  • "We had a lovely week at Harbour Reach."

    Good communication from Keith the owner. He arranged a weeks parking permit for us in the Torbay area so we were able to explore the area. The cottage was very clean and comfortable and there was even a devon cream tea for us on our arrival. The location was great. Just up from the harbour and close to bars and restaurants. We walked the dog up the street from the cottage and the views, both day and night, looking down on the harbour were lovely. Would highly recommend this cottage.

    Very close to many eating places at the harbour and a food shop nearby. The cream tea was very much appreciated on our arrival and the milk too. Would recommend this to anyone.

    Place wasn't very clean but I believe it was a temporary cleaner. Central location, beautiful views.

  • "The property was very comfortable and close to amenities."

    It rained one day and there was water dripping from the skylight onto the floor but it wasn't a large amount. Just wiped a few times with kitchen roll. A jug would be useful in the kitchen but not essential. We enjoyed our stay very much and was good value.

  • "Harbour Reach is very central for Torquay, but far enough away as not to be disturbed by the hustle and bustle of this busy seaside resort."

    The property itself clean, comfortable and well equipped. Although there is no off street parking, the ower provides a parking permit valid for all the Torbay coucil car parks. The nearest car park to the property is about two minutes walk, and is well lit and covered by CCTV. Throughout our weeks stay we never had any problems concerning parking. All in all Harbour Reach is an ideal base to explore this part of Devon.

    It is in a fantastic location to explore Torquay and the surrounding area. Exploring by car is made easier with the (virtual) parking pass provided for the local Torbay car parks which enabled us to visit all the local places without parking charges. Harbour Reach itself is a beautifully modernised property to a high specification and was perfect for us to relax for a week. Many thanks to the owner, Keith, who communicated with us before our stay and was there to greet us and give us some very useful information about the property and the surrounding area. He also left us with information on walks and exploring the local area. All in all, a great week in Torquay

    The fisherman's cottage was clean and very comfortable, like a home from home. The host Keith was very helpful and welcoming. I'd stay there again if the chance arises. The position of the cottage is perfect, only being 5 minutes walk from shops & restaurant's as well as the harbour & beach. I didn't want to come home.
