Harbreck Heights - Masts B9 is a modern, spacious apartment in Torquay, highly praised for its stunning views, excellent amenities, and homely atmosphere. Guests consistently highlight the beautiful balcony, secure parking, and well-equipped interiors. While the location offers breathtaking scenery, it is situated atop a steep hill, which may be challenging for those with mobility issues.

Overall, guests frequently return and recommend this property for a relaxing and memorable stay.
Most guests found the apartment very clean and well-presented, with only a few isolated incidents of missed cleaning (e.g., unwashed dishes, food left in appliances). These were exceptions rather than the norm.
The location is praised for its fantastic views and proximity to local attractions, but the steep hill and steps may pose difficulties for those with limited mobility or without a car.

The apartment is described as exceptionally well-equipped, modern, and spacious, with secure parking and all necessary amenities. Minor maintenance issues (e.g., broken blinds, tight parking space) were noted but did not detract significantly from the experience.

Prior to booking I read the reviews that mentioned the apartment is on a hill, I thought it would be fine, we are reasonably fit people. However it's not just a hill, it's a huge cliff. If anyone has any mobility issues or young children you need to be prepared to drive everywhere, and the parking spot allocated to this apartment is in the most difficult place in the car park. You need to be a confident driver to get into the space. Apart from that we had a great time. The apartment had everything we needed and the beds were very comfortable in our opinion.

The apartment is wonderful well equipped and to a really good standard. We had a couple of issues but a call to the housekeeper and they were resolved . We were there for two weeks and the housekeeper arranged for a linen change half way through . The views are amazing however because of that ( which we knew before booking) there is a long step climb up from the promenade. Parking in our space in the car park was very tight and anything larger than our Renault Capture would find it difficult .
