  • "More than satisfied with the property which was comfortable, spacious and had everything we needed and more."

    The parking was a bonus. Robin, the owner, contacted us on day 2 and on the way home to check about any issues. He was also helpful with advice about places to visit and eat. Strongly recommend this property.

  • "This is an immaculate flat with lovely, modern appliances and equipment and contains everything you need."

    It would benefit from brighter lighting as it lacks natural light and can seem gloomy. It has a very comfortable, huge bed and a good shower. Robin the owner was friendly and attentive and responded immediately when I had a small problem with air fresheners.

  • "Ideal for two and great location; about 30 minute walk to Torquay marina one way and Babbacombe the other."

    Had everything we needed and Robin (the owner) was great too; checked up on us early on and was quick to resolve a glitch with the water heater.

  • "We were very impressed with this accommodation."

    Very modern kitchen facilities. All situated in a very quiet area of Torquay.

  • "We assumed like most cottages etc we should leave bedding and towels ready for change and cleaning but no mention."

    Also we would have liked to praise the Flat and comment in the visitors book but we couldn't find one. The only thing we missed was a chance to sit outside in the sunshine for a drink etc. but that should be obvious from the description as we acknowledged.

  • "We had a very enjoyable week in the flat - the standard of facilities and cleanliness were first class."

    Having private parking outside the front door was invaluable. The peace and quiet of the neighbourhood ensured a relaxing stay. We appreciated the welcome pack on our arrival, and the comprehensive folder of attractions and places to eat. The owner could not have been more attentive; he contacted us the day after we arrived and on our return to make sure we had arrived safely and had enjoyed our stay. We had inadvertently left behind some items of clothing and we appreciated his contacting us about them and going to the trouble of posting the items safely back to us. We would recommend this property as a base for exploring the Torquay area.

  • "Robin welcomed us both, checking everything was ok."

    He gave us plenty of recommendations of places to visit and eat. Very accommodating and checked mid week all was ok!. The flat was spotlessly clean and of a high standard through out. We would definitely stay again if visiting south Devon again.

  • "Really enjoyed our stay at Flat 1 Byfield."

    Robin greeted us when we arrived & was very welcoming. The flat was clean & comfortable, had everything we needed . Robin rang us after a few days to make sure everything was ok with the accommodation & to see if there was anything we needed. Did everything we had planned on doing in the week we were there. The only downside was the weather which is out of anyone’s control . But we still managed to get to Oddicombe beach on 2 days. Would recommend this a accommodation & hope to return sometime.

  • "Well appointed, clean flat furnished for a couple and with benefit of off-road parking."

    Owner left some welcome treats and called to check all ok. It's located in tree lined road and although a good walk into Torquay it was never onerous. We averaged over 12,000 steps a day and visited some local attractions. Coleton Fishacre NT is a wonderful place to visit as was Dartington Trust gardens. Also try Plant World nursery/gardens.

    It was immaculately presented and very well fitted out by an owner who clearly cares about his guests. There was a very generous and usable welcome back and everywhere was spotless.

  • "Very comfortable and quiet property with everything you needed for your stay."

    Ten minute walk into Torquay although a walk uphill on the return journey! Local restaurants and take always in St Marychurch are very good. Courtesy phone call from the owner at the beginning and end of our stay to ensure we were happy with everything which was appreciated.

  • "It was a pleasure to arrive at Byfield - a beautifully furnished, immaculate, well appointed and equipped one bedroom flat."

    It was perfect for the two of us and we had a very comfortable stay. The welcome pack was much appreciated as was phone contact from the owner Robin at the start and end of our stay. Parking was a bonus and it was an easy walk for the local bus into Torquay centre for access to further public transport which runs along the coast - ideal for us walking the SW coast path section from Kingswear to Starcross.

    Lovely spacious apartment with high ceilings and great quality fixtures and fittings. Firm and comfortable superking bed. Good shower and fab illuminating bathroom mirror. Everything is included, bedding, towels and the apartment is extremely well equipped, thanks to an incredibly thoughtful host! Private parking on the apartments driveway. St Marychurch is a lovely quiet area and great base. I particularly enjoyed walks along Babbacombe bay which is very close by. Great value, private, secure and comfortable accommodation.

    A lot of thought had gone into getting it right for the customer, a lovely bathroom, kitchen and living room all done to a very high and the welcome pack was a nice surprise. we got a call from Robin on the first day and he was very informative about the area and if we had any problems about anything to give him a call, he called us on the last day to see if we had a nice time, he also asked if we had any suggestions on little things to improve the flat which we thought was very good

  • "The flat is situated in a very quiet area with easy access to the Queens Quay area and within easy reach of many attractions."

    The reason for the not so smiley face in the comfort review is because we found the settee not easy to get out of (being octogenarian's) and being leather, we constantly slipped forward on it. The owner rang us twice to ensure we had everything we needed.

  • "We have just returned from a week's stay feeling very relaxed & refreshed."

    The apartment was in a good location for exploring the area but close enough to walk into town for restaurants etc. It was spacious, well equipped and very cosy (we had very wet, windy weather during our stay so this was well tested!) Courtesy calls from Robin were a lovely touch and the tips on places to visit very welcome. Would recommend as a base for exploring the area.
