  We loved everything about Bluebell Cottage the minute we walked in.

  It is very well equipped for a self catering venue, plenty of kitchen utensils, different sizes of pots and pans, more than three kinds of glasses, a fridge with a small freezer compartment, washing up kit, the list goes on. A nice welcome package including bread, butter and milk + coffees and teas. The cottage is very cosy and clean with a lovely garden with chairs and tables and a pool and sun loungers. The beds are very comfy, the shower powerful enough for long haired ladies and the open living room/kitchen good for socialising while cooking. The location is perfect, very quiet, the two local pubs within walking distance up the hill (much better to walk downhill after a drink lol), a play park nearby that my 8 and 11 year old loved and that provided lovely views. The Olde Smokey House seems to be renown in the area for their carvery. There are also leaflets and recommendations for local takeaways in the cottage but we didn't get round to trying them although that was the plan at the start of the holiday :) We made trips to Paignton and Brixham and other nearby areas and took the local country bus to Torbay which was a short ride but check the time for the last bus back just in case. I had two children (8 and 11 year olds) with me, they loved the cottage and the pool and now we just need to decide when we'll go back. We had a lovely holiday, thank you! :)

  A lovely house over 3 floors.

  Good size bedrooms, with plenty of space to get ready. Ideal having en-suite include bath/ shower in each bedroom, however ideally some hand soap available in each one would have been nice. Clean and tidy property with all kitchen equipment needed. Ideally for dog owners. You wouldn’t know it had dogs in it before. Stair gate great idea to prevent dogs upstairs too. Really is a 1 minute walk to the beach and 3-4 minutes from Paignton pier. 2 parking spaces directly outside of the property make it ideal to park up and then walk in to the town, where entertainment, pubs and shops can be found. Great communication from property manager, who responded to a question quickly. Ever better if… After a long journey (6 hours), it would have been nice to have a welcome pack of some sort such as pint of milk in the fridge, so that a warm drink could have been made on arrival. It’s the small things that can make a difference. Towels were provided, however only one bath sheet, the others were small bath towels and not ‘ideal’ for adults. Overall, great location to potter around and close to other local areas such as Dartmouth, Brixham and Goodrington Sands.

  We have just returned from a fabulous week's holiday in Torbay, where we had a wonderful stay at the Pink Bungalow. The property is located on a quiet street, is extremely comfortable and furnished to a very high standard throughout. The kitchen is very modern and the dining area benefits from a sunny disposition. The bungalow has gas central heating so it's warm and comfortable in every room. The location is best suited for those who have their own transport but even if you don't, both the beach and the local shops are only a short walk away. The bungalow has a lovely garden both at the front and back, with some sloping steps leading up to the property. Whilst these would not be suitable for wheelchair users, my 86-year-old mum with limited mobility had no problem getting up or down. I would recommend the Pink Bungalow to anyone planning a holiday in the Torbay area as it really does have everything you need, and is in a perfect location to explore the English Riviera.

  We absolutely enjoyed our short break at Bluebell, what a beautiful, cosy cottage.

  Everything you could want was provided, including luxurious white bath towels and sheets from M&S. We were warmly greeted by Lisa and Rob, the owners, and inside the cottage, was a welcome pack that went above and beyond what we have previously had - teas, coffee, hot chocolate, sugar, small pots of jam and marmalade,biscuits and a delicious loaf of bread. In the fridge we found bottled water, butter and milk. The gardens are a delight and the pool an added bonus, especially if you have young children. A great location for touring south Devon. We will not hesitate to recommend Millman's Cottages and hope to return ourselves to enjoy a stay in one of the other amazing cottages.

• The Matwala Family, Essex - Verified booking

  Really enjoyed our short stay in your holiday home, lovely views, beaches and weather has warmed up. Nice quiet road, scenic ideal setting. Beautiful garden at the back. Firework night in Torquay on Saturday was good. Our 7 year old found the games and book really useful. We enjoyed crabbing in Stoke Gabriel and fishing. We did the round robin great value and lots to do day out. Well equipped we felt at home, relaxed, comfortable and at ease. Modern kitchen /bathroom nice for a young family. Good to have Wi-Fi in the property, Garden furniture as well, we sat in the garden and chilled out. All seaside essentials in the garden for the kids to take to the beach.
