Excellent property
This is our second stay in this excellent, comfortable property. The owners have gone to a lot of trouble furnishing the cottage to the highest of standards.... every comfort has been thought of and levels of cleanliness are high. It doesn't matter what type of weather is going on outside, the cottage is still lovely and warm. We will definitely be back.

Lovely cottage in a very good location
We had a great stay in this cottage. Very well equipped, convenient location. Walking distance to harbour but also close to a bus stop. Small selection of amenities within few minutes walk on a local high street. Parking space definitely a bonus. Would stay in the cottage again if coming to the area in future.

Anniversary break
This cottage is one of the best equipped holiday homes we have stayed in. It was a comfortable home from home. The cottage is close to local shops and restaurants, as well the bus stop for the short ride to the harbour and shopping area. We would highly recommend this cottage for anyone visiting the Torquay area.

St Mathias Lodge
We found the lodge to be everything we had hoped for. Clean, high quality beds, bedding & towels and well equipped for all we needed. Plenty of eating places within a short easy walk. Perfect location for walks to nearby coves and beaches along lovely country lanes. We would highly recommend a stay at the lodge.

Absolutely stunning luxury cottage
The photos do not do this cottage justice, it's absolutely stunning with all the trimmings luxurious from the bedding, beds, towels and kitchen. Had an amazing stay and it was just lovely sitting on the decking having a glass of wine in the sun late afternoon/evening. It was an easy walk in to Torquay centre about 15mins and not a difficult walk back. Smaller coves also within walking distance which were gorgeous. Really can't recommend this cottage highly enough and we are already planning on returning soon
