Torquay home away from home
Neatly presented and clean, the villa is in a nice complex of four in a quiet street. We were there for the cycling event and would have liked to have stayed longer as it is handy walking distance to Torquay waterfront and would have liked to check out a few more attractions in the area. Pet friendly and fully fenced. Ou dog also liked it all.
