About this house rental
Mount Rose is a lovely three hundred year old fully refurnished cottage with a walled garden (nice and safe for the kids) close to the sea, beaches, South West Coastal path, shops, pubs and restaurants of St Marychurch and Babbacombe. It's only a ten minute walk away from magnificent Babbacombe Downs and the train/ lift down to Oddicombe Beach.
The quaint cottage is surprisingly spacious with a large fully equipped family kitchen , a cosy lounge, two bathrooms; one downstairs with a bath – ideal for children – and one upstairs with a shower. The two bedrooms are spacious and have new beds; one with a double bed, and the other with two single beds. All beds have good mattresses that are intended to ensure that you enjoy your stay. Downstairs in the lounge there is a sofa bed, with a good pull out double bed.
The house is furnished to a high standard giving the comforts of new with the charm of old.
Parking is free on the road on which the house is situated. The bus stop to take you downtown to Torquay harbour is 30 metres from the house, and it takes 12 minutes to get to the harbour.
Hanbury’s award winning (best 5 in country) fish & chip shop within walking distance.
Please note that WiFi is not provided. A deliberate choice to ensure a peaceful break. There’s always 4G if you really need it.

We enjoied our holidays in the cottage. The kitchen is very well equipped and even without wifi it was never boring. Our kids were happy about the board games and the dvd collection. Also the short way to the beach or the town center of st. Marychurch.

Great place,no issues. Location not the best for people who are a bit shakey on their feet.

Quiet street. More older people live there. Parking and Bus stop near the cottage. Lovely Garden. BBQ possible. Shops in "Fore street" about 500 meters .

Mount Rose Cottage is a comfortable and very well-presented house, conveniently situated for visits to Torquay and the surrounding areas.

We’ve just returned having stayed in the beautiful Mount Rose Cottage for our family break in Babbacombe. The host and key handler were fantastic- great with communication and responding to messages. The cottage had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The rooms were of good sizes, having two bathrooms is always a bonus and the beds were really comfy! The cottage itself is only a 10 minute walk into the centre of St. Marychurch (up quite a steep hill). However, there’s a bus stop a few doors up the road which has regular services into St. Marychurch or Torquay. Parking could be an issue as there’s no driveway or designated parking spot for the cottage, but we were able to find a spot just up the road each day as others have mentioned in their reviews.
Thank you very much for a wonderful stay!

Wow what can I say. Property was lovely.
Lots of space for the children to play in the garden.
Kitchen was well equipped. Games for the children to play.
Beautiful sized rooms.
7 people in a 2 bed and isn't didn't feel over crowded.
The bathroom downstairs has a lovely deep bath.(children loved that).
Good distance for everything beaches shops takeaways.
No WiFi made this break all the more relaxing.
Really looking forward to booking again.

Lovely holiday cottage, very good top end equipment and decoration. Very comfortable and modern. Very happy with the stay. Parking was a bit tricky but expected in that area

This was a lovely place to stay for a trip to the area. It has a nice secluded garden - a shame the weather was not warm enough for us to make use of it. The description was accurate (the only thing we couldn't find was a coffee maker - luckily we had a one mug cafetière so just made multiple mugs from that). As others noted there are yellow lines outside, but we normally got a parking space on the same road. Just once I had to walk 5 mins back, but that wasn't a great problem.

The Cottage is very pretty and surprisingly spacious with the benefit of two bathrooms. There is a lovely secluded raised garden which is a lovely suntrap and we were entertained by a lovely little Robin every time we sat out.
Location is perfect with it being within walking distance of the beautiful beaches of Oddicombe and Babbacome and the shops of both St Mary Church Precinct and Babbacombe and the model village.
The only down side is that there is NO onsite parking, rather there is on street parking which can mean parking some distance from the house.
A beautiful property, at a really good rental price and somewhere we would stay again.

Nice property, well equipped easy walking distance into town. Parking was difficult though and everything closed very early even at the peak of the summer holidays. Nowhere nearby to eat out, so fine if you want to stay in and go to bed early but if you like a bit of life on your holiday you need to drive to Torquay or further afield and book any restaurants well in advance.

It was good buses weren’t the best and also not very close to the beach one suitable to swim

A wonderful cottage a credit to the owner it has been tastefully renovated mixing old with new. I can’t think of anything negative to say about this 300 year old cottage although it would’ve been nice to know about the history of it.
The wine, chocolates and biscuits were a nice gesture after a long trip, my only gripe and it’s only a small gripe would be there’s no parking in front/on the property but there’s plenty on the streets nearby but don’t let that put you off.
If I’m in Torquay again I’ll be definitely booking this place again.

The cottage is beautifully maintained with all the necessary equipment to make the stay away from home easier.
Parking is a nightmare, but looking at Torquay roads, they are all double lines.

This is such a wonderful 300 year old cottage! Beautifully renovated. Two huge bedrooms, two bathrooms and a livingroon with a pull out bed. The kitchen is fab. The garden is exquisite! There is no parking but lots of on road parking up the hill. We got there late after a car blow out and nothing was too much for the host. There was wine, flowers x 2 and chocolates, biscuits and fresh towels waiting for us. Honestly, I loved it there!!!! Thank you so much. Best holiday in a long time.

Had a great stay - no WI-FI was actually great for family time and 4G was strong when we wanted to reconnect! Well located for all sorts of trips only drawback is that parking is a nightmare ! Husband got a parking ticket because the double yellows are faded and he didn’t see them in the dark - other than that a really lovely house

Very cosy property in lovely area. Comfortable bed and a cook's kitchen. We had a relaxing break.

The area was more residential and built up than we thought it was a delight to come back to the cottage and chill, relax and just be. I came with my daughter to be together and relax, it was just perfect. We made the most of the 3 full days we were here, enjoyed visiting Cockington, and the zoo. Thank you so much Valerie & Justine
