  The location of the house gives great views and is convenient for the town. The provision of tea and coffee on our arrival was a pleasant surprise. We were able to access the house early which was a blessing given we had our baby granddaughter with us. The house was clean and tidy with plenty of room and of course those views. Although I don't want to sound negative there were a few issues. The beds all had winter duvets not summer duvets, and we were blessed this year with great weather, and the central heating was on in the house until we eventually found the controls (behind the microwave). The hot water tank on the first floor was annoyingly noisey, some sort of vibration which could be heard all over the house. Whilst none of these ruined the experience they need looking at. My brother in law who was in the master bedroom suggested the addition of more hooks, to hang up clothes and towels and perhaps a set of drawers in the wardrobe simple things which would be appreciated by the guests.

  I have been coming to Babbacombe/Torquay for the last 45 years and feel I have pretty much stayed in all the accommodation along the Downs.

  Saltwater Cottage is by far the best! It's deceptively spacious and well appointed and feels very homely and relaxing. The location is amazing, being in a quiet side street just off the Downs and close to the shops and restaurants in Reddenhill Road and St Marychurch. You won't be disturbed by any of the bars on the Downs but they are just a very short walk away. Babbacombe and Oddicombe beaches are on your doorstep (well, down a cliff but there's the Cliffside Railway!), so it really is in a fantastic location. My party was of four adults but we had another two visit for drinks and a meal - fish & chips from Hanburys, yum!. There was plenty of room for everyone. I would not hesitate to stay here again. In fact I'm looking forward to booking another trip soon! One last point: the owner genuinely cares about her guests and wants you to enjoy your stay. We didn't have any queries or issues but I got the impression that nothing would have been too much trouble, which is lovely to know!

  The property we stayed was nice. But it could it do with some mirrors about the place, cause when getting ready I only had one hand held mirror, maybe having a dressing table would be nice with a big mirror, especially for us women! ! Nice touch that there was flowers, milk, tea and coffee, dishwasher tablets and cloths etc...on arrival. Description on how to get to the property was accurate and helpful. Lovely views from balcony looking over to the harbour, pubs and restaurants down at the harbour was excellent. Entertainment in the pubs every night, and the locals were friendly. Lots to choose from.! Lots of nice shops as well, everything you needed was only a stones throw away. Boat trips and buses about so you can explore other villages and towns. I would recommend staying there. Over all, besides the property needing more mirrors and a few other little bits it was good. And the weather was kind to us that week. Many thanks

  As a group of 4 adults and 2 teenagers Riviera had plenty of space to accommodate us all without getting in each other’s way. For older adults it is important to remember it is a town house but bringing your days items down in the morning will save repeated stair climbing. The property had everything we needed to cook for the family. The patio and kitchen area was ideal for family relaxing, using the first floor living room for tv and quiet reading. Two on suites the family bathroom and the cloakroom at the property entrance provided more than enough facilities to prevent any morning hold ups. Parking and the gated entrance was perfect to remove any worries in the busy area and the property was close enough to enable walking to the marina and town. All in all a great 2 weeks, perfect location for Royal Torbay Yacht Club, excellent communications in the run up to the stay and would definitely consider coming back.

  My husband and I found Riviera to be beautifully clean and very well appointed when we arrived for a week’s stay just recently. The property is located in a small but secure, gated development and is really well positioned for Torquay Harbour, beaches, restaurants and shopping. (Tip: there is a stepped alleyway on Park Hill Road which saves a longer walk round to the harbour!). The views from the balconies were outstanding and even better at night when all the lights on the harbour came on. You can get ferries from the harbour to Paignton, Brixham and beyond. Lots to do in the area which can be accessed without needing a car (which is safely parked in its own space beside the property). All-in-all a fabulous property - we will be back I’m sure!
