The apartment is consistently described as very clean, with high-quality fixtures and fittings. Guests have expressed satisfaction with the level of cleanliness throughout their stay.
The property boasts excellent views and is well-placed for local attractions and amenities. However, the steep hillside location and the walk to nearby shops and pubs have been noted as potentially inconvenient for some guests.
The apartment is generally found to be comfortable, with ample space and cosy furnishings. However, some guests felt that the lounge area was not as comfortable for six people and that balcony seating was limited.
Facilities are of good quality, but there have been comments about the practicality of the dishwasher, the warmth of the apartment, and some concerns about the safety of the shower facilities. The provision of fans and the overall maintenance are positives.

About this property
A relaxed ambience flows throughout this delightful coastal hideaway, complete with a wooden balcony and elevated views across the waters of Torquay. This stylish retreat is perfect for families or small groups of friends seeking an elegant stay by the sea. Listen to the yachts clinking as you stroll the vibrant Torquay harbour (within 500 metres), then sip a sparkling sundowner perched on the balcony with a magnificent ocean backdrop.
This apartment boasts a crisp Mediterranean-inspired interior with stone and marine blue hues, earthy coastal textures, and light-flooded social spaces. Kick off sandy shoes in the hallway then be lulled into the airy open-plan living space. Slide open the patio doors to let the balmy Devon breeze spill inside and drink in the uninterrupted sea views. Whip up a fresh summer spread in the wooden kitchen. Crack open a bottle of the good stuff then perch at the stylish glass table to dish out dinner. Stepping into the lounge area, flop down on the plush sofas and raid the chocolates. Kick up weary feet on the ottomans and flick through the Smart TV. When night falls, find three beautifully styled bedrooms to rest up in. Choose between a spacious super-king, a king, and an airy twin – each with rattan textures and sun-bleached neutral tones. Completing the property is a sleek spa-inspired bathroom. When morning breaks, step onto the striking balcony to indulge in a spread of warm pastries.
Keen foodies will be in their element sampling unbeatably fresh seafood and seasonal menus in the array of fine eateries in Torquay (500 metres). While away sun-soaked days on the golden shores of Torre Abbey Sands (500 metres) or embark on a scenic saunter as you pick up a section of the South West Coast Path to Anstey’s Cove (2 miles).

Mr Carpmail
Outstanding apartment, we had the best time for my husbands 50th birthday, with 2 adult children. Plenty of room, everything was well kept and we had everything we needed and more for a lovely break. The weather was both amazing one day and awful the next- but it was lovely being in the apartment cosy and warm watching the bad weather from inside. Lots to do around the local area and loads of nice places to eat. Would definitely recommend!

The view is a real wow factor! The location is understandably on a hill to get the views , but although the details mentioned a pub and shop 0.5 miles away, I wasn't prepared to have to walk half a mile down a steep hill and back again just to pop out for milk or a paper or a couple drinks . The apartment is quite large with plenty of storage. Lounge area not very comfortable for six guests. And only seating for four on the balcony. The kitchen adequate, however dishwasher only practical if you all eat at once, as only 6 of everything. Beds comfortable and linen and towels good. It's VERY warm everywhere, without heating on. Fans provided in every room tho which helps , but windows very awkward to open. The family bathroom has a pullout shower head from the bath but you can't stand and shower as no hook to put it on and no shower screen.The ensuite room nice but the shower has no nonslip floor which is quite dangerous, my parents in their 80s were in there and I was quite worried about them. Overall a nice apartment, but hasn't been thought through in all areas. I probably wouldn't go back.

This is an excellent apartment with great views across Torbay. Very clean and well equipped with good quality fixtures and fittings. Communication was strong throughout the period leading up to the rental.
