We had simply a great stay at Kent cottage, and would highly recommend. It has a charming welcoming feeling about it. Within a two min walk you are amongst a parade of quite excellent little shops, including a fantastic bakers, and a family run Italian resturant. I will certainly want to stay again on my next visit to Torquay. |
Guestbook for Kents Cottage
Many thanks for letting us stay in your lovely cottage. We really did enjoy our stay, The cottage had such a welcoming feel to it and it was in such a great location. Mrs. Wareing (summer '07).
Hi Vicky
Just a quick note to say that we had a really enjoyable time at the cottage – we visited a lot of places in the area either on foot or by car. The weather held up as well – we even managed to sample the local pies and Devon teas – they were excellent! Mrs Squires (summer '07).
Lovely area, perfect cottage and fantastic weather. Kids and grown ups all had a great time, bacon sandwiches on the beach are amazing! Warner family, August 08
Thanks so much for a wonderful holiday, so peaceful. Beaches are clean and lovely and the cottage is perfectly cosy, even on a rainy day. We look forward to returning in the summer. Mr and Mrs Oldham, Sept 08
