This is a lovely apartment with views across the bay the only problems we had were we were not given the key codes and had to wait outside for resident to come out who got the cleaning lady to let us in All the crockery was dirty and the toilet system was running the whole time we were there Just a few problems but the facilities and holiday was lovely

Fantastic view from lounge window overlooking Torbay. Accommodation comfortable but rather outdated. Biggest problem is parking as normally have to park 50 to 100 yards away from accommodation. We would not book again as in our late seventies and no end of hills and steps everywhere, appreciate if you have a view you have to have this.
