We all Enjoyed our stay, the weather was great also! Pool and hottub were both great with the most Amazing views the only problem we had was parking as the property only comes with one small space leaving my wife’s car with no we’re to park. There is some parking on the narrow road but the other residents are fast is a space does become available. The is a near by multi store car park close by with plenty of space which is great you just have to pay.

The Lodge was easy to find and on our arrival, Easter Sunday, Lauren and Steve had left us some Easter chocolates, cakes and wine.a lovely thought! There was an an extremely well equipped kitchen, everything we needed was there. The bedrooms were pleasant and the beds very comfortable,the bedroom overlooking a car park could be noisy at times. The hot tub was lovely and warm, we found it very relaxing as the weather was not good. Our hosts communicated well throughout. As a family we enjoyed the seating in the lounge area very cosy especially on one cold night when we lit the log fire. A good base for exploring Torquay and area.

Excellent location for wandering the town, with a private parking space! We really enjoyed having downtown be not more than a couple blocks away, while still being quiet in the evenings; while only two of us stayed, there was plenty of room for us to stretch out and relax, with plenty of extra space. All facilities and amenities were clean and well-kept, and views of the harbor were spectacular. Hosts were very responsive and easy to reach. Stepping out on Sunday morning and hearing the churchbells ring was a delight as well. 10/10, would recommend, and shall return!

We had an excellent time at this lovely house. It was perfectly located for everything we wanted with plenty of shops, bars and restaurants within an easy walk. Geographically it was an ideal base to explore the local area as well. Steve was a great host and very easy to communicate with.

A truly unique house in an amazing location that we booked for a late-summer family get-together. From the welcome hamper to the massive living space with amazing vibes to the hot tab and pool decks with superb views over the marina, everything was perfect. The flow of the house from well equipped kitchen, to lounge with massive couch /TV to dining area that opens onto the awesome deck made you feel instantly relaxed - we were a family of seven adults and never once felt anything but chilled and at home in this amazing space. The Lodge was so perfect in every way that we spent more nights around the dining table than in the local restaurants with the deck area making sure the end of every day was either a relaxing soak in the hot tub or a few hours of water sports in the pool for the livelier/younger family members - all with total privacy!!! A wonderful break in a beautiful place with great and responsive hosts on hand to answer any questions on the house or locality. We will definitely book again for our next Torquay break.

We had an amazing time staying at the property. It was like a little piece of heaven that could have been anywhere in the world. The house was immaculate and with two small children catered for everything we needed. The pool, hot tub and outdoor space was amazing and enjoyed by all. The view overlooking the harbour during the day and night were breathtaking. We loved our stay and would definitely book again!
