Bethany
It was our first time back in Torquay since 2020 (when I was pregnant with my daughter). We returned this year with both our little girl & baby boy. The apartment was a lot bigger than we expected but it was so nice, spacious & clean. It was very local to the town & as we donât drive it was so easy to walk down through town to the Marina & get to the beach. There was also a regular bus service along the road if we needed it, which took you all the way to Paignton too. The beds were super comfy and the travel cot was comfy for our baby too. Weâve had problems before where they are rock solid and luckily this wasnât the case: The area is quite noisy with buses & cars (that cannot be helped). The people downstairs also decided to move in / move furniture at 10pm the first night we stayed which disrupted us. However we had no problems other than that. Our daughter is already asking when we are going back to our âholiday houseâ as she called it. We hope to return again! We also recommended the property to a few of our friends. :)

Very modern and comfortable and well equipped with everything for our stay. The location is central and only a short walk to the harbour and beach. We did not have any issues and anyone wishing to have a comfortable and enjoyable stay in this area is recommended to visit Sea Nest.
