What a perfect place for our stay in the Torquay area! The home was easy to find, easily accessed through a lock box, and had everything we needed. I feel I have to mention that the beds were amazing - so comfortable! It was in walking distance to a grocer, several restaurants, and Kent's Caves - and with bus stops nearby if you don't have a car handy. Claire was wonderful to work with, and I definitely would stay here again.

Host was very welcoming even made sure we had arrived safely, the lodge was very comfortable and well equipped and perfectly positioned for what we wanted and where we wanted to be, even though next to a busy pub we wasn't disturbed and if we didnt want to drive plenty of buses or walking distance to lots of different beautiful sites, definitely would stay there again

The property was in a perfect location, close to all amenities and shops! The house was decorated in theme with Christmas and the host went above and beyond to make our stay over Christmas homely and festive. The property is well equipped with basic essentials such as tea, coffee and hairdryer. The kitchen facilities were very good and the coffee machine was a lovely touch. The log burner added extra cozy winter vibes and we really appreciated the Wood and Coal provided. The host was very attentive and easy to contact at all times whilst being very polite and helpful. I would 1000% stay here again and would recommend anyone considering staying here to do so!

St Mathias Lodge is just perfect - cosy, so well equipped and in a great location to explore the Devon Riviera. There is so much to see and do within easy reach. Bus services are excellent. There’s a good selection of local shops just around the corner.

St Mathias Lodge

We found the lodge to be everything we had hoped for. Clean, high quality beds, bedding & towels and well equipped for all we needed. Plenty of eating places within a short easy walk. Perfect location for walks to nearby coves and beaches along lovely country lanes. We would highly recommend a stay at the lodge.

Lovely cottage in a very good location

We had a great stay in this cottage. Very well equipped, convenient location. Walking distance to harbour but also close to a bus stop. Small selection of amenities within few minutes walk on a local high street. Parking space definitely a bonus. Would stay in the cottage again if coming to the area in future.

Anniversary break

This cottage is one of the best equipped holiday homes we have stayed in. It was a comfortable home from home. The cottage is close to local shops and restaurants, as well the bus stop for the short ride to the harbour and shopping area. We would highly recommend this cottage for anyone visiting the Torquay area.

Nice neigbourhood, shops and urban restaurants closeby, not touristic, close to waterfront with nice small beach (no sand), caves that are worth to visit nearby. Accomodation clean, well equiped, towels present, kitchen with coffee, salt, oil etc present. We (couple with daughter) enjoyed our stay very much at this accomodation and location.

Excellent property

This is our second stay in this excellent, comfortable property. The owners have gone to a lot of trouble furnishing the cottage to the highest of standards.... every comfort has been thought of and levels of cleanliness are high. It doesn't matter what type of weather is going on outside, the cottage is still lovely and warm. We will definitely be back.

Very cute cottage

We overall enjoyed our stay at the cottage. It is comfortable and very clean and it was so pleasant to get a welcoming snacks and tea/coffee/milk upon arrival. Claire's communication was very responsive.However, I can't not mention the location next to the pub. The pub was literally next door, and Friday night was fine with some music and chatter happening which was not too much at all. On Saturday though, the pub turned on very loud music which kind of ruined our stay. The music stayed on until after 11PM. I came to Devon for relaxation and honestly it was not as relaxing as I was hoping for. Overall, if the music does not bother you, or you are planning to be out for a lot of time during the day, I can wholeheartedly recommend this place. But I would prefer to find a quieter location for my next trip to the coast.
