Cottage vacation rentals in Torquay

Wow we loved this place so so much! Firstly it was within the most peaceful setting you could imagine. Sitting out in the garden was so serene, and the wood fired hot tub was a fun bonus! Inside was immaculate, so cosy and homely! Absolutely everything you might think you need was supplied! The upstairs bedroom/bathroom was dreamy! Surrounded by lovely walks (the coastal footpath was only 5 minutes walk away) and close by to some gorgeous Devonshire villages/towns, I genuinely couldn’t fault this property! Hopefully we will be back soon! ☺️

Linsey was very approachable, always answered any questions. My grandad fell ill the day we were meant to come and she was very understanding as why we couldn’t make it

We stayed here whilst doing a Uni visit and only wished we could have stayed longer. The house is beautiful and has everything we needed. A perfect, relaxing setting. Particularly, sitting on the decking by the lake. We took our dog who also loved all the grassy areas. A lovely treat was watching from the window the rabbits & goats playing. Highly recommend!

Lovely cottage, had everything we needed for a great week. Well appointed kitchen and bathrooms. All the crockery, utensils and pans you need for cooking. Hot tub was certainly a favourite and well used! Nice to have plastic ‘glasses’ for use outside. Great selection of games was a nice surprise. Being able to walk the dog right from the doorstep made it so easy - we really enjoyed exploring the smallholding. Hosts were very quick to respond with answers and support. Yes, the Tesco delivery man did manage to find us and unload :-)

Beautiful cottage with cosy but striking decor, really comfortable and cosy. Perfect for the six of us. Kitchen had everything we needed to prep a roast and the garden was small but perfectly formed. The local pub was a stones throw through a pretty village, with a really delicious menu. Only downside was no local shop for a pint of milk, loaf or emergency crisps. But I guess that may be tricky to sustain in second home areas. All in all a really comfortable cottage - thank you x

The surroundings were lovely and a large enclosed garden was great for the dog and our 3 children. we had many a happy night in the hot tub. Lots of things for the kids to play with. We drove to all the local beaches would say most things are within an hour's drive and would recommend watermouth castle as a day out if you have kids!

Katharyn and Ben were amazing hosts. Really friendly and helpful, the property is full of character, comfortable and with everything you need for a quiet country getaway. We loved sitting in the garden room at breakfast time and chilling in the hot tub in the evening sunshine. The beautiful beach of Beer, and the pretty fishing villages along the coast are no more than a 30 min drive away so it's a great place to base yourself for some exploring too. A wonderful find and highly recommended! Thank you!

Had a lovely few days away. Chris' cottage is very peaceful and had amazing views whilst relaxing in the garden. The cottage itself is very clean and homely. We would definitely return and recommend to anyone looking to come to Devon.

Thyme cottage was such a beautiful and peaceful place to stay. The cottage is characterful and comfortable and well equipped. The fireplace was a wonderful, warm touch. The village of Woodbury Salterton is charming and friendly and close to Exeter. The Diggers Rest is a must! Stop in for a friendly pint or even better for a meal. The food is delicious and beautifully presented. Thyme cottage will be among our top stays.

A really lovely place to stay in a great location. The house was spotlessly clean and had everything we needed. Would highly recommend and would love to return

Had a lovely couple of nights at coastguard cottage - loved falling asleep and being able to hear the sea! Great location with walks and beautiful beaches nearby. Lots of beach facilioties on the nearest beach because of the holiday camp - but secluded coves just over the hill on the coastal path if you wanted to be on an empty beach. Burgh Island round the coast absolutely delightful. The house was bright and cheery and had everything we needed for a perfect stay! Zoe and Charlie super helpful and welcoming hosts. Really loved it!

Such a great place. Accommodated us all well. Kitchen well equipped for our needs. Lovely outside area. The cake was such a lovely welcome touch. We met Giles so welcoming, helpful and very friendly, we would highly recommend the Swallows. We went for a Sunday lunch the village pub lovely food. We visited the Amelia's Flower Farm well worth a visit. A great stay.

BlackBerry cottage is a must stay. From the day we booked Andrea was super responsive and made us feel welcome before we even arrived. Check in was easy and Andrea met us at the property. Not only was the location idyllic but the accommodation was clean, comfortable and had a wow factor. We loved cooking in the kitchen which has everything you need for whatever you decide to cook. Both bedrooms were super comfortable and the bathroom done to a high standard. Felt like a boutique hotel. Our dog also joined us and he was very happy with the stone floors throughout the ground floor, dog bowls and enclosed garden and patio. We really enjoyed reading and drinking a coffee with the patio doors open taking in the Devon landscapes. Highly recommend and we would definitely stay again. Thank you again Andrea.

We stayed for 3 nights whilst visiting family. The property was exactly how Duncan described it. It’s a beautiful property in the heart of the countryside but not too far from major attractions, an ideal base for hectic days out and then coming back to relax in such a wonderful property. The property is pet friendly with a lovely outside enclosed garden for your pet and for relaxing with a drink in the peace and tranquility of the countryside. Right from the outset Duncan and Nikki were extremely friendly and were at hand for anything we needed if required plus keeping us informed of everything we needed to know. We had a wonderful break at the “The Old Hayloft” and I cannot recommend it highly enough. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

We really enjoyed our stay! Went with our little dog and grandparents, it was the most peaceful week that was very much needed before a crazy farmer summer! We loved that Piers recommended things to us when we said where we were going! Really great place and everything was perfect.

Wanted to come back as soon as we left! The cottage and its surrounding areas are absolutely stunning. Perfect for a relaxing getaway and a change of scenery. We were given a lovely recommendation for the Rugglestone Inn which we absolutely loved! Easy access to the moor and nearby village of Widecombe. The cottage is fully equipped with everything we could ever need. Not to mention its log fire which brought the whole place together as well as its comfy bed! We will be returning at some point in the near future! Can’t get enough of the place!

This bijou, well styled apartment was a delight to call home for a couple of days. Matt gives very clear instructions in the days just before your stay. I must admit I was initially a little confused when booking because the description states '2 beds' whereas there is just the one. Once there the photos all make sense. It is very compact but has all you need for a fabulous stay by the beautiful Dart. Our intention is to go back ASAP and hopefully stay longer!

Little Timbers is a wonderful retreat in the gorgeous village of Coffinswell. The accommodation provided everything we needed and more, and was very comfortable indeed. Tim and Chrissie are fantastic hosts, respectful of their guests privacy but always on hand for any questions and smiling faces when you see them in the garden. If ever we are back in the area, we wouldn't hesitate to stay here again. top tip: book the Linny Inn (a short walk up the road) for dinner: you won't regret it!

Had a lovely few days in the hutch. Chloe is a fantastic host, came to welcome and to say goodbye, also kept in contact throughout my stay to check I was ok. The hutch is lovely and immaculate, with everything provided. Lovely quiet spot with great views but really close to amenities and transport links. I would definitely recommend and would stay again!

A lovely, homely cottage. Clean, spacious and beautifully presented with a private parking space and garden. The bed was very comfortable which is a must to get a good nights sleep after a busy day exploring the sights or relaxing on the beach. The cottage is in a great location. It was very easy to find and within a short walk from bars , restaurants, local shops, the Model Village and more importantly the beach. At one end of the street is a bus stop, for £3 you can go to Torquay Harbour. We caught the ferry to Brixham for the day. So much to see and do. We highly recommend a visit to Greenway, the holiday home of Agatha Christie and also a trip on the Round Robin. We booked this at Torquay Harbour. It's great value and includes a bus from Paignton to Totnes, a ferry on the River Dart to Dartmouth then a steam train back to Paignton. All in all we had a wonderful holiday and would like to return, not only to Torquay but also St George Cottage.

We had a fantastic stay at this lovely cottage in Devon! It was cozy, beautifully maintained, and had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. The location was perfect for exploring the area, and the peaceful surroundings made it feel like a real escape. What made the experience even more exceptional was how kind and helpful the host was when I accidentally left an item behind. They went above and beyond to make sure it was safely returned to me, which I truly appreciated. Highly recommend this cottage – both for the charming stay and the outstanding hospitality!

We thoroughly enjoyed our long weekend at Swallows Nest. Lucia and Dan met us on arrival and also left a card and bottle of bubbly for my birthday which I thought was very kind. We have a four year old and one year old so it’s not always easy finding somewhere suitable but Lucia kindly set up a cot for us and supplied a high chair. The upstairs is open plan with a gate across the stairs so very safe for our baby crawling. Our four year old absolutely loved being on a farm and going to collect fresh milk from over the road. It’s so peaceful day and night. It was our first time in this part of Devon and we were blown away by the landscape, pretty little villages and many beaches in such lovely unspoilt settings. We would love to stay again!

A fantastic apartment in the heart of Brixham. The view from the kitchen is absolutely stunning and if you're luckily enough to enjoy some sunshine the patio is fabulous too. Brixham itself is a wonderful harbour to explore with great walks to enjoy from the town itself. Lots of steps to and from the apartment but just adds to the adventure. Thank you for a great stay!

Chris and Carmen’s cottage and walled garden was absolutely perfect in every way. My family and I had a wonderful few days there enjoying their magnificent gardens and spacious, comfortable cottage. It is a beautifully appointed house with plentiful amenities for 6 people. The area is gorgeous with lovely nearby walks. A very special place. Can’t wait to come back on a future visit
