It is set high up on one of Torquays many hills, with a view of the sea from the garden. There are further views of the sea from outside the property as you walk down into Torquay town or to the nearest pub in the other direction.

The nearest pub is The Kents, which is a 12 min walk (0.6 mile). The beach is a 27 min walk (1.3 miles). The town centre is a 17 min walk (0.8 mile). The Quay is a 22 min walk - 1.1 miles, which has lots of cafes / bars and restaurants and Dinosaur World which is great for small children.

A taxi to/ from town costs about £10. Torquay is very hilly - downhill to all of the above and therefore uphill coming back !

Nearby attractions include Kent’s Caverns which is an interesting cave tour, Buckfastleigh otter and butterfly sanctuary where the South Devon Railway steam train also starts its journey. Additionally there is a round robin tour with an open top bus, a river cruise on the River Dart and a steam train.
A number of country parks are within easy driving and of course Exmoor and Dartmoor with their many walks.
Activities good for families include:- Crealy’s theme park, Goodrington Sands (a lovely sandy beach with good facilities - toilets etc.), Paignton Zoo, Pennywell farm where you can cuddle piglets and other animals, Angels tea room Babbacombe (need to book), Sheldon Regatta (late August), GeoPlay Park on Paignton esplanade, Cockington Country Park (for walk/run around and a mini craft village).
