About this property
Set in a quiet location in Torquay, Abbey Mews is a great family home
Make yourselves at home in this well-presented property set in a quiet corner of Torquay, and ideally located for adventures along the tranquil South Devon coast. This spacious hideaway is perfect for a family retreat or getaway with friends. Breathe in the crisp ocean air as you perch with a cold drink overlooking the Torquay Marina (2 miles), before settling in for an afternoon sweet treat in the light-dappled lounge.
This airy home features a crisp interior with bright neutral tones, light wood detailing, and inviting social spaces. Slip off windbreakers and sandy shoes by the door then venture into the large lounge/diner. Grab a brew and sink onto the comfortable seats then crack open the chocolates or browse the TV for a relaxing family film. Curl up in the armchair by the window and delve back into your novel or kick up your weary feet on the ottomans and sip a post-adventure tipple. In colder months, switch on the electric fire to chase away the evening chill. Rustle up a feast in the light kitchen then adorn the wooden dining table with a tempting spread. After a day of exploring, rest up in the three peaceful bedrooms, consisting of a double, a cosy single, and a twin. Air out beach gear or bask in the sun from the small patio.
Admire the imposing red stone cliffs from the shingly sands of Oddicombe Beach (800 metres), or venture to the wood-backed shores of Babbacombe (1 mile) and step aboard the cliffside funicular. Step back in time as you amble along the cobblestone paths and past quaint thatched houses in the quintessentially English town of Cockington (3 miles) or browse the craft shops for a truly unique souvenir.
