Harbour Bay

• "Harbour Bay was perfect for our week in Torquay with 2 children and our dog."

  It was perfectly situated to have a wonder down to the harbour in the evening for food and plenty around the bay to entertain the kids. It’s within walking distance to Meadfoot beach which was brilliant for paddle boarding with the kids. The apartment was immaculate and really nicely presented. Our car didn’t fit into the off road parking space, but no problem as there was a fab little car park so close that we bought a pass for the week which enabled us to park at all the council owned car parks in Torbay. I would definitely recommend Harbour Bay and would absolutely stay here again. Thanks so much!

• "A lovely new, clean, uncluttered apartment with comfy beds."

  We would have given it 5 stars other than two key points. 1. Dog-friendliness. There's no easy place for toileting and the outdoor seating area isn't fully enclosed so the dog can't be off the lead outside unless being watched. 2. Noise from upstairs. TV, music, and especially footsteps from the house above are clearly heard in this apartment, for example when they get up early for work. It's a pity the builders didn't add a floating floor and proper acoustic dampening when this apartment was built as it's a lot of work to fix now.

  Thank you for your positive comments. The flat is only three years old and has fully passed all building control noise tests. We are very careful whilst going to work in the mornings and always try to be considerate and do our best for our guests. Property Owner

• "A modern, immaculate and stylish apartment within a few minutes' walk from the Harbour of Torquay."

  Almost brand new, ultra modern kitchen with high end appliances, the flat is light, bright and tastefully decorated throughout. Parking is on site, a bonus! The owners are friendly and helpful. Highly recommended, we would definitely return if back in Torquay!!

• "The welcoming wine, milk, fudge and breakfast cereals was a nice gesture although more consumables could be provided (e."

  G. dishwasher tablets and toilet paper). User manuals would be useful for people not familiar with the equipment (TV, Microwave/Oven especially).

• "Excellent property, in a good location."

  Close to the harbour & shops. Great base to explore, close to Babbacombe cliff railway, Brixham, Paignton, Totnes, Dartmouth etc. Property was spotlessly clean, lovely decor. Owners were great ( needed a couple of items which they got for us the same day) I would definitely stay here again and recommend to anyone.

• "We loved our stay here, very clean , excellent location, bedroom needs an other wardrobe only one small wardrobe in each room had to leave most of clothes in case because wardrobe to small for two people and if you go September when it gets dark earlier it’s not safe getting to property as slope has no rails to hold on to and very dark and light only stay on for 5 seconds which means when your walking down the steps if your not a runner the lights go out half way down extremely dangerous."

  Needs urgent attention or there will be a accident

  Thank you for your feedback. We have now added extra lighting at the back so it is fully lit up during the night. Property Owner

• "Beautiful clean place to stay."

  Very relaxing. Max 5 minute walk to the harbour.

  Thank you. We do pride ourselves on ensuring the apartment is cleaned to the highest standards, something we feel is very important. You are right we are less than 500 metres from Torquay Harbourside. Property Owner

• "The property is immaculate as a new building."

  The beds are comfy. Kitchen and living room plenty of space and we'll set out.Bathroom good.car parking was ok for my quashqai just. Negatives were that garden for dogs not pet friendly and not secure. If you wanted to sit in garden it is small and no sunlight. 30 steps down to property and a decent hill to negotiate to get to harbour and amenities. The property is dark all the time and need lights on in the day. Path down steps requires more lighting.Beware of smoke alarm in kitchen goes off very quick and piercing noise. Plenty of good bars and restaurants in close proximity and beaches better at Brixham and Paignton short drive. Be an idea to have a guest book and rules in property.

  Thank you for your lovely comments on the apartment. We have since added new lighting to the steps making sure it is well lit up. It also looks great. Property Owner

• "Harbour bay."

  Excellent facilities, very modern. Close to everything. Great shower and comfortable living room. Just for those a little challenged with fitness/walking there are steps down to the property, around 30 or so. Very stable access with hand rails and lighting provided. Overall this is a fantastic property and great location to all of Torquay

• "Lovely modern, well equipped 2 bedroom property close to Torquay centre, though basement apartment on a hillside, so not suitable for people with mobility issues, but this was fine for us."

  Fabulous welcome gifts and ultra clean. Owner helpful and knowledgeable about local bars and restaurants and lots of local attractions within easy reach. Parking space narrow, but okay if car parked on an angle.

  Your comments are very much appreciated. We are always on hand to offer advice on the area or to assist anything in the apartment. Property Owner

• "The property itself is very nice spacious and clean it had everything you need to be home from home for a week ."

  It was a lovely touch to have a few welcome items left for us after a long drive. We had a few issues with the property 1 being the steps down the picture do show steps but no where near the full extent. There are in actual fact a steep slope and 3 if not 4 sets of steps down to the property, which is not good for anyone suffering with any mobility issues I have to admit I struggle quite alot as I struggle with my sight. The 2nd issue was the parking the space that is at the property is very awkward to park in .it is technically 1/2 parking space and you have to be experienced to park .we struggled with a medium sized car. The last problem was the fact the property is under the owners home I would have expected a tiny bit more courtesy after paying a lot of money to stay there,but it seemed that was not the case. It was not the relaxing week I expected. Maybe the owners do not know just how noisy it is the apartment.

  Thank you for your initial comments. The steps entering the apartment are clearly shown in all pictures of the property. This is a new build completed in 2020 and therefore fully compliant with Local Authority building regulations. The steps are therefore within the correct boundaries and have the relevant hand rails. The parking space is small as stated in the property description. There has never been a time that a guest has not been able to park their car at the property. Including 4x4 and larger cars. As for your comments with regard to noise, we are extremely consciencius and considerate with our guests. You can see from many very positive comments where there are no issues at all.

• "We stayed during the week 18th June 2022 and couldn't fault the interior of the place."

  The owner was very accommodating, kind and extremely helpful. The rooms were spacious , well furnished , clean and of a high standard. However our feedback would have to reflect the 4 stars in so much that the parking is quite difficult ( we struggled to get a Vauxhall Astra in place) . The entrance down the side of the garage is very steep and has many steps ( I fell down them when unloading our luggage ). Though we could see that the owner has obviously spent a large amount on the property, there is a problem with noise from above. It is fair to say that the owner and his family do try to keep the noise down but we were disturbed by them moving around above us on several occasions. Though it advertised as being dog friendly we would point out that there isn't any grassed area for the dog to do his toilet. We would recommend this place provided you don't have a dog, have a very small car and don't mind a bit of noise.

  Thank you for your feedback. We have had many dogs stay and have a lovely time. Whilst there is no grassed area on site we have beautiful gardens less than 100 metres away. With the Harbourside 500 metres. Although our property is linked to the apartment we do our absolute best to consider noise whilst we have guests. I am glad you recognise we do take great care with this. The car parking is small, however we have never had one guest who has not been able to park, including 4x4 and larger cars. Property Owner

  Could not watch anything live on ITV. It would be good to have a hairdryer. Otherwise excellent accommodation would return in a heart beat. Great hosts, nothing was too much trouble, very accommodating.

• "Steve, the owner, was extremely helpful."

  We had to phone him to find exactly where we were and he was kind enough to show us round personally. The apartment is super modern and has everything you could possibly need - I wish I could have taken the kitchen home with me !! The bathroom was a delight, as were the bedrooms. I would recommend a torch for returning at night, and Steve, if you’re reading this I feel some more handrails on the steps leading down to the apartment would be most useful! Lovely place to stay, very close to bars, shops and restaurants - Ephesus, Biancos and The Elephant highly recommended.

  We could call him at any time for advice and he would respond. This accommodation is excellent value for money. Breakfast essentials for the first day was supplied. The property is very coveniently situated near shops and easy walk to the beach. The property has onsite parking which is an added bonus. Would recommend visiting Kents Cavern, Babbacmbe, Brixham and Paignton.
