Hunker down in the heart of Torquay during your stay in this charming and traditional three-bedroom cottage with original features like wooden beamed ceilings and exposed stone walls plus a tranquil outdoor space for dining alfresco. Take your four-legged friends on long coastal walks and dips in the sea before relaxing in the comfortable open-plan area in your home away from home.

Inside is an inviting, neutral-toned kitchen with everything you need to rustle up a home-cooked meal for your loved ones. Gather around the table in the lounge/diner in front of the wood burner. After dinner, put your feet up on the sofa or sit back into one of the comfortable armchairs in front of the TV. All of the bedrooms are on the first floor – a double, single and a bunk bedroom. There is also a family bathroom on this level. Outside the front is a small shrub garden and to the rear is a courtyard garden with furniture.

Stroll around the centre of Torquay and along to the harbourside, marina or beach which are all within 0.5 miles. Despite this property''s central location, it’s tucked away in a quiet historic area of the town. Canine-welcoming beaches nearby include Peaked Tor Cove (0.5 miles), Beacons Cove (0.5 miles) and Meadfoot Beach (1 mile). If you’re a history geek, check out Torre Abbey (1 mile) – a historical building with 7 acres of gardens plus a cafe. Take a picnic to Daddyhole Plain nature reserve (0.5 miles) and sniff out the nearby London Bridge Arch (0.5 miles).

Why not attend one of the many annual events and festivals in the area, Torbay Air Show, Electric Bay festival, Paignton Festival, The Torbay Royal Regatta, Agatha Christie Festival, England's Seafood Feast, Devon County Show and the Bay of Lights

We had a brilliant holiday at Bosun's cottage. The location is excellent right near the centre of Torquay, but still quiet at night. A good selection of shops and restaurants are walking distance, as is a beach that is great for exercising the dog. The cottage is nicely furnished and comfortable. It was a hot week when we visited and the fans in thRead moree bedroom were great! We never had an issue getting a parking space in the nearest carparks covered by the parking permit and because it covers all the council carparks in Torbay we didn't pay for parking all week even when out and about visiting attractions in the area.

A lovely cosy cottage which had everything we needed. We were welcomed by Christmas decorations and a lovely food hamper. An excellent location as a short walk only into the town. Buses were plentiful. We had a quiet and peaceful stay. Would definitely stay again.
