St Anns - beautiful detached cottage in Torquay

Summary:
St Anns is a beautiful detached house within a 5 minutes walk of the best sandy beaches in the area. The house is well equipped and includes a dishwasher, washing machine and tumble dryer.

The Space:
St Anns is a detached cottage-style, three-bedroom holiday home of charming character in the beautiful area of St Marychurch in Babbacombe/Torquay. The holiday cottage is within easy walking distance of shops, bars, restaurants and beaches. An ideal choice for family holidays, as there are plenty of facilities and activities in the area for children, including Babbacombe Model Village, which is just around the corner. Our spacious holiday cottage sleeps 6 in three bedrooms, (one double, one twin and one room with bunk beds). The bunk beds are more suitable for children, rather than adults. The house also boasts a private drive (parking available for 2 cars) and sun trap landscaped gardens. To the rear, the cottage has views over the Petit Tor Downs, Torquay Golf Course and Watcombe. The closest beach is Oddicombe, a 14-year consecutive winner of the Blue Flag Award and designated Euro Beach. If you choose to take the Cliff Railway, Oddicombe is a 15-minute walk or if you prefer the path Oddicombe and adjoining Babbacombe are a 20-minute walk. Other beaches at circa 15 minutes are Watcombe and Whitsand. Torquay is a 4-hour drive from London (or less if you speed!)

St Anns is a dog-friendly home. The area is great for dog walking including some dog-friendly beaches. There are some beautiful coastal walks: in our opinion some of the best views of the English Riviera coastline.

Lead guest should be 25 years or older. No groups of all males or all females. Families only.

The exterior of the house was re-painted in July 2020.

This holiday let is available for vacation rental with a minimum stay of just 2 nights. Don't hesitate to call us for availability and to enjoy a well-deserved last-minute break.

The maximum occupancy is 5 adults and 1 child, as the upper bunk isn't really suitable for an adult.

The guest will be charged a prepayment of or the total price of the reservation anytime. Please double check with us on the payment schedule.

Pretty House
The house was lovely and clean but in need of a freshen up. With 6 adults there was not enough comfy chairs available - one armchair and a 3 seater sofa. Also if you have more than one car and they are both SUVs they will not fit on the drive due to a narrow entrance. However, saying that the location was ideal for walks around Babbacombe and St Mary Church.

Home away from home
A well appointed cottage, although much larger than a cottage, fantastic location - short walk to a village precinct and Babbacombe Downs. Would not hesitate to recommend for up to 6 people and would definitely stay again. Excellent communication with both the host and caretaker.

An excellent self contained home away from home.
We enjoyed our stay and being so close to the centre of St Marychurch was a bonus.

Disappointing at best. The owner never stays here and it shows.
Firstly I was offered compensation only if I didn't write this review, no offer 2 cover £150 expenses we incurred because of the conditions & lack of supplies. That's just not on. I have a very hard time believing any positive reviews for this place. We arrived @8pm after 18 hours travel to a house that was SIX degrees Celsius. The boiler has a slow leak they know about yet they haven't fixed it properly so no heat or hot water; There was no light in the dining room - bulbs burnt out in one fixture & missing in the other; a moldy stinking piece of clothing in the washer. We called after hours MGMT who said we'll call you right back. After 30 mins of no callback we booked a B&B elsewhere for the night. They never did call back btw. A gas installer showed up 15 mins later, 'fixed' the boiler & showed us how to maintain it ourselves for our stay. Said 90 mins until the house would be warm. He left & we did too. Mgmt Co text me to say the gas installer fixed it, not to confirm with US it was fixed - bad customer service there! They offered to bring light bulbs by in 3 DAYS for the only eating area in the cottage. We returned the next day to make lunch. We find dirty pans, pots & cutlery which have to be thoroughly scrubbed before we can do so but at least we it was warm now & there is hot water though it only lasted 3 more days until I had to do maintenance myself & then every 3days. The kitchen knives we're as dull as a dinner knife and the sharpening steel was worn smooth. In a self catering place, the kitchen has to good but it isn't. When I pay to stay somewhere I expect it to work. I do not expect to have to do maintenance or pay for light bulbs. When issues were addressed with the owner, they said this is ”self catering” & "guests are allowed to pay for things like light bulbs". WHAT!? I didn't expect to have to buy them nor the dish brush, dish soap, washing tabs, dish towels, hand soap, etc. as there were NONE of those items in house & only 1 partial toilet roll. The shower curtain is hung improperly so the curtain sticks to you while you shower. The parking is super tight. The owner said there's nothing that can be done but AFAIK stone can be cut to widen the driveway. Their guest info book is good 4 nearby eats, services, etc but there's no explanation 4 garbage & recycling practices nor pick up times. The bedrooms, living room, internet are also good but it's not enough to want to go back. A disappointing place to spend the holiday
