  Spent a weekend in this house in Torquay. House was comfortable (beds/duvets and pillows were great), warm and clean but facilities basic. Took us a while to work out how to get TV and DVD player to work without instructions. Internet did not connect for us either. Hired bed linen which was clean but left in bag for us to put on beds ourselves. We did not spend much time in the house as we were out all day and ate out at night so kitchen was adequate for us, but if a family was staying for a week and wanted to cook then the fridge was very small. Luckily I know Torquay well as it wasn't the easiest place to find but once in car and moving it was within 2-3mins of shops, pubs, sea etc. Parking was another problem. We were advised that we should use the garage or park in front of it and certainly there was extremely limited parking otherwise. However the garage was not easily identified at 10.00pm at night and as we have a larger car (S-Max) it was very difficult to manoevre in and out of the small courtyard where the garage was. We didn't even try to get it in the garage! The view from the back of the house of the bay was lovely.

  The house was generally very warm and comfortable, and it was very clean when we arrived.

  We enjoyed the views from the lounge and master bedroom, despite the somewhat grey and damp weather! The kitchen was well stocked with pots and pans etc, and the welcome cream tea was lovely! The king size bed was extremely comfortable but the two single beds were quite soft so our parents found their backs aching a bit by the end of the week. It would be helpful to include in the property description that the lounge is upstairs - this is not currently in the listing (I re-checked) and we may have thought twice about booking had we known, as we travelled with elderly parents who struggle with stairs. The sofa was quite low and soft which again, made it difficult for the older members of our party. There were plenty of items in the property to provide entertainment (both indoor and outdoor) which is throughtful, plus a folder full of detailed local information. The TV and washing machine were quite old - they did work but we are used more modern (and have experienced better in other holiday cottages) but overall, this house provided what we needed for an early break away.

  The house is at the end of a small cul de sac with no through traffic so nice and quiet. it is well located for visiting the Agatha Christie Festival as the Museum, Imperial Hotel and Little Theatre were in walking distance were events were held. The view from the back of this property is well worth the steep climb up to it. You definitely need a car if you're not extremely fit. During the week there is a local bus every hour at the end of the street but nothing at weekends. Having a bathroom for each bedroom was very useful. There is a well equipped clean and tidy kitchen and the furniture in the sitting room was comfortable. Having a large warm conservatory at the back was a real bonus when the weather was not so good. The only downside to this was the constant drip from the water outlet pipe onto the plastic roof could be a bit annoying if under it for any length of time. I would definitely stay here again.

  The view from the garden is wonderful and the cottage is OK in itself. It could do with a couple of tweaks. They provide a tea towel in the kitchen (which had seen better days) but could do with a hand towel in there too. There is also a conifer that you have to negotiate to actually get up the step in to the house which could do with some SERIOUS pruning. Beds were comfy, TV/DVD required a PhD in Physics to get it to work but we managed eventually! The whole place just felt a little tired but was perfectly serviceable as a holiday home for a week. We have booked using Holiday Homes and Cottages several times before (and they are always lovely and helpful) and always used a different property which was the same price as this one but much higher standard (that was not available this year)

  Workshop, Tiverton, Devon Our stay at the charming Workshop Cottage in Tiverton, Devon was an absolute delight. From the moment we arrived, we were struck by the gorgeous views and the warm welcome from the lovely owners. The cottage itself is so comfortable and cozy - it truly felt like a home away from home. The peaceful, quiet setting was exactly what we needed to relax and unwind, but there was also plenty to explore nearby or a bit further afield by car. The location was perfect for discovering the beautiful Devon countryside. We can't recommend this cottage highly enough. If you're looking for a truly tranquil and rejuvenating getaway, this is the perfect spot. We left feeling refreshed and already can't wait to plan our next stay!
