Guests say
The Coach House at Vane Hill is highly praised for its stunning, spacious interiors and festive decorations, making it an ideal retreat for families and groups. Its proximity to Torquay centre and the warmth of the hosts add to the charm of this well-equipped cottage. While some minor maintenance issues are noted, the overall experience is cherished by guests.
Guests consistently describe the property as clean and well-maintained, with only a few comments suggesting areas that could be refreshed.
The property's location is frequently commended for being picturesque and tranquil, yet conveniently close to local amenities and Torquay centre, despite the steep walk mentioned by one guest.
The house is generally regarded as cosy and comfortable, with ample space for relaxation. However, there is a single mention of an uncomfortable mattress, which slightly impacts the score.
Facilities are well-received, with the property being well-equipped for guests' needs. Points are deducted for the lack of locks on bathroom doors and the absence of a welcome pack, which affected the convenience for some guests.
The hosts are celebrated for their thoughtfulness, particularly during the festive season. While gifts under the Christmas tree were a delightful surprise, it is politely noted that such personal touches, though heartwarming, are not guaranteed for every stay.

Lovely accommodation. Our family really enjoyed the stay, it was spacious and had absolutely everything we needed. Very clean , wouldn't change anything. The only thing we would note is a lock on the upstairs bathroom would be good, especially with such a big group. Thanks for a lovely stay. Would recommend.

We've had a wonderful stay in Torquay for 8 girls celebrating 40th birthdays. The house was perfect for what we needed. Our only isue would be the bed in the double back room is very uncomfortable on one side, the mattres completely sagged on the left hand side. Thank you for hosting us. We would definitely stay again.
