A unique Victorian mansion previously owned by the famous writer Rudyard Kipling, situated in a very quiet and beautiful area. Surrounded by acres of gardens and wonderful sea views from nearly all rooms. We have this year added a hot tub, and redesigned gardens. Ample private parking, high speed wifi, sky tv, snooker table, 2 acre garden, coastal path to the beach, very large spacious rooms. Perfect for a peaceful relaxing getaway and only 5 mins walk to the beach and 5 mins drive to Torquay.
Quiet, beautiful, pieceful area. 5 mins walk to beach and to The Thatched Tavern Pub voted Devon's Best Pub and 5 mins drive to Torquay town centre. We are right in the middle of Torquay, Teignmouth and Newton Abbot, so there are plenty of towns around where they have all the shops and everything you will need all within a 10 minute drive. There is ample parking in each town and car parks also.
