Lifebuoy Cottage

Lifebuoy Cottage comes ready to use. Heating, electricity, bed linen, towels and Wi-Fi are all covered. The kitchen has an electric cooker, microwave, fridge and washing machine, so you can self-cater properly or just reheat a takeaway. Upstairs, one double and two single beds sleep four; downstairs, the living room has a Smart TV and CD player to fall back on if the weather turns. There's a bathroom with bath and shower, and an enclosed courtyard with garden furniture for sitting outside.

The cottage stands on a hill above Torquay's harbourside, close enough to walk to in a couple of minutes. A parking permit for one car is included in a nearby car park. Dogs are welcome to use the courtyard between coastal walks. Torquay itself has Torre Abbey, Babbacombe Model Village, Kents Cavern and Living Coasts among its attractions, many within reach on foot. The area's beaches and the South West Coast Path lie within easy distance for families wanting to spend time outdoors.
