5.0 / 5.0
This is a stunning apartment in an ideal location for anyone visiting Torquay. Situated just a 30 min walk from the harbour, it is also on a main bus route and less than a 5 mins walk from a good sized Co-Op, The Kents pub & restaurant and several cafe's, bars etc.
The apartment is finished to a very high standard, with every amenity you need for a short break. It has the most comfortable beds, an amazing shower & is a great price. What more could you want!
This is the ideal accommodation for up to four adults or parents and young children, however I wouldn't recommend for more senior guests as the stairs to the property are quite narrow & awkward to navigate.
I would happily book to stay here again and will be recommending to friends & family.

Pat and Stan's holiday
The apartment was excellent. However, we are 84 and 85 respectively and the stairs to access the apartment can only be described as lethal. I'm truly surprised that either one of us didn't have an accident on them. These very steep and narrow treads, not to mention the 90 deg bend, were not mentioned before we booked.

The Perfect Place
What a lucky find. My husband and I stayed here for a week. The apartment is wonderful, extremely clean and with everything you could need.
Wellswood is the ideal location for visiting so many attractions and we used the local buses daily. The village itself is great and we used many of the shops and eateries. We were glad we stayed here rather than in the centre of Torquay.
We would definitely stay again, and highly recommend this property.

Couldn't fault it!
Luxury apartment with everything you could want and more. Fully equipped kitchen and 2 spacious bedrooms complete with smart TV's. Loved the little extras on arrival with a supply of cake, biscuits, tea and coffee provided. 15/20 min walk down to the harbour, longer coming back up the hill but bus stops near by. Close to a convenience store and a good pub. Would highly recommend.

Fabulous apartment
I can’t fault the apartment, the location and the ease of booking. It was immaculate, beautifully furnished and the bed was more comfortable than mine!
Just a 2 minute walk to a pub, various restaurants and a co-op.
We would stay again without doubt.

Extremely well appointed and comfortable apartment. Quality fixtures and fittings and everything is provided to make it a very enjoyable stay. Clear instructions and helpful information provided before arrival. Convenient location for exploring local area. Steepish walk back from Torquay harbour but great for getting your steps in!
