to go there again. This is a shame because it was in the perfect location for us to visit the many beautiful places devon has to offer. We would like to thank the owner for the lovely cream tea which was left for us on our arrival.

  We had a fantastic time at 7 The Retreat, the accommodation was by far the best we have stayed in very clean and the finishing touches made it the perfect holiday home.

  The accommodation had everything we could need and more including extras that make your holiday that bit more special such as windbreaker for the beach crabbing lines all wonderfully thought out by the owner. The kitchen was well stocked with everything you need to cook a nice meal - including oven gloves and tea towels to save you taking these. The nice welcome gifts were also a nice touch. The beds were comfy and and the place was spacious. 7 The Retreat couldn’t be positioned better - it’s straight across the road to the beach about a 1 minute walk so perfect and then 5 minutes into town. We enjoyed lots of beach days, a visit to the zoo, visit to the Torquay and did lots of other fun activities. The grass area by the beach made a perfect location to play cricket and bowls with the children. We had a really fantastic time, the children didn’t want to come home nor us adults and we have already booked a return holiday there next July. The only thing we could think of that would maybe improve the accommodation more for the future would maybe to install an air conditioning unit in the attic room as we had exceptionally hot weather and as heat rises this room became particularly hot and stuffy. Please pass on our thanks to the owners of 7 The Retreat for a wonderful holiday home. X

  We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here.

  The location was ideal, plenty of shops nearby. Easy access to bus stops for heading into Torquay and other popular places nearby. Cottage was very well equipped with everything we needed in the kitchen as well as a handy washing machine in the utility room. Lovely snug room with sofa and tv.(slightly high on the wall for size of room) Lovely modern bathroom with plenty of room.Great quality towels provided. Bedroom was big enough and provided storage for all our clothes including hanging space. Lovely comfy bed. Nice fresh clean carpet in several areas. However we did both notice coming down the stairs that there were several carpet grippers poking through on the upright part of a few stairs which we did both catch our heals on unfortunately but it’s something that can easily be resolved.A cosy little outdoor area with bistro set overlooking bigger garden next door with friendly neighbours. Had to be very careful with one of the seats tho as the metal is quite rusty and has started to break up leaving a sharp edge. We managed using a cushion to sit on but just thought it best to mention. Lovely gesture providing us with milk,scones,jam and clotted cream on arrival, they were delicious and we’re now addicted to clotted cream even now we’re back home

  A lovely house over 3 floors.

  Good size bedrooms, with plenty of space to get ready. Ideal having en-suite include bath/ shower in each bedroom, however ideally some hand soap available in each one would have been nice. Clean and tidy property with all kitchen equipment needed. Ideally for dog owners. You wouldn’t know it had dogs in it before. Stair gate great idea to prevent dogs upstairs too. Really is a 1 minute walk to the beach and 3-4 minutes from Paignton pier. 2 parking spaces directly outside of the property make it ideal to park up and then walk in to the town, where entertainment, pubs and shops can be found. Great communication from property manager, who responded to a question quickly. Ever better if… After a long journey (6 hours), it would have been nice to have a welcome pack of some sort such as pint of milk in the fridge, so that a warm drink could have been made on arrival. It’s the small things that can make a difference. Towels were provided, however only one bath sheet, the others were small bath towels and not ‘ideal’ for adults. Overall, great location to potter around and close to other local areas such as Dartmouth, Brixham and Goodrington Sands.

  Our indulgent stay at Vane Lookout, the penthouse atop Vane Tower, was an experience we won’t forget. With its panoramic views of Torquay Harbour and the English Riviera, it’s a place where the world feels wonderfully distant, and the beauty of the sea surrounds you at every turn. The penthouse itself is a peaceful retreat, with luxury interiors and an understated elegance. Each moment spent there—whether enjoying the natural light streaming in or taking in the evening sky—felt like a slow exhale. It’s the perfect escape for those seeking tranquility, romance, and the simple pleasures of being near the sea. Vane Lookout captures the essence of what it means to truly unwind, and we’re grateful for the chance to experience it.
