    "Having used Sykes Cottages for the last 10 years I can honestly say this is the best property we have ever stayed at."

    Spotlessly clean, well equipped, very modern and comfortable. Lovely to look out of the huge sliding glass windows on a night and see the lights of Paignton and Brixham twinkling across Torbay. Enjoyed a few meals on the balcony. Owners live next door so were on hand to welcome us and answer any queries we may have had. Enjoyed the welcome pack left for us.Made friends with their dog Nora and Harry the cat. Would 100% recommend this property if you are looking for a holiday house equipped to a high standard with relaxing views of the sea and coast across the bay.

    "Very spacious property for the 2 of us."

    Hosts were very friendly, helpful and welcoming, as were Harry and Nora. House was well equipped, clean and well furnished. Comfortable bed and efficient shower. Quiet location with wonderful views of Torbay from both the deck and balcony. A twenty minute downhill walk to Torquay, Wellswood and Meadfoot Beach. Would highly recommend and stay again without hesitation.

    Thank you very much for your lovely review, we too hope to see you again. Property Owner

    "Our family had a wonderful stay at Seacroft."

    What a super place. There was everything we needed to make our stay enjoyable. The kitchen was stylish and modern and very well equipped with all that we required and more. Everywhere was immaculately clean. The bedrooms had good storage, beds were extremely comfortable providing an excellent nights sleep and waking up to fabulous views over the bay. We could not have asked for more the owners had thought of everything even leaving home made scones, honey from their bees and Devonshire clotted cream. I must congratulate them on providing a property to such a high standard and hope to look forward to a return visit.

    "We were lucky enough to spend the bank holiday weekend at Seacroft and what a find it was!"

    The house is immaculate, spacious and complete to an extremely high standard with everything you could possibly need. The location is perfect with just a short walk into the centre of Torquay and the views from the balcony’s were fabulous. We were greeted by Phil and Helen on arrival and they were so helpful with recommendations and quick to respond to any messages. The added touches such as fresh scones, cream, jam and fresh eggs from their own chickens were very much appreciated. We also loved the occasional visit from Nora the English bulldog lol. A truly great place to stay and we hope to return at some point. Thank you very much both! X

    Thank you for your lovely review, we’re so pleased you enjoyed your stay, and of course we’d love to welcome you here again Property Owner

The property

Torquay 1.1 miles.

Tucked away at the end of a private lane overlooking Torbay with views across to Paignton, Brixham and beyond, Seacroft is a stunning, holiday home.

Attached to the owners own home and set in the well-regarded area of Wellswood, Torquay, it offers sweeping sea views and a layout designed for both comfort and style.

This bright and airy retreat welcomes one well-behaved dog and includes off-road parking, making it ideal for families or friends seeking a memorable coastal escape.

Inside, the open-plan living space invites you to cook, dine, and relax together, gather around the table for shared meals or settle in front of the Smart TV after a day exploring the English Riviera.

The three bedrooms each bring their own charm: the ground-floor king-size room opens directly onto the garden terrace, the upstairs king-size features a private balcony with views stretching to Berry Head and an en-suite, while the twin room offers a luxurious freestanding bath and walk-in shower.

A separate shower room with laundry facilities adds convenience, and a study area at the top of the stairs provides a quiet spot to catch up on work.

Outside, the terrace is furnished for comfort, where you can enjoy breakfast with a sea breeze or toast the setting sun, Seacroft is a home designed to impress at every turn.

From your position in the charming area of Wellswood, it's impossible not to be drawn towards the jewel of the English Riviera, Torquay, famed for its sandy beaches, palm trees, and bustling marina.

With an impressive selection of attractions, including the Torquay Museum and Agatha Christie Mile, it's sure to cater to every taste.

Enjoy a scenic boat trip from Torquay Harbour to Brixham or Dartmouth, then return to enjoy an evening at the Princess Theatre.

Dine in one of the many award-winning restaurants, or simply indulge in a seaside favourite of fish and chips on the quayside, watching the calm sea lapping at the harbour.

Seacroft blends sea views, stylish comfort, and thoughtful design into a holiday experience you’ll want to return to again and again
