Dog friendly Holiday cottage in Torquay, Devon - Sleeps 7 (FCH94002)

Get the whole gang together at this lovely two-storey retreat just a mile outside the heart of the seaside town of Torquay. Sleeping six people across four bedrooms, this charming cottage is an excellent option for families or groups of friends looking for a real home-from-home while they explore the beautiful towns of the English Riviera together.

Spend your day venturing through the underground chambers of Kents Cavern - a prehistoric cave system that dates back some two million years. In the evening, come home to your cottage to enjoy a relaxing dip in the private hot tub while you watch the stars come out. A vaulted ceiling and white-washed interior welcome you when you enter this elegant cottage's open-plan lounge/dining area.

Make yourself at home in front of the electric fire in the stylish feature fireplace, before heading to the spacious open-plan kitchen/breakfast room to whip up some dinner for your loved ones. Gather everyone to eat at the elegant dining table, which is flooded with natural light from the wide glass doors.

Alternatively, head through the patio doors from the lounge to enjoy an al fresco dinner in the large, lush garden. After dinner, get the whole gang together to play board games in the bright but cosy conservatory, or grab your swimsuit and take a well-earned dip in the private outdoor hot tub. At the end of the day, there are four stylish bedrooms waiting for you: one single and one super-king-size on the ground floor, and one double and one king-size bedroom upstairs.

Bathed in a gentle colour palette of soft greys and whites, you'll find the bedroom decor chic, inviting and relaxing. On the ground floor, you'll find a shower room with WC, but there is also a minimalist-style family bathroom on the first floor. Step into a miniature world at Babbacombe Model Village (2 miles) and marvel at tiny villages, bustling cities and intricate landscapes spread across four acres of pretty gardens.

Alternatively, immerse yourself in the natural beauty of Berry Head Nature Reserve (10 miles), which is perched atop rugged cliffs overlooking the English Channel. Explore the remains of the ancient Iron Age fort and visit its historic lighthouse.
