Sellers Insight
"We have owned this gorgeous flat in Torquay for about 8 years. It has been cosy and homely in all seasons. Bijou & perfectly formed with its balcony letting the outside in to its bright & airy lounge. This is a perfect flat for a little family, or a couple. A quiet getaway from the hubbub! Perfectly located for the beach, a stroll into Torquay, a visit to Paignton Zoo, as well as Babbacombe & cliffside Oddicombe. There’s a great atmosphere at the marina and families can be seen crabbing in the harbour. A short walk to local eateries and bars, as well as the quaint Village of Cockington, steeped in history and with its craft village and ‘The Drum Inn’, where they do a great pub lunch. Torre Abbey also offers Art galleries & extensive gardens. The people are warm & friendly - always ready for a chat. We will miss our wonderful holiday home and all of us have left part of ourselves in the beautiful English Riviera."
