“Extremely well appointed cottage, perfect for two people staying for a week and whilst a bit more urban than we had anticipated, it was very easy to get out of the town and get to the coast or moor.”

Everything has been well-considered; well-stocked kitchen, super utility room and wonderful large bedroom with great wardrobe and drawer space.

- Sally, August 2025
Kevan June 2025

“A wonderful little apartment with everything you need.”

The owners are a lovely couple always there to help if needed. If you want to relax then this is the place, we enjoyed every minute of our week there.

“Beautiful cottage, everything had been thought of, even a cream tea, which was lovely.”

Jean April 2025

“Disappointed that the thermostat was not working, thus no heating.”

Also the electric heater in the bathroom was not working. The owner did promise that these would have been sorted while there, but didn't happen. Every footstep on the upper apartment can be heard by creaking floorboards. Cannot fault the thought that has gone into all the accessories in the kitchen and bathroom, lovely quality towels that actually dry you!! Parking is awkward, especially if you want to get to your boot. Lovely cream tea made for arrival.

Hazel April 2023

“My husband and I had a really enjoyable week at this apartment it was perfect for us, comfortable accommodation, spotlessly clean, no problems at all and whilst sat in the lounge very open outlook to a lovely garden.”

Easy walking distance to local pub that served good food. Did not need to use our car all the time as local bus very prompt and reasonably priced. We managed to go to Torquay, Paignton and Brixham and no parking issues ! Jill and Michael very helpful and we would have no hesitation in recommending a stay at their property.

Thank you both for such lovely feedback its always lovely to hear from our guests that they have enjoyed their stay with us. Property Owner

“Really great accommodation with everything you would need and lots more, Mike and Gill were very good hosts and could not do enough for us including a lovely cream tea on arrival.”

I would recommend this cottage to anyone though getting out of the parking space requires a little practice. Overall a great place to stay.

The property is lovely, set in a very quiet area. Quick access to many places. The owners of the property are on hand as they live in the property above, we had a lovely cream tea waiting for us.

“Garden View is a lovely apartment, well equipped, comfortable and with stunning views.”

The owners are very friendly and welcoming, there was a Devon cream tea awaiting us on arrival and milk in the fridge which was very thoughtful. It is a great base for exploring the area, including Torquay, Paignton, Brixham, Dartmouth, Dartmoor etc. We had plenty to do and see every single day of our holiday. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and can't recommend a break at Garden View highly enough. 10/10

“We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Garden View.”

Jill and Michael (the owners) are really friendly and helpful, and we really appreciated the cream tea, flowers and milk that were there on our arrival. We were lucky weather wise and spent every day revisiting places along the coast that we knew well. The apartment is very comfortable and we had everything we needed. We are sure we will return to Garden View in the future.

Jeni May 2021

“Despite the dreadful weather whilst staying at the cottage the welcome was very warm and cosy.”

The owner who lives upstairs greeted us on arrival and was extremely helpful. The cottage was immaculate and every care had obviously been taken to make it feel like a home from home. The shared garden was lovely and would have been ideal for having breakfast etc if the weather had been better. It is very quiet and peaceful and well placed for local amenities and places to go. We will definitely be back and I would highly recommend this cottage.

- Jeni, May 2021
Jean April 2021

“Lovely apartment, spotlessly clean and comfortable.”

Huge bedroom with loads of wardrobe space to put belongings. Everything you could possibly need has been thought of. A lovely cream tea was waiting for us on arrival as well as fresh flowers and some milk in the fridge. The owners were very nice, helpful and friendly. Great location for getting out and about. Highly recommended.

Andrew April 2021

“Exceeded expectations.”

We went off season, just as self catering opened after the full lockdown. We were delighted to be able to come to Garden View as we books months before. The many small touches (fresh flowers, cream tea, on arrival etc) meant our expectations were exceeded. We made good use of the short walk booklet they provided giving us doorstep and less local walks for morning and afternoon. In addition to our planned walks. The view from the garden is lovely. And a great suntrap. The kitchen is small but was well appointed and adequate to cook our meals each day. The bedroom is large and main room a nice size. It was pleasant that the kitchen was separate. Add the utility room and you have all you need. The Shower room is great and while the water pressure isn't high it is adequate. Reversing out of the drive could be a challenge for some but I didn't find it a significant problem (I have reversing camera and sensors). We mixed our stay between very local, coastal and dartmoor walks with town visits. Making this a perfect location. Our hosts were great and a lovely couple. The accommodation was pristine and had just been redecorated. I highly recommend staying here and there is so much to do we will happily stay here again.

- Andrew, April 2021

“The parking was an issue.”

Reversing about 50 yards to get in or out may cause problems for some.

- Andrea, October 2020
Kathleen September 2020

“Lovely accommodation.”

Spotlessly clean. Very well equipped. Nice touch with cream scone and flowers in apartment. Nearby to all attractions ie Torquay,Brixham,Teignmouth. Plenty of supermarkets and a small Co-op in the village. Ate at the Hare and Hounds food brilliant drinks rather pricey. Visited the model village in Babbacombe brilliant.

- Kathleen, September 2020
Elaine September 2020

“Our only complaint about Garden View was the beds.”

They were very uncomfortable, sagging in the middle and hard on the hips when you lay on your side. I had to put some foam on top to get some sleep. They could do with replacing. When you have been out walking all day, you need a comfortable bed to sleep on.

- Elaine, September 2020

“Our last visit to Garden View was our sixth time, we are maid very welcome every time we are on first name terms with Gillian & Michael.”

Nothing is to much trouble them. from the lovely flowers and the cream tea as a welcome gesture, at one visit I needed a dentist, low and behold Gillian came to my rescue. If we asked for the moon I think they would try to reach it that's how helpful they are.

- David, March 2019
Clare September 2018

“Garden View provided us with a fantastic week away.”
