Have just returned from a week in Torquay. We booked a small cottage through Karen from Holidays 4U. We had a very relaxing week in a beautiful and very comfortable property. The cottage was very close to the sea front and all the amenities. We were able to stroll out in the evening and choose one of the nearby restaurants.  So much easier than having to call a taxi each time. The area is very pretty and is even beautiful at night with coloured lights along the walkways. One night we collected a takeaway fish and chips as we had been recommended to Hanburys, which has won awards. Very good fish and chips, would definitely recommend this. The directions to the property which Karen provided us with were very good.  Sat nav can get you so far, but this cottage was tucked away and would have been otherwise, hard to find. Collecting the keys on arrival were also very straight forward, as they were left in a key safe and we were given the code a couple of weeks before the holiday. There was a TV with plenty of good film channels, but as the cottage also has internet access, we were able to stream some films from our laptops. There was also a DVD player in the cottage and the owner had also left some games, which we enjoyed including an amusing Top Gear board game. There was also a selection of reading books, but we didn’t get time to read any, as our days were full of sight-seeing and visiting the beach. We were lucky with the weather, as it was sunny everyday apart from our day of arrival and our day of departure.

We stayed in a holiday cottage in Torquay which we booked through Holidays 4U. We have been coming to Torquay for many years and know the area quite well.  We were pleased with our cottage this time around. The views surrounding the cottage were actually truly superb. We also did a lot of walking. There are some very good coastal walks. We drove to Babbacombe Downs and took the cliff railway down to Oddicombe beach.  A truly spectacular piece of engineering history. They allow dogs as well. Then we walk around from Oddicombe beach to Babbacombe beach. We weren’t brave enough to walk up to the top of the cliff – it is very steep!  So we just turned around and took the easy route via the cliff railway again. On other days we explored Maidencombe beach, Ansteys cove and Meadfoot beach. A word of warning on Meadfoot beach.  We went down the steps from the roadside down onto the beach.  The edge of the water was around 6 feet away.  We were busy chatting away sitting on the sand.  Suddenly a diver walked by saying “you do realise the sea is coming in fast”!  If you are reading this Mr diver, thank you so much. We ran to the steps to find that they were partly submerged in water already. Thank goodness it was a calm day, so we could take off our shoes and wade through the sea water to reach the steps.  It wouldn’t have been pleasant if the waves had been crashing against the sea wall!  There should be a sign up, please Torbay Council.  Anyway drama over – we had a very pleasant holiday.

Lovely Review for St Anns Cottage in Torquay

Posted on by

We have been home for two weeks now, and are still enjoying happy memories of our family time together while we stayed in your very comfortable and cozy St Ann’s Cottage in Torquay.

stannsYou have it furnished and arranged very comfortably, and after a couple of days, going up and down stairs, my leg muscles were strengthened, and I came home in better shape than I left. J The children were most comfortable there, too, finding places to enjoy their play together. I loved the wardrobe in the twin bedroom, with the open drawers and mirror there. It was very handy for me, because I’m short, and could hardly see myself in the bathroom mirror over the sink. But that mirror was perfect for our tall son-in-law. J So you have things arranged for tall and short alike. I like all of the windows in the cottage; keeps things cheerful and light, and the dining room table was great, too. And we were most comfortable temperature-wise. Our daughter had great fun baking up a storm in your handy kitchen, and we had fun relaxing in the living room.

Babbacombe_Model_VillageAnd how handy to the St.Maraychurch/Babbacombe area!! Wonderful location!! I loved the little shops so handy, and with such variety and cheerful shop keepers. And as you advertised, handy to the Model Village which we enjoyed during the day and night, and to the bus stop. And Geoff was very helpful. And how handy to the beach as well, which we enjoyed! I highly recommend St. Ann’s for a family of 6! And if we get the chance, we would be happy to return for another stay.

The children would have liked to have played in your back ‘secret garden’ more, but the weather wasn’t warm enough for that, until the day we left.

I just wanted to give you some ‘feed-back’ because, though we’d like to give it on the web-site, we aren’t interested in ‘logging in’. So, if you want to transfer to the web-sight, what I have written here, you are most welcome to do so.

Thank you again for your part in making our Devon visit a very happy one to remember!

Sincerely,
Margaret and Jim from BC Canada
