    We had a very pleasant stay at "A home away from home". The accomodation was very clean & has everything required for a pleasant holiday in Torquay. It's only 10 to 15 minutes walk to the town centre & about the same to the sea front. Local shops...

Enjoy easy access to everything from this perfectly located home base. The home is located 8 min walk from the beach and 5 min from the Riviera leisure centre and Torre Abbey. Visit the local butcher and fishmonger just 1 min down the road with some fresh and tasty products. Enjoy the Tennis and the Golf course and the sandy beaches nearby. Then come and relax in this home away from home with all the amenities to spend a fantastic time in Torbay and Devon
Quiet, Residential but 5-7 mins walk to all local amenities, bars and restaurants etc.
