About this cottage rental

Summary:

St Anns is a beautiful detached house within a 5 minutes walk of the best sandy beaches in the area. The house is well equipped and includes a dishwasher, washing machine and tumble dryer.



The Space:

St Anns is a detached cottage-style, three-bedroom holiday home of charming character in the beautiful area of St Marychurch in Babbacombe/Torquay. The holiday cottage is within easy walking distance of shops, bars, restaurants and beaches. An ideal choice for family holidays, as there are plenty of facilities and activities in the area for children, including Babbacombe Model Village, which is just around the corner. Our spacious holiday cottage sleeps 6 in three bedrooms, (one double, one twin and one room with bunk beds). The bunk beds are more suitable for children, rather than adults. The house also boasts a private drive (parking available for 2 cars) and sun trap landscaped gardens. To the rear, the cottage has views over the Petit Tor Downs, Torquay Golf Course and Watcombe. The closest beach is Oddicombe, a 14-year consecutive winner of the Blue Flag Award and designated Euro Beach. If you choose to take the Cliff Railway, Oddicombe is a 15-minute walk or if you prefer the path Oddicombe and adjoining Babbacombe are a 20-minute walk. Other beaches at circa 15 minutes are Watcombe and Whitsand. Torquay is a 4-hour drive from London (or less if you speed!).



The house is laid out on 2 levels. Downstairs there is a sunny and spacious lounge with a 3-seater sofa and armchair, coffee table, smart TV and a piano. The dining room has a dining table and 6 chairs, and an armchair. The kitchen is well equipped including an cooker with gas hob, dishwasher, tall fridge/freezer, microwave, washing machine, tumble dryer, kettle and toaster. Upstairs the master bedroom has a king-size sleigh bed, large wardrobe, chest of drawers, rocking chair, and 2 bedside tables. There is also a wash hand basin with mirror above and a tall mirror. The 2nd bedroom has 2 single beds, wardrobe, chest of drawers and 2 bedside tables. The 3rd bedroom has bunk beds (new in 2025) and a chest of drawers. The bathroom has a bath with shower overhead, and a wash hand basin with mirror above. There is a separate toilet.



St Anns is a dog-friendly home. The area is great for dog walking including some dog-friendly beaches. There are some beautiful coastal walks: in our opinion some of the best views of the English Riviera coastline.



Lead guest should be 25 years or older. No groups of all males or all females. Families only.



The exterior of the house was re-painted in July 2020.



This holiday let is available for vacation rental with a minimum stay of just 2 nights. Don't hesitate to call us for availability and to enjoy a well-deserved last-minute break.



The maximum occupancy is 5 adults and 1 child, as the upper bunk isn't really suitable for an adult.



Pets are allowed, but only dogs. Cats are not allowed.



The guest will be charged a prepayment of or the total price of the reservation anytime. Please double check with us on the payment schedule.



We can provide a travel cot on request. Cot sheets will be provided, but you should bring your own pillows and covers for the cot.

We had an excellent stay at this cottage, the property was clean with all the essentials topped up the toilet tissue etc, the host even left us new bread in the kitchen. The property itself is really spacious and has a touch of modern and classic elements. The check in process was exceptionally smooth and straightforward with excellent communication from the host to ensure that we were happy with our stay. The host was very quick to reply with any queries we had and really friendly. Overall I highly recommend this place and you will not be disappointed with your stay here and we will happily rebook here next time we are in Torquay.

This is a great property, ideal location for getting around the area and easily walkable to Babbacombe. The host was easy to contact and replied immediately. The only thing that was a bit misleading was that it said it had 2 bathrooms when actually the toilet was just separate to the bath so only 1 toilet in the house.

We had a great time in Torquay and St Anns cottage!

St Ann's is a osy clean well equipped cottage within walking distance to the village & shops & beaches. There is a bus stop in front of the cottage which takes you into town & from there buses to Brixham and Paignton etc. We enjoyed our stay despite the initial disappointment of not finding the " additional toilet". Maybe that can be rephrased as bathroom with bath showerhead and a separate toilet. We also find the pullcord in the bathroom gets in the way of closing the door without it knocking on the door/ wall. An extra seat in the lounge would be appreciated without feeling squashed. The parking is a challenge due to the narrow driveway.Overall a nice stay. A thank you to Louise for responding & acting quickly on the missing items on the " Welcome Park"
