Great location
Stayed for 6 nights. Great location and view from the room gorgeous! Everything we needed. Only one complaint we were by the door to where the garbage is put....lots of garbage laying around not put in bins. Figure it was previous guests. I would recommend
Incredible views & very clean property . If I could change anything it would be the uncomfortable sofa bed . Apart from that I wouldn’t change a thing . Had a lovely 2 night stay . Highly recommend . There was no noise from surrounding properties and in a great location
Alas had no wifi which was an issue for me during my stat. Fault was being investigated. .

Little paradise
From May 16 to May 20 I stayed at the Maidencomb Studio at Torquay. My expectations were more then fulfilled: what a fantastic view! To experience that I could enjoy any time these sights, like the pier where Agatha Christie used to roller skate when she was young, was like being in paradise 😉 The studio itself was clean and perfect for me to be there alone. So if you like to come at peace, I really recommend this studio!
