This elevated area boasts a 6 person hot tub, distant sea views and seating. There is also a cold water outdoor shower for hosing off any sandy pups or wetsuits, and a washing line, along with outside electric sockets if needed. The structure consists of a door leading into the bedroom and general living space, with double bed, kettle and toaster. (Please note these are the only cooking facilities). From another door accessed to the side of the pod there is an outside toilet. The pod, although small and with limited facilities, offers guests an up-market like camping experience yet in a much more desirable location if being close to Torquay town, beach and amenities is what you are looking for.
There is so much to see and do in the local area, including visiting the many beautiful beaches, greens and coastal paths. Around Torquay’s marina there is an abundance of quality restaurants, bars and pubs as well as amusements and a theatre. Torquay’s surrounding areas such as Brixham, Dartmouth and the city of Exeter, all make for great days out, as do many of the towns within the South Hams. Sit back and relax in the hot tub while enjoying a late night drink after a long day exploring all the English Riviera has to offer!

Great place, great location. Everything was just effortles and my husband and I enjoyed unwinding during the Easter Bank Holiday weekend - the hot tub was a treat! The sunny morning allowed us to brave the cold shower - but host has plenty local alternative suggestions if that's not your cup to tea. We got the ferry over to Brixham and enjoyed a coastal walk to Berryhead - highly recommend. We will definitely be visiting Torbay again.
